MAYBE MEXICO SHOULD DO SOME EXTREME VETTING

Joshua Caplan at Jim Hoft's Gateway Pundit is delighted to report this:
American Spring Breakers Chant “Build That Wall” In Cancun – Mexican Locals Freak!

Americans from around the country are pumped about President Trump’s plans to build a border wall with Mexico. Young people are particularly excited and have taken to letting our neighbors to the south know how we feel about the President’s immigration plan.

As per The Yucatan Times:
What would be a dream night for Suly and Anaximandro Amable, a newly married couple who went to Cancun for their honeymoon, became a bitter experience on Monday March 13.

During a family show on the high seas, young American spring breakers began to sing the controversial “Build That Wall” chant, which shocked Mexican national tourists and workers.

This is just one of the many blameworthy behaviors that young spring breakers have shown recently in Cancun and that are described as acts of xenophobia and discrimination against Mexicans within their own country, which is (or should be) totally unacceptable.

Anaximandro, from Perú, made the following statement on social networks: “Today I was with Suly, my wife (who is a native of Mexico), watching an entertainment show off the coast of Cancun aboard a boat, and at the end of the show, a flock of Americans (maybe under the influence of alcohol, or maybe not), began to sing the infamous “Build that wall” chant louder and louder”.
(Emphasis in the Gateway Pundit post.)

The Yucatan Times story goes on to say:
Several Mexican tourists on board the ship expressed their annoyance, but the Americans did not stop at all and continued singing the racist hymn.
So this disturbance of the peace offended Mexican tourists as well as a Peruvian who wanted to enjoy a nice honeymoon with his Mexican-born wife. Aren't reports like this likely to deter future tourists from spending money at Mexican tourist locations, or at least those where Americans might be present? It seems to me that allowing American tourists into Mexico -- or at least the wrong kind of American tourists -- could actually be hurting the Mexican tourist economy.

So perhaps Mexico should begin its own form of extreme vetting. Why not stop Americans at the border and ask for the passwords to their social media pages? If a young American is on the way to Mexico for spring break and his Facebook page is full of #MAGA hashtags and Pepe cartoons, that's a clear-cut indication that he's been radicalized and shouldn't be allowed into the country, don't you think? And while the Mexicans are at it, they should be seizing and unlocking phones at the border to check for further signs of radicalization. You can't be too careful.

Or, given the fact that this seems to be happening repeatedly...
This situation is far from being an isolated incident, and it adds to the growing number of complaints from tourism sector workers, who point out that in recent days many Spring Breakers have been offensive, rude and haughty towards Mexican people.
... maybe there should be a total and complete shutdown of Americans entering Mexico -- at least until Mexicans can figure out what the hell is going on.
