Part 4/8:
Discussing the recent reports of cartel incursions into American territories, Hanson persuasively presents the idea that American sovereignty is increasingly under threat. He argues for a reevaluation of U.S.-Mexico relations, suggesting that the United States should assert its interests more vocally to gain respect from its southern neighbor.
He suggests potential strategies, including imposing a tax on remittances sent back to Mexico, thereby reinforcing the notion that if illegal immigration continues unchecked, there will be fiscal repercussions for these actions. The purpose of these arguments is to underline an enduring reality: glancing at the relationship with Mexico can reveal a lot about how the U.S. is perceived and treated on the world stage.
