Heck yes, one down and 49 to go! Mexico Warns on Florida

Citing conditions and legal issues at Governor Ron DeSantis’ “Alligator Alcatraz” facility in the Everglades, a Mexican diplomat issued a stark warning to anyone from his country thinking of traveling to Florida.

“They should take precautions or not come to Florida,” Juan Sabines, the consul of Mexico in Orlando, told TPM in a conversation this week. “You should take extreme precautions when you come to Florida.”

Speaking in Spanish during an interview Tuesday evening, Sabines said Mexicans visiting the state need to take care with “basic things” such as ensuring they are renting cars from legitimate locations, driving with a license, and carrying documentation at all times. Sabines’ concerns were based on a case he has been involved in where two brothers were brought to the detention camp. Mexican officials have said both brothers had valid documentation.

“They will detain you here for anything,” Sabines said.

One state down, only 49 more to go. Soon we will have countries telling their people it just not safe for them to be in the United States

We are starting to have Mexican government officials tell their OWN constituents (because that's the point, they're citizens from there) to not go to Florida. The problem is of course that there is actual immigration enforcement now and they will be detained and deported. There's lost time, lost money, and loss of freedom while they wait around for their due process.

One state down, only 49 more to go. Soon we will have countries telling their people it just not safe for them to be in the United States.

That will be awesome.

Trump needs 20 more detention centers all with increasingly more ominous names.

Then everyone needs to remember. Every illegal immigrant can download an app to their cell phone, and request to self deport. They will get a free ticket. They will get $1000 and most of all, according to their diplomats, they will be safe.

Bring it on!

Why would someone from Mexico want to go to Florida just for tourist reasons?
