Mexico will never tolerate an invasion of its national sovereignty by the United States, President Claudia Sheinbaum warned Thursday after Washington designated Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

“This cannot be an opportunity for the U.S. to invade our sovereignty,” she said. “With Mexico it is collaboration and coordination, never subordination or interventionism, and even less invasion.”

On Wednesday, the Trump administration formally labeled eight cartels as terrorist groups. They include Mexico’s two main drug trafficking organizations, the Jalisco New Generation and Sinaloa cartels.

      As a Mexican immigrant living in the United States for almost 8 years now, if that happens I go to my Mexico Mágico, fuck this cultural cleanse culture.

      Approx. 200 years ago Mexico was in a similar position to what the United States used to portray until not too long ago, a pluricultural melting pot of different cultures from all over the world… It had just declared its independence from Spain in 1821, the 5 de Mayo war a few years later, brought French men who decided to stay after losing, Persian or Arabian immigrants brought what came to be the Taco Al Pastor, German immigrants residing in the port of Mazatlán brought the brass instruments, that now make up the regional music known as Banda, and the indigenous culture of the country combined with the influx of migrants developed one of the most intriguing and acclaimed cuisines in the world. Is the United States just gonna be like the UK 200 years from now?

        I’m an American from California living in Europe. When people ask me what I miss most about it, I tell them its proximity to Mexico. The cuisine is truly unmatched in the world, god damn. For those of you who’ve never been south of the border, I’m not just talking about your typical Tex Mex stuff. The incredible moles and pozoles and huachinangos and stuff from incredibly beautiful cities like Queretaro, and Puebla, and Oaxaca… just incredible. Writing this comment has made me want to book another trip back to Mexico. To Expedia I go, San Luis Potosí here I come!

        I hope not. But everything happens so much faster now than 200 years ago. In 200 years, if humanity still exists, it will be so different, perhaps nearly unrecognizable.

        What part of Mexico are you from? I’ve been to Mexico City, the West Coast, and Baja California. Take me with you? Mi Español es mierda pero soy un estudiante rapido.
