Demands $20 billion a year, amnesty, sanctions lifted
The president of Mexico, in an interview, has confirmed what essentially appears to be his attempt to blackmail the United States into paying billions of dollars, or else the “flow of migrants will continue.”
A report at Fox News reveals that Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador earlier demanded a series of actions by the United States in order for him to try to cut off some of the millions of illegal aliens coming from Mexico into the United States across its southern border.
Then just days ago, he said in an appearance on 60 Minutes that if the U.S. fails to meet his demands, “The flow of migrants will continue.”
The report said Obrador, in recent weeks, has demanded that the U.S. give $20 billion a year to Latin American nations, lift sanctions on Venezuela, end the Cuban embargo and give legal status in America to the millions of Mexicans who already have entered illegally.
Fox reported that the original demands, which have been described by critics “blackmail,” came in January when he made the demands regarding billions in cash, amnesty and more.
“Mexico has reportedly taken some state-level action to curb mass migration at President Biden’s request, making crossings drop, however, the number of migrants began to rise again in February, with Border Patrol expecting another surge in the spring,” the report said.
Interviewer Sharyn Alfonsi asked, “Everybody thinks you have the power in this moment to slow down migration. Do you plan to?”
He responded that the “root causes” must be addressed.
“Your critics have said what you’re doing, what you’re asking for to help secure the border, is diplomatic blackmail. What do you say?” Alfonsi asked.
He later seemed to contradict himself, confirming that even if those things don’t happen, he will continue to try to help secure the border because the relationship between the nations is important.
Is national blackmail a form of terrorism?
Is terrorism punishable by death?
Hey, AMLO. Bust the cartels and imprison their leaders. Or else the US will close the border entirely to any goods or non-US citizens from Mexico. You have a week.
They must leave where they entered
I hope Musk reads this extortion scheme...and takes all his business out of Mexico.
BS....Labrador is not going to give up the billions in remittances illegals here send back to him.
Plus US foreign aid in the billions-—link.
SAN DIEGO (Border Report—Feb 8, 2024)
More than $63 billion in remittances were sent to Mexico in 2023,
with most of the money arriving from the US, according to
Banxico, Mexico’s central bank.
The figure is a 7% hike from the previous year.

Yes
Obrador knows what a useless person Biden is, and he’s trying
to make hay while the Sun shines.
Biden will show how strong he is by not acceding to the blackmail. He’s so tough he’ll just accept the increasing number of invaders, which is what he really wants anyway.
Likely...
Gee….Joe is so respected by our “allies.”
Or pirhanas.
‘’he responded that the “root causes” must be addressed.’
Hey! That just what Kamala says! She was appointed to deal with “root causes” over three years ago. I wonder how she’s doing. Somehow I missed her report to the nation on that topic

I’m so embarrassed. A Messican thief doing the Mexican Hat dance all over the President of the United States’ ass.
And if we *pay up*, nothing will change.
Deport ALL illegals, no matter how long they have been here.
From Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates:
Captain Bainbridge remarked, his resolve firm, “I hope I shall never again be sent to Algiers with tribute, unless I am authorized to deliver it from the mouth of our cannon.
Why are we waiting to take out those Breakfast Tacos on the other side of the border? MEXICO IS NOT A FRIEND OF AMERICA. They are out to help Jo Pedo rip America apart.
