MEMO
To: President of the United States of America
From: Jay Zaragoza
Date: Wednesday, June 5th 2019
Subject: Attack on Mexico
The purpose of this memo is to plea for aid through an executive order for our close ally Mexico on the wake of this attack by the EZLN. Mexico needs to maintain a free and independent condition as per policies already in place. The first issue we need to deal with is to take care of the injured citizens during the attack which number in the dozens as last reported. The U.N. must stand ready in case the attacks are prolonged and red cross must be contacted and involved immediately.
Mexico and the U.S. have for long had a strong bond and the Monroe doctrine dictates that this response is definitely within the foreign policy spectrum and in our best interests. Military force is not yet on the table as we believe the attack is attributed to a small faction of the EZLN. At the moment there are financial measures that may be implemented to prevent future acts of terror. The U.S. government can target businesses that are tied to the activities of the EZLN and its leader, this can be done through an executive order, declaring a national emergency or new legislation as per the Kingpin act.
We know that by targeting a rebel group’s finances we may weaken them enough to eventually have law enforcement dismantle the threat. We know from previous experience that this strategy worked when we dismantled the Cali Cartel in Colombia. The Monroe doctrine dictates we get involved when protecting mutual interests in Latin America.
Dear Mr. President, I am hoping that you can see that the path of friendship and quick response to help a close ally can only benefit our mutual interests. I beg an executive order be enacted to resolve this issue.
