Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador said on Wednesday that sent a letter to his American colleague Joe Bidenacknowledge and thank the immigration policy pursued by your government.
“I just sent a letter to President Bidenand I am grateful to him for the two decisions he made,” the president said at a morning press conference.
The Mexican ruler said one of those decisions was to open a legal route for migrants “because it didn’t exist,” referring to CBP One’s announcement of asylum and visas for citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
“Now migrants from brotherly countries can undergo the procedure and to get to the USA in a legal way, which was not there, there was only an opportunity, an option, to start walking, to take all the risks in order to get to the USA, ”he said.
The second solution, he announced, was that he was the only president of the United States who had not built a wall “in decades”.
“Not to mention act like the governor of Texas (Republican Greg Abbott) who placed buoys and barbed wire,” he said, insisting that the action was “inhuman and a violation of human rights.”
Likewise, he emphasized good relations with the United States, a country with which his administration seeks to help in the immigration matter “and in all matters.”
However, he said that while this legal route to the US already exists, America lacks a plan to fight poverty because migration is “not by choice, but by necessity.”
considered a “moral duty” that countries with great economic opportunities help poor countries to streamline the migration flow “so that it does not overflow.”
He affirmed that this could be achieved with investment, opportunities and work in Latin America and the Caribbean, but stressed that the help of the great powers was needed.
He even recalled that he offered the UN a fund to help the poor in the world and said that this should be one of the tasks of an international organization.
“This is one of the reforms that the UN is demanding because it is already an ossified body.well, they didn’t even pay attention to him, or he showed a clear power initiative to achieve peace in the war in Russia and Ukraine, they do nothing, ”he criticized.
The region is experiencing an unprecedented migration flow, with more than 2.76 million undocumented migrants intercepted by the United States at the border with Mexico during fiscal year 2022.
For its part, Mexico registered an annual increase of more than 43% in the number of “irregulars” in the country last year, when authorities detected 444,439 migrants.
