US Neighbors Plotting Ways to Thwart Deportation of Their Citizens

They are planning for D-Day — Inauguration Day.

Here's how two of our hemispheric neighbors, Honduras and Mexico, are dealing with the threat of mass deportation.

HONDURAS:

Remittances from Hondurans abroad (mostly in the U.S.) account for about a quarter of the Honduran GDP. The Honduran elites don't want that gravy train to end!

"Faced with a hostile attitude of mass expulsion of our brothers, we would have to consider a change in our policies of cooperation with the United States, especially in the military arena," Honduran President Xiomara Castro recently stated.

"[The Americans] maintain military bases in our territory, which in this case would lose all reason to exist in Honduras."

Honduras is our closest military ally in Central America, and has even sent troops to help us in Iraq.

The U.S. military's Joint Task Force Bravo (JTF-B) is headquartered at Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras, with between 1200 and 1500 American troops stationed there.

JTF-B carries out humanitarian aid missions in Central America. So will those operations end if the U.S. military gets kicked out of Honduras?

One thing's for sure – Xiomara doesn't want her people back!

MEXICO

The vast majority of Biden's illegal invaders entered the U.S. through Mexico.

After balking for a while, Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said she is open to receiving deportees – including non-Mexicans.

Her predecessor, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, had a good working relationship with both Trump and Biden. Sheinbaum will likely have the same with Trump.

I think Mexico is going to take back its own deportees and even non-Mexican deportees and may cooperate in other ways on the border.

Mexico is planning to have 25 shelters (each housing 500 deportees) in operation by January 20.

Simultaneously, though, you can expect Mexico to meddle in the deportation process.
