Mexico’s latest move to warn its citizens about Florida has backfired in spectacular fashion. Just days after Mexico issued a travel advisory targeting Florida due to a new detention center, U.S. officials called the hypocrisy “laughable.” Retired Border Patrol Chief Chris Clem piled on, slamming Mexico’s warning as “brazen” during a recent Fox News appearance. “They’re lecturing us about safety while Americans face real dangers south of the border?” Clem asked, shaking his head. “It’s tone-deaf and ridiculous.”
The drama centers around “Alligator Alcatraz,” a nickname for Florida’s new deportation flights targeting illegal aliens. Mexico claims these operations make the state unsafe—but Clem counters, “We’re finally enforcing the law, and they’re nervous their citizens could get caught.” The flights aim to deport migrants who’ve committed serious crimes, yet Mexico’s government acts like moral arbiter.
Meanwhile, America’s warnings about Mexico remain ignored. Multiple Mexican states like Zacatecas and Baja California are under Level 4 “Do Not Travel” alerts due to rampant cartel violence. “They have the audacity to warn their people about Florida while their own cities burn?” Clem noted. “U.S. citizens die in their narco-borderlands, and Mexico dares to play victim?”
Border hawks are loving Florida’s tough stance. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s team praised the deportation flights as “exactly what Americans want.” The contrast couldn’t be sharper: Mexico lectures while U.S. citizens avoid their deadly drug zones. “Florida’s acting like adults; Mexico whines like children,” a former ICE agent told Fox.
The detention center Mexico cited isn’t a danger—it’s a tool to protect Floridians. “These flights send a clear message: break our laws, face consequences,” a border sheriff explained. Yet Mexico denies similar security efforts because their cartels control large portions of southern territories.
Conservatives are calling out the double standards. “Mexico’s warning is a smokescreen for their failures,” tweeted Rep. Dan Bishop. “They can’t secure their own borders, so they attack ours?”
The U.S. State Department’s latest Mexico advisories reveal grim truths. “Violent crime, extortion, and gang activity are widespread” in states like Zacatecas, officials warn. Yet Mexico’s government is silent about these dangers—too busy criticizing America’s lawful policies.
Patriots vow to keep supporting border security: “Let Mexico focus on their cartels while we fix our immigration crisis,” a grassroots leader said. “Their tantrums won’t stop us from keeping America safe.”
