US Security Chief’s Messages and Border Security
The deluge of messages from the United States’ National Security Chief, Kristi Noem, seems to foreshadow an announcement that Donald Trump has “secured the border,” a claim bolstered by the decrease in fentanyl smuggling, though not explicitly stated. This outcome is largely due to the coordination between Mexican and US authorities.
It’s unacceptable for domestic front purists from Morena to obfuscate the Republic’s crime-fighting efforts with their biased narratives of jealousy and rivalry among military and civilian leaders in the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection.
Will the Mexican Transistmic Railway be too late?
President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government faces the challenge of expediting the construction of the Transistmic Railway, which was postponed until the end of the López Obrador administration despite being the most significant of all signature projects.
It may be prudent to reconsider some funding assumptions and private participation in the Transistmic project, as China is preparing to build the new Bioceánico Tren from Peru’s Ilo port to Brazil’s Santos, the largest in Latin America. If Mexico’s project remains subject to original conditions amidst current budgetary constraints, the Bioceánico could be completed before the Transistmic, leaving Mexico behind in a historic race once again.
Do We Build an Enclave for Mexicans?
The Consejo Nacional de Evaluación de la Política de Desarrollo Social (Coneval) report, “Pobreza y población indígena en México,” reveals that multidimensional poverty among monolingual groups reaches 87%. This author, born on the US-Mexico border, has long believed that while preserving Mexico’s indigenous languages is important, governments cannot neglect ensuring Spanish-language education reaches all indigenous Mexicans.
The “indigenista” endeavors of academics and professionals, though respectfully acknowledged, have unfortunately resulted in linguistic ghettos due to budgetary constraints and community isolation, exacerbating the poverty of these groups.

Was no one aware?… Information provided by the US government, resulting from federal authorities’ hard hits on fuel theft, might have unforeseen political repercussions and shake up the political landscape, say the informed… If, as many internationalist scholars argue, Trump’s true battle is with China, it’s incomprehensible that some believe Asia is an option for Mexico… An intriguing reflection for the era of AI, as per Víctor Hugo: “It is not machines that lead and drag the world, but ideas”…
