First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Attacking communists is the first step. That's where the line needs to be drawn. Not an inch to fascism.

Yes, my opinion can be changed for Mexico, and it would be made in the moment.

Frankly I wish our governments would more openly stand with one another. I would support it 100%

By the way, the words Niemoller wrote refer to internal oppression and disenfranchisement. For any example of an external analogue in the same time period, consider UK agreement with Poland, that eventually pulled them into the war and which they courageously honored and defended. We don't have such an agreement with Mexico.
