1. Mexico doesn’t have oil. And we can’t say that terrorists from Mexico are being harbored and trained in Venezuala…so we’re going to start a war there. On that note, Obama’s dad didn’t start a war in Venezuala in the 90′s…so Obama doesn’t have to finish a war there to make his dad proud of him.

2. There are a lot of Mexican American’s living in the US. So it’s a lot harder to dehumanize them by calling them terrorists. That would start blurring the line between “terrorist” and “human” and people would start to get uncomfortable.

3. It’s too close. Too many people have been to Mexico so we can’t paint Mexico as a land of terror without a face.
