Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has spelled out a series of demands from the U.S. ranging from visas to a multi-billion infusion of funds – even as the Biden administration seeks to pressure Mexico to do more on its part to address the migrant crisis.

He wants the U.S. to deploy $20 billion plan to help Mexico and Central American countries dealing with the root causes of migration – while also calling for wholesale changes in U.S.-Cuba policy.

We also want something done about the (U.S.) differences with Cuba,' López Obrador said. 'We have already proposed to President Biden that a U.S.-Cuba bilateral dialogue be opened,' he said in remarks at a Friday press conference.

Lopez Obrador also said he wants the U.S. to provide visas to at least 10 million Hispanic migrants who have been living in the U.S. for 10 years or longer.

His long list of demands come even as the Biden administration is asking Mexico to do more, as a surge of migrants continue to flow across the border. It also comes at a time when the Biden administration needs to show progress on the issue while getting hammered by Republican rivals and even some prominent Democratic mayors on the costs and social impacts of the surge.

Border encounters hit another stunning milestone in December with 300,000
apprehensions.

It is long past time that we tell Mexico to go frick itself.

What a shithole country that has never once had effective governance in its entire history.

How about "no", though I'm sure Biden will send the money as soon as he is promised his 10%.

Biden's border policy has been a big problem for Mexico.
Millions of people passing through your country aint easy to deal with.

Let me guess...he wants MONEY!!!

The Capitalist system motivates people to be creative, innovative and productive, in hopes of gaining relative affluence. Like the Ruling Elites always have. Albeit though not without pitfalls (grifters like Bidens, Pelosi, McConnel, et al who game the system), it has still raised the standard of worldly affluence and the leisure time to pursue one's interest as no other system has or can. Spiritual or Worldly.

The worst two of the said 'pitfalls' is that Worldliness may overcome Spirituality, I.e. in that "the pursuit of happiness" is a spiritual condition. "Man doth not live by bread (or money and power) alone...". And "the love of money is the root of all evil"; of course, depending on what the money is used for. Money is like a gun, good or bad according to how it is applied.

And the second (that the Marxists deem immoral) is that the creation of a relatively affluent Middle Class of productive people competing and keeping the fruits of their labors as opposed to having it confiscated and divided up amongst those who slack, by default creates a Lower Class. The Lord said that "the poor will be with you always". There will always be those who seek to slack and cheat on live of the labor of others. Again, think Bidens at the fore. All people in 'Heaven' will not be equal. Equality is fool's gold. Albeit empathy and compassion are not.

Obrador will pay dearly if/when Trump goes back in. Obrador IS "the root cause of migration". His government and country is a narc-state. He should own that before making excuses and demands.

Whats worse


Trump not making Mexico pay a few billion for the wall.



Or Mexico making Biden give them cash.









Also - didn’t Kamala get to the root cause of immigration like 4 years ago. She is the border Czar after all.

Post 1000 special forces on the border and eliminate all cartel members/activity and see how he responds. If he praises the efforts he is friendly to our interests. If he has a problem with it then we know he is just a cartel lackey. Win/win.

If I was the Mexican president I would work the illegitimate regime for as much money as possible. The Mexican president sees the illegitimate regime wasting hundreds of billions of dollars every year, they want some of the action.

Two words for him & the cartels:

DRONE STRIKES

Precision strikes on cartel strongholds.

When Trump comes into the office - not only finish the Wall, but add manned tower posts every couple of miles —

Also, implement ground sensors for tunneling, and if need be, motion activated mini-guns —- for objects larger than a child
