A Mexican naval ship smashed into the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night, leaving two sailors dead and 19 injured in a shocking display of foreign incompetence on American soil. The 300-foot “training vessel” veered wildly out of control before colliding with the historic landmark, proving yet again that open borders and lax security put hardworking Americans at risk.
This foreign military ship had no business clogging up New York’s waterways during a so-called “goodwill tour” while our own Coast Guard struggles with real threats. The Cuauhtémoc’s reckless negligence destroyed its own masts and endangered civilians – a stark reminder of what happens when we prioritize international photo-ops over common-sense border protections.
While brave first responders prevented further tragedy, the injuries to 19 crew members reveal the human cost of globalist naval pageantry. New Yorkers can thank American engineering that our iconic bridge withstood this foreign blunder – a testament to what patriots built before today’s era of weak leadership.
Records show this Mexican vessel planned to visit communist Cuba and other hostile nations during its 254-day joyride across the Atlantic. Why are American taxpayers forced to foot the bill for securing waterways used by foreign militaries touring enemy territories?
The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed the ship’s crew waited until 45 seconds before impact to call for help – a disastrous failure of planning that perfectly illustrates the chaos of unchecked foreign operations. Real accountability would mean banning foreign warships from our harbors until they prove competence.
This disaster exposed critical security gaps as foreign vessels approach American landmarks. While our bridges stand strong, our leaders’ vulnerability to international pressure creates invisible cracks in national defense. How many wake-up calls do we need before securing our ports?
The two fallen sailors – América Yamilet Sánchez and Adal Jair Marcos – deserve better than being sacrificed for Mexico’s naval vanity project. Their deaths should fuel demands to put American lives first, not endless foreign entanglements.
Enough is enough. It’s time to ground all non-essential foreign military vessels in U.S. waters until proper vetting and safety checks are enforced. Let this tragedy be the moment patriots reclaim control of our borders – starting with the waterways that built our nation’s greatness.
