Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said in a planned phone call on Monday with Vice President Kamala Harris he would urge the United States to reopen the two countries' shared southern border "completely."
The pair of leaders would also, hopefully, discuss migration and new COVID-19 vaccine donations from the U.S., AMLO said. “I have a call today with Vice President Kamala Harris. We are going to give continuity to the agenda that we have in common on migration issues, of course, the issue of opening the border, the support that they have been giving us, and that we thank you very much for having enough vaccines in our country," AMLO said in a press conference in Ciudad Juarez, south of El Paso, Texas.
Coronavirus cases have spiked in the U.S. and Mexico as new, more transmissible variants continue to spread. A White House official confirmed the call between Harris and AMLO but did not say whether Harris planned to discuss a new shipment of vaccinations with the Mexican leader. The U.S. government provided 1.35 billion Johnson & Johnson vaccines to Mexico in June, which health authorities vowed to use to vaccinate people living in border states.
"Today, Vice President Harris will speak with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of Mexico. Following the call, the office of the vice president will provide a readout," the official said in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner. Mexican officials have urged Washington to reopen the border as soon as possible to allow business to resume between the two countries. But high coronavirus rates have delayed the prospect. Border crossings deemed nonessential have been off-limits since March 2020.

Fu pendejo is right. We wont forget what youre trying to do
Everyone is watching Joe.
Be careful and watch the other hand too.
Harris? Oh, that’s right, she’s the Vice President, and she’s like “in charge of the border” or something. Easy to forget since she’s completely useless. Where are they hiding her these days?
Someday, mexico should be made to pay for this.
He may be talking about legal and commercial crossings. The border has already been open to illegals for months. I don’t know what the story is with people who try to cross legally.
Look on the bright side...
At least the US would still be protected from undocumented migratory Canadians!
You really think she’ll want to take the responsibly ,LOL
Same way Chinese needs to pay for Covid 19
Should have kept that country.
Would have been less problems by now.
Harris knows about opening up
Free tequila and chips with salsa in Mexico!
What a deal. Mexico sends us COVID infected people and we send them COVID vaccine. Good job Harris.
I see what you did there! ;-)
