March 31st 1492: Spanish expulsion
On this day in 1492, the joint Catholic monarchs of Spain - Ferdinand and Isabella - issued the Alhambra Decree. This decree ordered the expulsion of all Jews who refused to convert to Christianity from the Spanish kingdoms of Castile and Aragon by July 31st. This measure was pushed for by the monarchs’ adviser Tomas de Torquemada, who spearheaded the Spanish Inquisition aimed at rooting out heresy. Ferdinand and Isabella agreed to the expulsion after successfully completing the reconquista- the unification of Spain under Christian rule - with the conquest of Granada. The majority of the nearly 200,000 Spanish Jews chose to leave the country rather than renounce their religion and culture. Many of these Sephardic Jews moved to Turkey, Africa, and elsewhere in Europe, though they often encountered violence as they tried to leave the country. The Jews who remained became conversos,suffering harassment and mistrust.The policy of religious conformity continued in 1502, when Spanish Muslims were also ordered to convert to Christianity. The Alhambra Decree was formally revoked by the Second Vatican Council in 1968, as part of a general attempt by the Spanish government to make amends for the painful legacy of the expulsion.

3 concepts to understand the Mexican/American Border
Jesús Malverde - The literal patron saint of NARCO. Cartel culture is so ingrained in Mexican life that it is religious/spiritual. That mindset doesn’t just go away once crossing the border.
Reconquista- A political view believing in an inherent right to territory that was formerly belonging to Mexico in the U.S. Illegal aliens deliberately cross the border out of ideological entitlement.
Cuerpomatico - A crude and cruel colloquial joke referring to Cartel coyote’s and human traffickers who have migrants pay their way across the border with sex like a “body” (cuerpo) “ATM” (automatico, the word for an ATM in Mexico). The power vacuum of “open borders” ideology quite literally created the worst most systemic form of “rape culture” on earth, covered up by the very leftists who profess to advocate against it.
The only way to consistently control crime that is so ideologically indoctrinated is with infrastructure. Which is why the BORDER PATROL endorsed President Donald Trump for his Wall in 2016, and continue to do so now.
