Mexican President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador blamed President Joe Biden’s immigration policies for the crisis at the southern border during a Tuesday press conference.
“Expectations were created that with the Government of President Biden there would be better treatment of migrants,” Lopez Obrador said. “And this has caused Central American migrants, and also from our country, wanting to cross the border thinking that it is easier to do so.”

“People don’t go to the United States for fun, they go out of necessity,” Lopez Obrador said, according to Reuters.
Biden sent an envoy to the region to address the surge at the border, with Mexico’s Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard saying there needs to be “humanitarian actions” that promote economic development to address the root causes of migration from Central America to the U.S., according to Reuters.
Biden’s administration, however, has blamed the Trump administration for the crisis at the border despite rolling back Trump-era policies meant to curb illegal immigration.
Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas blamed the Trump administration Sunday while speaking on CNN’s State of the Union, according to The Hill.
“There was a system in place in both Republican and Democratic administrations, that was torn down during the Trump administration, and that is why the challenge is more acute than it ever has been before.”
“We are rebuilding the orderly systems that the Trump administration tore down to avoid the need for these children to actually take the perilous journey,” he said.
Biden halted construction of the border wall, placed a 100-day moratorium on deportations and ended Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy.
Biden has since suggested his administration would be re-establishing the “Remain in Mexico” policy, which forces migrants seeking asylum to remain in Mexico while their asylum claims were processed.
Since Biden took office, a large influx of migrants, including unaccompanied children, have arrived at the border and overwhelmed facilities.
“Build back better”
Well duh....kudos to Mexican prez for daring to speak the truth in this climate of rat lies and political propaganda...
Biden/Harris did far worse than merely creating expectations.
The regime took active steps to undermine border security.
OLD NEWS
“ Only 60 days in office and he’s managed to totally piss off Russia, China, North Korea, Canada and Mexico.................”
Yeah, but France and Germany now love us, and those are the only two countries who’s opinion equals “world opinion” and matters
Captain Obvious now President of Mexico!
Biden/Harris did far worse than merely creating expectations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They put out the welcome mat and Republicans like Flimsey Grahamnesty promised them amnesty.
Both parties wanted to get the influx going again after Trump had slowed it to a trickle.
This IS why both parties cooperated to cheat Trump out.
Nice grade-school level alliteration in Build Back Better, but does anyone know what it actually means? Build what? Back from what or where? Better than what?
TRUMP/AMLO 2024...lol
Dont be so judgmental (/s)....you're just not use to all this Biden "humanity"...........ROTFLOL.
You mean like “EXPECTATIONS” of free handouts, free health care, lavish hotel rooms, covid relief checks? That sort of thing??
Even Democrats in the majority always poll strongly against open borders. The simple fact of the matter is that if Democrat politicians saw the incoming illegals as a harvest of new Republican voters rather than Democrat voters, that border would be closed tighter than a drum and their media allies would be running narratives about “illegal” invasions every day.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS.........................
He’s right.

This isn't Washington's fault, much as though Biden HAS screwed things up royally. This is entirely the fault of the Mexican government and the Mexican people for the state of affairs their country is in. The success of the United States is not the reason for the failure of Mexico and Central and South America. These people are slothful, lazy, racist, criminally prone and violent. Until Mexicans and Central Americans are able or willing to demand change or make changes to improve their governments accountability and demand better lives for themselves then this situation along the border, and more over their miserable circumstances will continue.
The last thing Mexico wants is to have to manage swarms of vermin from points south. The US is a great attractive nuisance to them, and AMLO was most likely grateful for Trump’s no nonsense approach. He certainly cooperate fully enough. Now he is stuck with a feeble minded idiot recreating the headaches of the Obama era.
