So what takes place July 1st, you ask? Mexico's every six years election for President, which is a one term possible only for a length of six years deal. Lopez Obrador, he of the very far left and quite un-American in his rhetoric, is the current front runner by a wide margin. I see good and bad in this for the US. On the one hand, I cheer Mr. Obrador winning as I believe he will stand up to Trump in ways that Americans actually will be stunned to see happen.....on the other hand, I don't care for his recent comments that illegal immigration from Mexico to the US is "a human right" - liberal though I may be, this rhetoric doesn't quite sit right with me.
I also believe Lopez Obrador might institute difficulties for US citizens to cross the border for desperately needed medical and dental.....perhaps requiring a visa to do so, and making the visa difficult and or expensive to get. I can truly see this happening as can some of my neighbors and the 85006 overall is alarmed as a safety valve against America may be getting cut off soon. Very very very scary stuff.......Though I blame Obrador should this transpire, the events that have led us to this juncture I blame on Trump and the US.
I can see lots of fiery rhetoric between the US and Mexico coming.....guess whose side I will (mostly) be on? Rob
