The last time we checked on El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, not only had he agreed to take back Salvadoran criminal illegal aliens, but also those from any country…plus violent Americans.

Legal Insurrection readers may recall my previous report on Bukele, which stated that he would open up the country to mining.

According to Bukele, El Salvador may be sitting on unmined gold reserves worth an estimated $3 trillion, approximately 8,800% of the nation’s current GDP.  In a series of posts on social media platform X, Bukele projected that the country potentially has “the largest gold deposits per square kilometer in the world.”

That was approximately one month ago.  Since then, eco-activist agitators have organized massive protests against this economically sensible move.  Here is a sample of that insanity from an “environmental NGO“:

“It’s an absolutely disastrous decision,” said Luis González, advocacy director for the Salvadoran Ecological Unit, an environmental NGO. “[The mining ban] was established after years of struggle, but also because it was technically and scientifically proven that mining is an unviable activity in Salvadoran territory due to the environmental, water and population conditions.”..
