Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador (AMLO) is not wrong on this one. AMLO is calling out Joe Biden for sending $33 billion more to Ukraine, while doing nothing financially in central America which would alleviate the migration pressure.
The article, as written, and general tone from President Lopez-Obrador, are expressed from the perspective that Biden has his foreign policy problem solving emphasis on the wrong syllable.
Put that level of subsidy into support within Central America and the migration issue would correct. Unfortunately, as more people are becoming aware, the location of Biden’s financial emphasis is a feature of the White House plans, not a foreign policy flaw.
Ukraine is viewed as a priority because the DC politicians and corporations gain financial benefit from Ukraine spending. If Biden were to drop $30 billion in central America, it would impede the White House agenda to keep the southern border crisis going. The border collapse is a goal of the White House, not a mistake.
GUATEMALA CITY — Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador started a five-day tour to four Central American countries and Cuba on Thursday by lashing out at the U.S. government.
López Obrador criticized American officials sharply for being quick to send billions to Ukraine, while dragging their feet on development aid to Central America.
On his first stop in neighboring Guatemala, López Obrador demanded U.S. aid to stem the poverty and joblessness that sends tens of thousands of Guatemalans north to the U.S. border. The Mexican leader had been angered that the United States rebuffed his calls to help. (read more)
FJB! LGB!
Obrador is correct. It is grossly hypocritical of Biden BUT given the present state of the U.S. economy, rising inflation and several other negatives being imposed on the American people, the money should have been spent on completing the southern border wall first and not in Ukraine or C. America. Any other expenditures should be essential ones aimed at helping Americans rather than expanding the debt further and stimulating even higher inflation.
The American people didn’t cause the poverty and crime in Central America. Some of the interventions in some of these countries by corrupt, self enriching Uni-party U.S. politicians and others probably contributed to some of the instability in the distant past but the American people do not owe these countries reparations or funding for development.
The menacing and powerful cartels and corrupt politicians in some of these countries would likely benefit the most from a big payout while most Central Americans would still remain poor and exploited if the U.S. doled out $Billions to them.
Look at all we in America have handed to the rest of the world, but not to Mexico? That stinks. How many borders did the selected resident help build in Europe this past couple of years anyhow? Why not one for his own supposed country that he hates. He has never been ‘FOR’ America….but it sure has given him a hell of an income for the past 45+ years. Plus all his friends and family.
Oh my! Your experience made tears well up in my eyes. Thank you for sharing!
The border collapse could also be a kept campaign promise to a major MAJOR donor to the DNC called George Soros. He profits from currency fluctuations caused by disruption like immigration, here & Europe & Ukraine.
Cool it with the antisemitism. It’s forbidden to notice patterns here.
It has nothing to do with antisemitism…..Sor*ss is not Jewish, so just forget that part Grumpy G is NOT a problem, but the rest of them could be.
Soros is a self-hating Jew and gave up his own people to the Nazis. Called it his proudest moment.
So calling out a person who has Jewish ancestry but is Dr. Evil on steroids and has billions to spend which he uses to destroy MY country ( not his. He’s Hungarian!) somehow makes Grandpa and me ‘antisemetic’? Put down the pipe and slowly back away.
No crucifixion no salvation. If you’re a Christian then you were grafted in and likewise can be cut out. Like it or not, God makes it very clear that the Jews are his chosen people and has stern words for those who think or act otherwise. In addition, He tells you exactly what your focus should be and that is to pickup your cross (crucify the flesh) and follow Him. Petty bickering, pointing fingers and racist overtones are not part of a Christian’s job description.
With all the illegals shooting all the white men, why can’t they manage to hit him? Maybe even his boys as well as any other help he might hire?
FACT
Yes. And that creep has the face of evil, inside and out! I have read that when he was young, he turned over fellow jews to the Nazis during the 2nd world war!
BFF with the Clintons. Soros nephew is married to Chelsea Clinton. Just imagine if Hillary ever wins the Presidency!
Just a thought: Might Zelensky be blackmailing Biden? He might have all the receipts from when Biden was VP, and Hunter’s involvement.
i would think Biden could end Zelensky anytime he wanted, and blame it on Russia.
Sure….after all, Zelensky wants “The new world order” along with his piece….from his own original words when this started. He probably is cause Bidumb wants it too. Ya know, federal police, federal medical, federal food, federal schools, federal control period. Just take the whole U.S. over and do as he wants us to.
Zelensky is even more of a puppet than Biden.
the only agreed time, to stop it and change is at election time. it could be a nuclear bomb, a march, a glitch – whatever. the winner gets the country for 4 years (the legality of the win does not matter; only the win)
We would be much better off sticking with the Monroe doctrine. And quit ‘expanding’ nato, and f’ing around in the middle east and asia.
Hey AMLO, invest in bull-etts. That will stop the flow for much cheaper.
In a former time, before our military were corrupted, we could have sent Special Ops of all sorts to Mexico, and they could have cleaned it up …But they wouldn’t have been able to keep it clean, and Mexico would have degenerated again into more crime, because the gov’t and society are used to it.
There’s a reason that we decided not to keep Mexico after the Mexican-American War. We could have kept it.
A left wing president shaming Biden!
I though all criticism of Biden and the Democrats was from right wing extremists?
They have painted themselves in a corner and resorting to lies and deceptions to say they are not in a corner.
Obrador has a darn side more compassion for ordinary people than Biden.
O’boy Oberto Labrador should use the money from the drug cartel to support Central America. And giving his countries drug pushers with the help of the Mexican government kills over 100.000 Americans a year we should be sending him packages everyday in the form of massive MOABs
Obiden is protecting his bio labs and trafficking tunnels.
We need not spend money on Ukraine or Guatemala. False choice.
Nobody cares but WE LITTLE PEOPLE. It’s for sure the politicals’ and elites don’t give a da** if or how everyone who ever voted for them suffers. Just vote to ‘retain’ all the same basta**s
.
“Development aid to Central America”?
WTH? Lopez-Obrador wants some bribe money to stop facilitating these illegals through his country, and give some too to his buddies in Central America?
.
Well yeah. He knows what business our “government” is in, he wants a cut of the action.
Mexico has been exporting its overpopulation and poverty to the US for as long as I have been alive. It was always a problem in Texas, where I grew up.
Now AMLO gets $50 BILLION per year in remittances from Mexicans in the US, which is money that he doesn’t have to spend in MX.
Just a typical Mexican political grifter.
Huh? Read your remarks! Weird.
.
“I’ll stop helping these burglars break into your house if you will just give them some money.”
This is all lunatic. How about we build the wall and then place — on the Mexico side — our 10,000+ boys with guns doing gkwhat in eastern Europe. They would be happy to do this.
.
Straight up bro.
The Marxist Democrats are succeeding at importing a new electorate that will vote for Marxism. While most of the GOP does nothing to stop it because they are well paid by the globalist interests and the cheap labor business lobby. The GOP for the most part is a fake opposition party.
Si El Presidente, there’s no ‘equidad y justicia racial’ in Gringo Biden’s America.
Paging Kamala! Please go to the white phone for a message about root causes for this debacle. Short trip, right back to your illegitimate, blabbering boss and your lazy self for not being one bit serious.
Lets Go Brandon !!!
But this guy should shit his hole and get his military doin something besides helping the GD Cartels !
Undisputable FACT.
The proof is in the HOSTILE INVASION.
Fjb
Absolute truth. Thank you, Sundance.
Thirty-three billion dollars!
Perhaps we should rethink foreign aid to either Ukraine or South America.
Let sovereign countries fix their own problems. Our help should be in the form of free consultation (not wasted dollars).
On the other hand, why don’t we ship all those cheap labor manufacturing jobs from China to Central America for awhile on our way to bringing them home. 😁
Trump and his pick Barr were our last chance to stop it.
Like Biden is making any decisions.
Our forefathers understood bureaucracies wouldn’t successfully protect the American people. It’s why law enforcement and military are under the Executive Branch.
We need a strong leader with decision making capabilities, not bureaucratic agencies making their own policies.
Has the US taxpayer not been supporting Mexico and all the Central American countries for decades now? Since evidently, the United States cannot refuse to allow illegals entry into the country, I advocate stopping all aid and assistance to everyone now!!!
It seems more obvious that Biden has given up on America, and by doing nothing for her he is seeking her demise. Since I believe that to be the case, I would like someone to step forward and tell us who is making the promises and where has it been promised that this person will provide Biden his new homeland & home. Though I’ve never been there and can’t swear to it, Biden seems to think that Delaware, is right next to heaven. Accordingly, it would seem that it would take a mountain full of promises to get Biden to turn his back on the mansions that he has there. Especially when one considers that he may have committed some despicable act to pay for them. So, tell us Joe, where is it you believe you will be living in luxurious retirement once you have destroyed this nation with your despicable open borders policy. Note to Biden: “Those who betray, will be betrayed.”
I´ll put you in some context. (I´m mexican)
AMLO requested several months ago a specific quantity, that is, 4 Million USD to Central America, NOT to Mexico. Mexico itself has been sending its OWN, mexican money, to Central America. Besides, its not just money like that, but a specific program called “Sembrando Vida”, (which would be translated as, roughly, “sowing life”) to help agricultors. It´s an incredible program that has been working the last three years in Mexico, and, although it wasn´t its main objective, it´s the biggest reforestation program in the world (+800,000 trees sowed)
That program is being implemented in Central American countries WITH mexican assesment, through the Mexican embassy.
Now, Lopez Obrador is given the money of a far poorer country than USA, Mexico, to Central America, and nobody is complaining because, at the end of the day, these are brotherly nations of Mexico, and they will indirectly help Mexico. (So to think that this is a corrupt scheme is utter ignorance, or unwillingness to investigate more)
Now, Biden DID accept to give 4,000 million USD several months ago, which whould be not even the 5% of what the USA is sending to Ukraine to a war it has no chances to win (unless going nuclear, but then, nobody would win), but it seems the US rather stupid Congress doest not approves it. That would indeed help slow migration, because, among other things, that was the purporse of “Sembrando Vida”.
Now, people who think US gov should not give the money, I just want to remind everybody that the USA, unlike Mexico and 90% of world nations, DOES have a printing machine. The US Dollar is gonna crash anyway, but WHY wouldn´t spend it while it is still worth something on a problem that would indeed HELP CA and, indirectly, the same USA?
That´s the bottom line, and I do expect the US gov to give it for the sake of everybody
