> What does the US benefit from this new policy?

This really makes me feel like a conspiracy theorist, but it doesn't seem as far from reality as it should...

If there's no response: exhibiting total dominance of the region and being able to make up whatever unverifiable statistics they want re: domestic safety (drugs, gangs, etc).

If there is a response: potential for armed conflict which could become a pretense for interning more citizens with hispanic heritage, similar to what was done to Japanese Americans in the 1940s.
