Mexico’s president holds the United States hostage to an immigration crisis he helped worsen, forcing the Biden administration to legalize people in the U.S., support some Latin American dictatorships and pay billions in aid. It is used as a means to do so.
Breitbart Texas reported on this diplomatic blackmail and how Mexico used immigration authorities to facilitate and sometimes slow the flow of migrants. But Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador detailed his own plans in an interview on 60 Minutes.
The Mexican President’s proposals to stop immigration include:
– The US pumps $20 billion a year into poor countries in Latin America and the Caribbean
・Lift sanctions against Venezuela
-End the Cuban embargo
-Legalize law-abiding Mexicans living in the United States pic.twitter.com/rmJ1j78SxQ— 60 minutes (@60Minutes) March 24, 2024
In that controversial interview, López Obrador said the U.S. government would lift sanctions on Venezuela, end the trade embargo with Cuba, send $20 billion a year to Latin American countries and legalize the country. He said the United States would help resolve the ongoing border crisis if the United States provided a path to the border crisis. Millions of Mexicans are already in the United States.
Asked about his diplomatic coercion, López Obrador said he was straightforward and said what needed to be said and done.
What CBS failed to report is that López Obrador’s own policies are fueling the current immigration crisis. As Breitbart Texas reported, during AMLO’s administration, the politician used his immigration agency, the National Immigration Institute, to provide migrants with travel permits that would allow them to move freely through Mexico. These permits effectively give migrants at least 30 days to cross the border illegally, apply for asylum, and travel north to the U.S. border.
López Obrador claimed the measure was taken to end the migrant caravan. Additionally, INM and federal police escort migrants from southern Mexico to join various caravans heading to Mexico City, rather than interdict them.
In some cases, government authorities used passenger buses to move migrant caravans from southern states to the northern states of Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas, Breitbart Texas reported.
