Mexico does not exist
Conspiracy theories are incredibly easy to fabricate in large part because they require zero critical thinking skills to believe. The essential virtue of the conspiracy theorist is the complete inability to consider an alternative perspective. They've reached the conclusion before they've ever collected evidence, so anything that aligns with their pre-existing notions just bolsters their conviction. And anything that contradicts their conviction just gets dismissed as something manufactured to fit an agenda, or that the experts behind it are too corrupt or too inept to properly comment on their own field of research.
I mean, the recipe to create a conspiracy theory is incredibly simple. All you need is a villain, a motive, and repetition. The more you see or hear something, the truer it becomes in your mind.
I'll create an example: Mexico does not exist.
The mainstream media focus on illegal immigration, drug smuggling, and cartels is all a diversion created by the government to justify siphoning billions of taxpayer dollars annually on sham bureaucratic agencies like Border Patrol, ICE, and the DEA, in collaboration with the tortilla lobby that aims to make money by creating "Mexican" food. Burritos were actually inspired by Japanese sushi and only came to the US after WWII, where flour wraps were used as a substitute for seaweed.
Since tensions between Japanese Americans and white Americans were still hot following Allied victory, they used the idea of the country of Mexico to start their businesses and build back their wealth while avoiding suspicion and animosity. Mexico is just a portmanteau of Mock Existing Country. It's been used periodically throughout history to justify things like land wars, seizing territory, and making money for defense contractors to build fake walls, detention centers, and border stations all while arming government agents operating in southwestern states.
Why do you think we don't apply the same security standards for Canada if we also share a border with them? Follow the money and you'll find your answer
The photos and videos you see of migrants crossing or children being held in cages are all paid actors playing a role for the camera. The towns along the border are government fronts for drug and human trafficking, illegal organ harvesting, weapon smuggling, child sacrifice, money laundering, and lucha libre. People claiming Mexican heritage are doing it solely to collect minority scholarships, affirmative action benefits, and protected government status. It's all a lie, there's no such country.
While it's true that there is a landmass south of the border, there is no actual country of Mexico in terms of government, population centers, or culture or customs. The stuff you see on the internet and on TV is just pulled from a bunch of different Latin American countries and rebranded as Mexican. The actual land itself is just used by different governments to conduct highly illegal and unethical human rights violations without having to answer to any jurisdiction.
You know and I know this is all a bunch of BS,
but it just goes to show you how easy it is to create and perpetuate a conspiracy theory. All you have to do is dismiss and rationalize the counter-evidence, and you can keep going on and on and on with the nonsense. You don't even need to prove anything. All it takes is to deny everything that doesn't fit the narrative, and then invent a reason why someone would say something like that. Doesn't have to be remotely accurate, it just has to create a motive.
People are pretty good at thinking about the world in terms of cause-and-effect. It's so deeply ingrained into us that we'll create reasons even when we have no clue what actually happened. If we see a car accident, our mind might think it was a drunk driver. If we hear a cellphone ringing, we might assume it's ours. If we feel something on our legs, the assumption might be that it's an insect or spider. A lot of minds are programmed to jump to conclusions even when there's nowhere near enough evidence to be sure. Some people just can't handle ambiguity and need to find an explanation for the unknown
