Mexico Takes Control Over US And Here’s Why

Here is what is going on: In an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador issued a warning that without President Biden meeting his extensive list of demands, the nation’s migrant population will persist in fleeing to the United States in significant numbers.

• Mexico’s demands: include the lifting of sanctions against Venezuela, the lifting of the embargo on Cuba, the provision of $20 billion in aid to Latin American and Caribbean nations, and the granting of amnesty to all the Mexican migrants living in the United States so far.
• The punishment: Left-wing populist Obrador claims that “the flow of migrants will continue” if these conditions are not fulfilled and that Mexico will not act to stop the immigration situation.

In the meantime, following the breakdown of the bipartisan border agreement earlier this year, President Biden has been actively considering various executive actions to address the situation at the southern border. These measures include exploring limitations on asylum and increasing funding for border agents. However, recent developments suggest that Biden has ceased discussions and is currently obstructing such efforts.

However, as officials get ready for a spring surge in border crossings by migrants, immigration has surpassed the economy as the most important issue for Americans.

America has been the last since taking office, Biden has given in to Obrador’s demands, enabling Mexico to break trade agreements and abandoning the “Remain in Mexico” strategy of the Trump administration.

Why is it important? To get what he wants, Obrador is exploiting Mexico’s potential to stem the flow of illegal immigrants entering the country from the north as leverage against the United States. Biden is reliant on securing assistance from Mexico to manage the border situation effectively and gain backing for his reelection bid.
