Mexico is in the thick of a presidential election, with voting scheduled for July 1. The four candidates and two moderators debated “Mexico and the World” in Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, on May 20. “Bash Trump Night” would have been a better title—Or “Mexico Must Meddle More In U.S. Politics!” Unlike Russia, they don’t even attempt to hide it.

The four candidates, in descending order vis-a-vis their positions in the polls.

Andrew Manuel Lopez Obrador, known as AMLO, is the standard-bearer of the three-party coalition, Together We Will Make History.

Ricardo Anaya Cortes, of the three-party For Mexico to the Front.

Jose Antonio Meade Kuribrena of the three-party Everybody for Mexico.

Jaime Heliodor Rodriguez Calderon better known as “El Bronco,” an independent.

Here’s a group photo right before the debate, left to right: Bronco, Anaya, Meade and AMLO.

And here's a photo of the the two moderators, Leon Krauze and Yuriria Sierra, who had plenty to say—not just ask— as well.

Yes, they are pretty white, aren’t they? And Krauze, the son of Trump-bashing elitist Mexican intellectual Enrique Krauze, resides in Los Angeles, where he is anchorman on a Univision station.

I watched the debate, then extracted and translated the relevant quotes, noting the time where each appears [Segundo Debate Presidencial (Second Presidential Debate), Univision Noticias, May 20, 2018].

Bottom line: All the candidates displayed how Mexican politicians think about the U.S. and about Mexican immigrants here—they have contempt for our sovereignty, demand Open Borders, and think Mexicans in the U.S. owe allegiance to them.
