Mexican President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador issued a lengthy series of demands detailing what the U.S. must offer in exchange for Mexico’s help in stemming the flow of migrants to the U.S.-Mexico border. In other words, Obrador is extorting money and deals from the US. Biden has already said we’ll have to accept some of his demands. When President Trump was in office, he told Obrador what he would lose if he didn’t cooperate.
He wants the US to give billions to Narco countries, including his.
Lopez Obrador’s demands came during a Friday press conference roughly a week after meeting with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Mexico City in late December.
The U.S. officials requested that Mexico boost its assistance in stopping illegal immigration.
Lopez Obrador responded by demanding the U.S. give $20 billion to Latin American and Caribbean countries, grant work visas to ten million Hispanics who have worked in the U.S. for at least ten years, end sanctions against Venezuela, and halt the blockade of Cuba.
‘We are going to help, as we always do,’ López Obrador said in a Friday speech. ‘Mexico is helping reach agreements with other countries, in this case Venezuela,’ he said before pivoting to his wish list.
The negotiations come at a critical time for President Biden, whose polling numbers on illegal immigration have been low throughout his presidency. The U.S. also suffered a surge of migrants at the border this fall, with roughly 240,000 monthly migrant encounters at the border in late 2023, reports Fox News.
Biden said they’d have to meet some of their demands, but they don’t. We could threaten them back with loss of funding, sanctions, and labeling cartels terrorists, but Biden would rather spend more money we don’t have.

When Trump was president, Mexico paid the price.
AMLO was kicking sand in the Obiden Junta’s face and having a big laugh. Anyway, he’s gone into retirement in a few months and he wants to score points with his clique of Leftist followers. Trump will have a new Mexican government to deal with in 2025, and I am certain he will win by threatening to turn off the flow of dollars into Mexico’s economy.
Be easier and a-lot cheaper to put the money into a boarder wall security system. with automatic weapons set to stun or kill intruders that try to cross through. They’d get the picture real fast.
He seems to be completely oblivious to his own counties problems with illegal immigration.. We will solve our countries manufactured problems. He will still be holding the bag of shit that he let happen, and that are his countries problems.
