Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe is challenging the Joe Biden administration to start doing its duty to protect the United States.

The challenge comes after the Mexican military apparently took over property belonging to an American construction company.

Getting pretty used to the Biden administration letting China and Russia kick sand in our faces (covid and fentanyl deaths, spy balloons, taking down U.S. MQ-9 Reaper)—but now Mexico, too? The Biden administration needs to engage immediately to defend a U.S. company and to… https://t.co/WFjFueUmNw

On social media, he said, "Getting pretty used to the Biden administration letting China and Russia kick sand in our faces (covid and fentanyl deaths, spy balloons, taking down U.S. MQ-9 Reaper) – but now Mexico, too? The Biden administration needs to engage immediately to defend a U.S. company…."

It was Cliff Sims, a former Trump administration intel official, who posted on social media a video of the incident, from earlier this month.

Do you regard Mexico as an ally of the United States?

He noted, "This is insane."

The video shows Mexican military officials, police units and others entering the property.

Vulcan chairman J. Thomas Hill told Esteban Moctezuma, Mexico's ambassador to the U.S., that the seizure is "illegal."

He explained CEMEX, a Mexican corporation, worked with the government to take over Vulcan's property and it still "illegally" occupies it.

He said, "I am writing to request that your government immediately order its forces and officials to leave our private property. The government's participation in this gross violation of our property rights is yet another example of the government's arbitrary and illegal treatment of Vulcan and its investments in Mexico. This occupation must cease immediately."

EDITOR'S NOTE: Question: Why do the political and corporate leaders of America – long the freest, most successful, most prosperous and most Christian nation in history – bow and scrape before China, a ruthless, communist, totalitarian and explicitly atheistic dictatorship openly committed to ruling the world, including America?

The astonishing answers come into focus only when one contemplates both the unprecedented level of political and financial corruption in America's ruling class (multiple Biden family members received $31 million in payola from China), and simultaneously the communist Chinese government's brilliantly devious methods of unconventional total warfare, by which China is stealthily infiltrating, subverting, corrupting and colonizing the United States of America.

The China threat has rarely been more dramatically or pointedly documented than in the sensational March issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "HOW CHINA IS CONQUERING AMERICA." Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
