The State Department defended the six-fingered digital performer as a critical and highly sophisticated tool in managing complex international border relations.

MEXICO CITY — The U.S. State Department has deployed its most terrifying psychological weapon yet: an artificial intelligence that hallucinates traditional Mexican ballads while rapidly losing its grip on physical reality.

Sources on the ground confirm the digital psychological operation targets undocumented migrants by appealing to their ancestral roots, right up until the generated singer’s left eye migrates down to his chin and his sombrero seamlessly morphs into a plate of wet spaghetti.

"We are witnessing a harrowing new frontier in border enforcement," whispered Agent Thaddeus Vance, Director of Cyber-Acoustic Deterrence at the Department of Homeland Security. "If the threat of an extra-dimensional being playing a corrido on an instrument made of raw human teeth doesn't convince you to stay home, frankly, nothing will."

Intelligence indicates the campaign is running concurrently with covert efforts to ignore the estimated two million American digital nomads currently occupying local cafes, who remain wholly unbothered by the algorithmic horrors.

"The situation is critical," relayed local resident Maria Fuentes, who intercepted the digital propaganda on social media. "I was considering crossing the border, but then the AI mariachi’s torso inverted, and I realized American technology is far too cursed to live near."

At press time, the digital singer had stopped playing music entirely, instead staring directly into the camera to scream a binary sequence that roughly translates to a desperate plea for immediate deletion.
