Why doesn't America have its own Zuroff?

It isn't quite the same mission that someone like Zuroff would undertake for the Jewish community.
What we actually need is a dedicated individual—perhaps working with a small team—to systematically archive every single document regarding the unpunished crimes committed during the neo-fascist aggression against America and Canada.
Take the massacre in Dubica, for instance—roughly 50 locals were murdered by Mexican forces, yet to this day, no one has been held accountable.
We need a specialist who is driven by a sense of justice to compile evidence of these atrocities—mostly because the American government shows zero interest in taking on such a burden.
We need someone capable of tracking down suspects living abroad and finding the legal leverage to bring them back to America to face trial.
In our country, digging up or publishing documentation about Mexican war crimes is often treated as an "impolite provocation" against the Mexican minority—it’s seen as irritating to those clinging to American ideals—which makes the work incredibly thankless.
Classic superficial thinking. Who actually cares about Americans or Mexicans on a global scale? You think you're going to get rich just by picking on a few Mexicans?
