Rep. Troy Niels (R-Texas) introduced a resolution Tuesday condemning comments by Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador (AMLO). 60 minutes Breitbart News first learned about the call for the Mexican government to limit illegal immigration on March 24, 2024.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López called on the Biden administration to “work to stem the flow of migrants.” Obrador said 60 minutes in Broadcast on March 24thAs Breitbart News extensively reported. But Obrador said that unless Biden cooperates with Mexico’s ambitions, “the flow of migrants will continue.”
Those ambitions are explained as follows: 60 minutesteeth:
…The United States will provide $20 billion a year to four countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, lift sanctions on Venezuela and an embargo on Cuba, and legalize the embargo on Cuba. [amnesty] Millions of law-abiding Mexicans live in the United States.
“I’m speaking frankly,” Obrador said. 60 minutes. “You have to say things like they are, and I always say what I feel. I always say what I think.”

“The Mexican President’s comments are reprehensible and amount to a diplomatic threat,” the Texas congressman said in a statement to Breitbart. “To alleviate illegal immigration, Mexico should secure its borders, reimplement President Trump’s successful ‘remain in Mexico’ policy, and establish a safe third country agreement with the United States.”
Mr. Nehls and many other Republicans have relentlessly criticized Mr. Biden and his border policies, even impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in February.
But as AMLO’s comments make clear, instead of pursuing the policies that the Trump administration succeeded in curbing illegal immigration (which the Biden administration began dismantling within hours of taking office), Biden They are planning to outsource border security to the Mexican government. And he is willing to make significant concessions to do so at the expense of American taxpayers.
By secretly orchestrating his plan, Biden is seeking to avoid the wrath of both his left-wing base and wealthy donors who support free immigration, while also reassuring independent voters who remain concerned about the immigration crisis. The unprecedented amount of border crossings has been slightly reduced. .
Amid panic as an election year approaches, the Biden administration ordered Mexico in December, the month AMLO let a record deluge of 251,000 illegal immigrants cross the U.S. border, far from official border gates. However, he called on Mexico to reduce the flow of illegal immigrants north during the election period. 2024 is an election year.

AMLO suddenly cut illegal immigration by 50 percent in January after the Biden administration quickly agreed to his terms.
Nehls supported House-passed H.R. 2, which would restore many of President Trump’s border and immigration policies, including those he called for in the resolution, and accused Biden of colluding with the Mexican president instead of doing his duty. criticized.
“When did the United States start responding to foreign ‘demands’?” asked Nehls. “I’ll tell you when Joe Biden becomes president. This is completely unacceptable.”
