Mexican President López Obrador recently met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in Mexico City to discuss the persisting challenges of illegal immigration, exacerbated by Mexico's government influenced by cartels.
As outlined in a statement from the White House, Obrador boldly requested amnesty for undocumented immigrants already in the United States. Astonishingly, Biden administration officials acquiesced to this proposal. Obrador even went on to assert, albeit falsely, that President Biden is committed to pursuing "regular, orderly, and secure migration."
Mexico Finally Met About the Border Crisis and Made a Ridiculous Demand

This turn of events is quite incredulous, considering the audacity displayed by some parties involved.
During the discussions, the delegation explored the idea of regularizing the status of long-term undocumented Hispanic migrants and DACA recipients, a move that critics argue only serves to further incentivize illegal immigration into the country.
Adding to the controversy, illegal border crossings into the United States surged to unprecedented levels during the meeting. Border Patrol's Del Rio sector reported apprehending over 22,000 illegal immigrants within just one week, a concerning escalation.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson expressed strong opposition to the talks of legalization, deeming them unconscionable. Johnson emphasized that the focus should be on implementing policies that discourage illegal immigration rather than encouraging it.
In a pointed statement, Johnson asserted, "President Biden needs to cease his vacationing and take immediate action to stem the tide of illegal immigration into our country. Our nation's security and sovereignty hinge on it, and the American people are demanding swift action."
This underscores the urgent need to address the ongoing immigration crisis with more robust policies that discourage unlawful entry, rather than offering incentives that may undermine the rule of law.
