Biden is asking for Mexican help to stop the record surge of migrants. Here's what Mexico wants in return.

The Biden administration is increasingly leaning on Mexico to curb the record flow of migrants crossing into the U.S., but Mexico has its own lists of ambitious asks for the U.S., say officials from both governments familiar with the discussions.

In a press conference on Friday, López Obrador called on the U.S. to approve a plan that would deploy $20 billion to Latin American and Caribbean countries, suspend the U.S. blockade of Cuba, remove all sanctions against Venezuela and grant at least 10 million Hispanics living in the U.S. the right to remain and work legally.

Responding to those requests, a senior Biden administration official told NBC News that AMLO, as López Obrador is commonly called, “has a very ambitious agenda. For some of these things, we would need Congress to act. We share the vision that we need to lift up the region.”

“Biden shares the vision that we need to lift up the region.”

That used to be called nation building.

Our immigration scheme is nation destroying and it’s us that are being destroyed.

I like the 10,000,000 visas. First every illegal MUST go back to their home countries and apply through legal channels. Once that is done and the border is secure, we would be more than happy to admit families into the US legally.

When Trump imposed the “Remain in Mexico” policy, he gave Mexico no real say in the matter. And why should we give them a say now? Close the border, tell anyone with legitimate claims of asylum to apply in Mexico, or their home state. I think the US approved just a handful of the first 10,000 asylum application during “remain in Mexico”, and many began returning home rather than live in refugee camps waiting to be told NO.

I have NO doubt that amnesty will be Passed before Jan. 21, 2025. I also suspect that Trump may not be around to see it.

It's THAT bad, right now, in the former USA.

Waited for 3 years to do it just an election ploy for pity.

Biden's handlers must have told López Obrador what to ask for.

“Biden’s immigration scheme is nation destroying ...”

I think the general public is paying more attention to our open borders. I hope it will become the number one election issue, and I hope the general public will want to know why it’s been allowed to happen, or you might say orchestrated.

And who has orchestrated it and how will they gain while the rest of us are losing.
