The United States and Mexico plan to “clamp down” on illegal border crossings, both leaders said on Monday, according to a report from Reuters.
Reportedly, in a phone conversation, President Joe Biden and President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said that their administrations will take steps to stop illegal border crossings.
"In the short term, the two leaders ordered their national security teams to work together to immediately implement concrete measures to significantly reduce irregular border crossings while protecting human rights," the leaders said in a joint statement.
“President Biden and President López Obrador also pledged to advance initiatives to address the root causes of migration throughout the Western Hemisphere, noting that increasing shared prosperity and security will be of critical importance in effectively addressing the migration challenge over the longer term,” the statement added.
Reuters noted that U.S. Border Patrol caught a monthly record of 250,000 illegal aliens in December. Since then, numbers have reportedly dropped (via Reuters):
Lopez Obrador attributed the reduced arrivals at the U.S.-Mexico border in part to social programs Mexico has backed in other Latin American countries from where migrants originate.
U.S. and Mexican officials have cited increased enforcement by Mexico as a factor contributing to the decrease in crossings.
Since Biden took office, illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border have skyrocketed. As a result, criminals from other countries have entered the United States. In some cases, they’ve committed crimes in the states, as well.
In one high-profile case, an American college student named Laken Riley was murdered while out on a run in Georgia, which Townhall reported. The suspect arrested in connection with her murder is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela.
This month, Townhall covered how an illegal alien charged with “a myriad” of sex crimes, including sex crimes against children, was arrested in Massachusetts. A few weeks prior, ERO Boston arrested a 51-year-old Brazilian fugitive wanted for rape who was in the United States unlawfully. In Michigan, an illegal immigrant was accused of killing a 25-year-old woman in a carjacking attempt and leaving her on the side of a highway.
In February, an illegal alien from Honduras was arrested in Louisiana in connection with the rape of a 14-year-old girl and the stabbing of a man during a knifepoint robbery. In December, Townhall covered how an illegal immigrant from Nicaragua who was deported from the United States five times was sentenced to 19 years in prison for raping a woman in Ohio.
Almost fell for it, but this of course has to be the Bee.
Translation: This is an election year
Mexico realizes they’ll have Trump to deal with
Sounds a bit like the Menendez boys killing their folks and then using the “we’re orphans” mitigation in sentencing.
Whew! Finally huh? What a fraekin’ joke. I ain’t laughin’.
After almost 4 years of an open border resulting in terrorists, the CCP, drug cartel members, psychologically disturbed people and criminals from all jails south of the border being dumped in the USA??
After all of the deaths that have occurred as a result with more to come?
TOO LATE JOBAMA!
Biden is such a dope. When will he priortize and protect American interests from these sleazebags?
Just recently, Mexican president Obrador was asked on talk tv, what would happen if the US were to refuse Mexico’s blackmail threats demanding the US, at once, give $20 billion to him and his greedy cohorts?
Obrador abruptly snapped:
“The flow of migrants will continue” - a stark unequivocal admission that he, Obrador himself
(in cahoots w/ vote-crazed Biden), has the power to to control illegals pouring into the U.S.
This is what’s driving the Mexican greedster. He figures its worth the risk........the more migrants they push in here means more remittances back to Mexico.How much in remittances alone does Mexico receive from the US?
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.
Not to mention the billions in foreign aid the US
consistently rains down on Mexico and Central America.
Bingo!
Too little, too late.
Too late, no votes. A murderer can’t avoid prison by claiming that he has decided not to murder anymore.
and Trump will force them to take them back.
Concrete and steel, and about 30 feet tall, I hope. With plenty of razor wire too.
...SNORE....
There are upwards of 40+ million in the U.S. illegally. But now the lying globalist elite say they’ll crackdown?
Hard to believe there are those stupid enough to continue to buy what these lying frauds are peddling.
Yeah, right!
Goody. Now Biden and the media can proclaim Biden is the toughest border president in history. From “republicans failed to secure the border” with his millions and millions coming in yearly, to “we had the biggest drop of illegal border crossings” just in time for the election. Never mind the 100s of thousands he is bringing in on secret flights.

Phony baloney. The horse left the barn, found a herd of horses, colts were born, and there’s a huge herd of wild horses that can never fit in the barn.
