On March 28th, a wild video just dropped from the U.S. Embassy in Mexico using AI to show tattooed guys in Blackcaps singing a traditional corridor. Ballad. They're urging migrants in the U.S. to self-deport, crooning about returning to your roots where Mexican power really lies, with a link to a government, site for heading home. Posted on the Embassy's official social media this week, it blew up fast across Mexican news outlets. Online reactions hit hard, without rage. Folks calling it a pathetic ad, wrapped in supremacist vibes, even suggesting U.S. retirees spin their cash back. Home, instead. One big TikTok influencer, with over 14 million followers, slammed it as ridiculous. And his reaction clip racked up 70,000 views quick. This ain't the first controversy like this. Last year, the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary ran similar self-deport ads on Mexican TV. Mexico's president called them discriminatory, and pushed for a new law to block foreign

governments from that kind of propaganda here. Tensions keep simmering on both sides of the border.
