New reports have emerged that Arizona Republican Kari Lake could be in the running for a position within the incoming Trump administration. It’s being said that she could be President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for ambassador to Mexico. This would be a really good choice due to her hardline stance on illegal immigration and border security, which means she wouldn’t take any guff from our neighbors south of the border on this particular issue.
This, of course, has establishment Republicans quaking in their boots because, well, they’re bootlickers. If you find such an assertion offensive, then you’re who the comment is directed toward. We’ve allowed the Mexican government to get away with doing nothing to curb the massive tsunami of illegal migrants from flooding into the country. They should be held accountable for their lack of action and someone like Lake would be great at taking Trump’s policies to Mexico and laying the law down.
According to the folks at Natural News:
If appointed, Lake would find herself at the center of one of the most contentious issues facing the incoming administration: immigration reform. However, her potential nomination has sparked debate within the Republican Party, with some questioning whether her hardline stance on border security and her vocal history of fighting election fraud make her the right choice for such a sensitive diplomatic position. Lake, a former news anchor turned political firebrand, has been a vocal advocate for stringent border security and a fierce defender of Trump’s unproven claims that the 2020 election was stolen. Her political career, marked by two unsuccessful bids for statewide office in Arizona, has been defined by her unwavering loyalty to Trump and her commitment to his agenda.
As Trump prepares to take office for a second term, Lake’s name has emerged as a leading contender for the role of ambassador to Mexico. The position would place her at the forefront of negotiations with left-wing Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government on issues ranging from migration and counternarcotics to trade and tariffs. Trump has already signaled that immigration will be a top priority of his administration, vowing to deport millions of illegal migrants and impose massive tariffs on Mexican goods until the flow of drugs and undocumented immigrants across the southern border is halted.
Now, even if Lake is being seriously considered for this position as ambassador to Mexico, that does not mean she’s assured confirmation by the Senate. Remember, while the herd has been thinned over the last ten years, there are still plenty of Republicans in name only (RINOs) within Congress and the party. And they view Lake as someone who threatens their ability to get reelected.
And there’s also the issue of her political losses in her campaigns for Senate and governor in Arizona.
“Republicans want to get rid of two-time loser Kari Lake,” a source close to the Republican National Committee told the New York Post. “The best way to do that is for Trump to exile her out of the country in a plum sinecure that will keep her out of Arizona politics for at least four years.”
Mexico, a key ally and trading partner, has already pushed back against Trump’s proposed tariffs, with Sheinbaum describing the situation as having resulted in a “very kind” phone call with the president-elect to discuss the contentious issue. Lake, known for her fiery rhetoric and uncompromising stance on immigration, would need to navigate these delicate negotiations while maintaining the delicate balance of U.S.-Mexico relations.
“Critics argue that Lake’s history of battling election fraud and her inflammatory language on immigration could undermine her effectiveness as an ambassador. During her campaigns, Lake described the influx of migrants as an ‘invasion’ and campaigned on finishing the border wall, increasing the number of asylum judges, and expediting deportations. While these positions align with Trump’s agenda, they could alienate Mexico’s government and complicate efforts to reach a mutually beneficial agreement on immigration and trade,” Natural News stated in conclusion.
