Republicans have frequently criticized Joe Biden over the ongoing border crisis. For years, the administration has suggested that migrant numbers are “normal.” They have also claimed the border is under control.
But numerous reports have contradicted the White House’s claims. And now, as Biden nears a very tough re-election battle, he has been forced to do something about the situation.
Biden officials recently traveled to Mexico to seemingly beg its government to start enforcing the border on their side. Now, the Mexican president is willing to help, but only if Biden does the unthinkable.
Government officials from both nations have said that Mexico also has its own list of desired actions for the United States, including for it to grant amnesty to at least 10 million Hispanic illegal immigrants.
Under the Biden administration, records for illegal crossings have been repeatedly broken since the beginning of his term. The record for the most illegal immigrant crossings seen at the southern border of all time, for instance, was set yet again just last month…
López Obrador called on Friday for the US to approve an initiative that would send $20 billion to Latin American and Caribbean countries in addition to stopping any sanctions against Venezuela, ending the US blockade of Cuba, and giving at least 10 million Hispanic illegal immigrants the ability to stay in the country and work legally.

The president of Mexico is making a huge demand of the United States to help with the border crisis. He wants $20 billion sent to countries currently allowing their citizens to illegally enter the country. On top of that, he is demanding America grant amnesty to 10 million migrants who crossed into the country during Biden’s administration.
This request will be met with scorn by many Americans, including Republican leaders. Many of these nations have refused to do anything to stop their people from coming to America. Yet they are now demanding, through López Obrador, for billions.
Critics will call this shakedown money. On top of that, Latin American countries want Biden to allow the 10 million or so illegals that have entered the right to stay and work in America—even as the country struggles to house and feed them.
During Trump’s administration, Mexico worked to secure the border. Yet today, it seems like the country is walking all over the U.S.
Biden is going to great lengths to “fix” the border crisis. Yet the one thing that would end it today—deporting and sending back migrants—he refuses to do.
It is highly unlikely that Congress will approve López Obrador’s demand.
