Mexico City – So, word on the street is DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin went down to Mexico to chop it up with President Claudia Sheinbaum. They both said they gon' keep the security thing goin', based on 'mutual respect.' But lemme tell you somethin', real talk: I ain't holdin' my breath.

'Mutual respect'? That's what they always say. But what that really mean for the brothers and sisters gettin' harassed at the border? What that mean for the families tryna make a better life, only to get locked up in ICE cages?

We been hearin' this same song and dance for years. Dems and Republicans, they all talk the talk, but the streets stay the same. Ain't nothin' changed for the homies.

They talkin' 'security challenges.' That's code for keepin' us out. They wanna stop the drugs, but they ain't doin' nothin' about the root of the problem. Poverty, lack of opportunity – that's what's drivin' people to make desperate moves.

They probably promised Mexico some bread to keep doin' their dirty work. Payin' them to lock up migrants and keep 'em from reachin' the U.S. That's the 'mutual respect' they talkin' about.

The feds ain't never been about helpin' the community. They about protectin' the bag for the corporations. Keepin' the cheap labor flowin' and makin' sure the rich stay rich.

They say it's about 'national security,' but it's really about control. Control over the border, control over the people, control over the narrative. They don't want us movin' freely, makin' moves, and buildin' our own power.

This ain't about respect. It's about oppression. It's about keepin' us down. But we ain't gonna let 'em. We gotta keep fightin', keep organizin', and keep demandin' justice.

We gotta build our own institutions, our own economies, and our own power. We can't rely on the feds to save us. We gotta save ourselves. Period.

Until they start treatin' us like human beings, until they start addressin' the real problems, this 'mutual respect' talk is just a bunch of BS. Keep it 100, ain’t nobody fooled.

The struggle continues; keep your head up and keep pushin’ forward.

This ain't nothin' but smoke and mirrors. Don't believe the hype.
