Mexico President Suggests US Citizenship for Planting Trees

In remarks at the White House virtual climate summit, Lopez Obrador said that Mexico aimed to expand his administration's signature "Sembrando Vida," or "Sowing Life," program to Central America, which he said is planting 700,000 trees.

Calling it "possibly the largest reforestation effort in the world," Lopez Obrador said the program aims to create 1.2 million jobs and plant an additional 3 billion trees through expansion into southeastern Mexico and Central America.

Lopez Obrador said U.S. President Joe Biden "could finance" the program's extension to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

"I add a complementary proposal, with all due respect, the U.S. government could offer those who participate in this program that after sowing their lands for three consecutive years, they would have the possibility to obtain a temporary work visa," Lopez Obrador said.

"And after another three or four years, they could obtain residency in the United States or dual nationality," he added

How about we give them a sapling as we deport them and they can put down roots in Mexico.

Or maybe we just catapult trees at them when they try to cross the border. And taunt them.

I could get on board with this, if they had to be planted on Mars.

Day laborers would be citizens countless times over in that case. Lots of gardeners in that group of people.

Needs to keep his burrito-hole shut about what the US should do and we’ll do the same about his caca-hole country.

He wants U.S. to finance tree planting in Mexico and Central America and then bring in the tree planters as citizens.

That whole summit was nothing but world leaders taking advantage of Biden’s dumb delusions, ruining our economy and handing out money to them.

Q. How many trees are planted each year?
A. Last year, more than 2.3 billion seedlings
were planted in the U.S. by the forestry community.

Q. Who plants those trees?
A. Of those 2.3 billion seedlings, nearly 55 percent
were planted by the forest products industry.
Tree farmers and other non-industrial private landowners
planted another 28 percent of the total.
The rest were planted by federal, state and local agencies.
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Oregon and
Washington are the leading tree-planting states,
in that order.
