Honduran President Xiomara Castro just issued a threat to President Trump,
saying she'll shutdown U.S. military bases if he deports Honduran
nationals.

"Faced with a hostile attitude of mass expulsion of our brothers, we would
have to consider a change in our policies of cooperation with the United
States, especially in the military arena, where, without paying a cent for
decades, they maintain military bases in our territory, which in this case
would lose all reason to exist in Honduras.

"We hope that the new U.S. administration of democratically elected
President Donald Trump will be open to dialogue, constructive and friendly,
and will not take unnecessary reprisals against our migrants, who normally
make a great contribution to the U.S. economy."

-------------------
The balls on her.

Here's a more honest version of her statement: "Honduras is such a shitpile
(because of the political corruption of which I am a huge part) that our
population is fleeing like rats off a sinking ship and illegally invading
the U.S., but America better not do anything to stop it or we'll be big
mad."

And if illegal Honduran aliens make such great contributions to the United
States economy, shouldn't she be pleased that they'll be coming back home
to contribute there?

Here's my counteroffer:

In FY 2023, the Department of State and USAID provided $785.05 million in
bilateral, regional, centrally managed, and humanitarian assistance to
Honduras. Additionally, the Soto Cano Air Base to which she refers
contributes another $200 million annually to the Honduran economy.

So if Presidente Castro wants to fuck around, we'll just find other uses
for all that tax money and she'll find out to the tune of a billion-dollar
loss in her country's revenue.

Otherwise, she can shut her trap and get on board with Operation
Repatriation.
