I haven’t seen a VW Thing in years. I had a ‘72 VW Super Beetle with a Baja kit. Only 4 wheeled vehicle I’ve ever owned that would float.
Actually, the only one I ever had the opportunity to see if it would float.

Not to say it wouldn't get wet inside, but the old beetles will float.
Mexico kept the Beatle and Things made of Beatles alive for years after the rest of the world moved on. They are progressive.
VW used to have an ad where they dropped a Bug into a swimming pool. Narrator said. This is to prove the Beatle will definitely float, however it will not float indefinitely.

In Las Vegas during the 70's my buddy had a jeep with a winch. During flash floods we would drive the roads that had ravines where we would pull people out for $20. We were just about done pulling out this one car when a VW floated by, but it was moving too fast for us to catch it.

We should invade Mexico and make it America! Then kill all the drug lords!
I say invade in 75 miles & make the last 50 miles a no go zone! Razor wire, mine fields, drones & gun emplacements.

We should strike a deal where Americans are free to visit/live in Mexico, with our guns and recognition of our stand your ground and castle doctrine rights.

What a mess...
The polarization of this country is troubling. I never thought I would ever say such a thing but I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if a civil war occurs at some point in time in the future. I sure hope not, it would be the ruin of us all.

A lot of us have been very concerned about this for a while because of a lot of things, not just immigration. I'm almost at the point where I think it's not a question of if, but when. Something is going to give - we can't continue as a country this way. I don't know what the trigger will be but I fear it's just matter of time before something breaks and sets it off.
Didn’t take much to set those folks off in Ferguson, and the city, county and state couldn’t control the fallout. Imagine it happening nationwide.
Posse comitatus will go out the window if it happens. Justifiably so. What worries me is the affect it would have on the US and global economy.
Talking about such things is disturbing. The possibility of it more so. I’ve worked my ass off all my life to enjoy peace and quiet when I retire. The last thing people expect to worry about is their assets becoming worthless because our country became dysfunctional and imploded. That’s what will happen if citizens and elected officials don’t work together to solve these problems.

My dad was in a tent in Las Vegas training for WWII. If it was good enough our greatest generation, I should serve a bunch of illegal border jumpers just fine. Hell mix our homeless problem in with them. Look around the world & see what tent refugee camps look like!
We are already in a civil war, we just have not started shooting. Folks are using just about every method (SWATing, trying to get you fired for your 1A actions, doxxing, you name it), except shooting that is war to me.
Like it or not, it's awful hard to negotiate anything from a position of disadvantage, in this case he is reminding Mexico that we will press our advantages when they become obtuse. If you go back to the republic days and McNellys Rangers or the border wars of the late 1800's you will se that the only way to successfully negotiate with them (Mexican politicians) is to do it the hard way.
