Mexican president says he’ll fight Texas migrant crossing law
The Hill ^ | 12/19/2023 | NICK ROBERTSON

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador pledged to fight a new Texas law allowing state authorities to prosecute migrants entering the U.S. from Mexico.

Border issues previously were left to federal authorities, but the inclusion of state and local police contributes to rising tensions between Mexico and the U.S. as Congress struggles to negotiate border security policy.

“The foreign ministry is already working on the process to challenge this law,” López Obrador said Tuesday, Reuters reported.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) “wants to win popularity with these measures, but he’s not going to win anything, but he’ll lose favor, because in Texas there are so many Mexicans and migrants,” he added.

“ The American people have no idea about this.”

The American people have no idea about anything of real importance. That’s the way our fascist government wants it.

The Mexican army crossed into TX in 2011. A lark or not, not a blessed thing was done about it. Mexico laughed at us. The world is having big belly laughs at the US today.

A decade ago, McDonald’s had the drive thru menu in Spanish. Thankfully, enough customers complained so it was put back into English.

Before that, HEB, a Texas owned grocery chain with operations in Mexico, put half the label on foods in Spanish. Front/back label in English and back/front/whichever in Spanish, not just the ingredient list in Spanish. Don’t know if they still do since I dumped their Butts.

Mexico let’s any and everyone come into the country. Most of the border crosses ain’t Mexican. Put that in your pipe.

Vacation with the ex awakened me years ago.Hairy armpit euro chick’s and night shirt wearing muzz in the Yucatan showed me what was coming. Alot of chicom as well.

I imagine he’s a crook. But for the record, it’s none of his business what laws Texas passes. He likes us to take in illegal aliens; it brings money into his country. If people die or cartels wreak havoc with us, it’s no skin off his nose. Or so he thinks...

Mexico doesn’t allow people to cross their borders illegally. They give them papers, allowing them time to get from their southern border to their northern border. Then Biden lets them into the USA, giving them papers to make them legal again, supposedly to show up for an immigration hearing in the future.

It is beyond disgusting and our media will not show video of the hordes coming across. The propaganda media probably does show Biden’s people testifying in Congress that the borders are under control

“Border issues previously were left to federal authorities, but the inclusion of state and local police contributes to rising tensions between Mexico and the U.S. as Congress struggles to negotiate border security policy.”

On Capital Hill, Democrats negotiate knowing they will never follow the laws they agree to in any compromise. These laws are merely placeholders selectively enforced according to their latest political whims.

Democrats love to talk about no one being above the law. But, in practice, they are utterly lawless.
