True. Trump doubled down on AMLO. Will Sheinbaum kneel?
It will be a little over a year since ambassador emeritus Martha Bárcena officially denounced that, behind the backs of the Senate and public opinion, Marcelo Ebrard negotiated an agreement with the United States that turned Mexico into a “safe third country,” without receiving absolutely anything. In return. That happened when the current government had not even begun its functions.
For this reason, since 2019, migrants who wish to enter the neighboring country to the north remain in our country if they meet the requirements to be accepted there.
The version, denied not only by Ebrard, but also by Andrés Manuel López Obrador , has once again been confirmed by the new US presidential candidate Donald Trump, who in a speech given on Saturday in Michigan reported that he pressured the Mexican government to obtain the protection of 28 thousand national soldiers, while he built the border wall.
“We did something very strong with Mexico, when I was building the wall, I told them that I needed 28 thousand soldiers to protect us while we built the wall, they said no and then we told them that we were going to charge them tariffs of 25 percent for each car that they send to America,” he said at the beginning.
Afterwards, he said that “the president’s representative (without mentioning the name of Marcelo Ebrard) said that he wanted to discuss this initiative with the president of Mexico, and I told him that I would only give him five minutes because he had more important things to do. Then he came to say that they would gladly give us the soldiers to protect the wall, tax-free, of course.”
“They gave us everything. I win. “I got everything from Mexico,” the Republican emphasized.
Before, he had said that he had doubled López Obrador with that negotiation in which he had everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Trump bent the Fourth Transformation government due to its manifest weakness.
That is why it is worth asking if, if he reaches the White House again, will the New Yorker also dub Claudia Sheinbaum? Will he kneel her like he already did with AMLO and Ebrard?
Sheinbaum’s false optimism
“We have become the main trading partner of the United States and in a relationship of equality, for the first time we are negotiating under conditions of equality,” said the successful candidate in the presidential elections this July 20 at a press conference.
Equal conditions?
Why repeat the term equality in the same short sentence?
Sheinbaum and who will be his next head of the Economy portfolio should not be very sure what the future of Mexico will be if the Democrats lose the elections on the first Tuesday of November, as is foreseen now that Joseph Biden has declined to be a candidate. presidential election and his place will be taken by Vice President Kamala Harris , whom the decliner suggested.
Beyond that, optimism was the tone of that press conference on Friday.
“With this way of governing, migration to the United States has even decreased, which is why we say that we are all on the second floor of the Fourth Transformation,” said Sheinbaum, mixing economic pears with political apples.
Right there, Ebrard declared that the Free Trade Agreement between the United States, Mexico, and Canada (T-MEC) has strengthened the Mexican economy due to the increase in foreign investment and improvements in local salaries.
He indicated that the achievements obtained thanks to the T-MEC are essential for the continuation of the project called Fourth Transformation, led by Claudia Sheinbaum.
The official highlighted that, with the T-MEC, Mexico has experienced growth in job creation, thus increasing job opportunities for citizens. Likewise, he affirmed that the project would continue in the next six-year term.
Careful! Sheinbaum will have the former chancellor who kowtowed to Trump on his team.
And if it has already bent once…
And are we safe?
And no, we are not a safe country
Insecurity is a constant characteristic of our country.
Mexicans and foreigners live daily in the anxiety of being violated in our integrity and in our properties.
The only reasons for the existence of the State, justice, and security for its inhabitants, have become jobs at the service of the little king.
And he makes a corner of junk out of the concepts, without realizing that the rebellion is at the doors of “his” borrowed palace, the emperor launches declarations of war against his own people.
In the case of migrants things are even worse.
Through the Immigration offices, members of the Army and the National Guard violate the human rights of foreign and Mexican migrants on the southern and northern borders, asking for money in exchange for saving their lives. The only ones who are in jail are the “coyotes” and the “polleros” in those territories under the law of the jungle.
Everything, to tip the hat and beg for Garnachas from Joseph Biden’s Empire. All to keep his chairos enthralled with ranch strategies, with orate arguments.
And there are the results:
Migrants assaulted and even kidnapped on the roads throughout the country.
Migrants killed in accidents after which it is discovered that up to a couple of hundred travel in the boxes of overcrowded trailers, without water, without air thanks to the business in which not only “coyotes” participate, but also officials, soldiers, and police of the 4T.
The fire at the immigration station in Ciudad Juárez that claimed four dozen fatalities and a similar number of injuries is the icing on this cake of corruption for which not only the three levels of the Mexican government are responsible, but also the Bolivarian presidents of Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua… all of them very friends of López Obrador.
And of course, there is also responsibility of the US government, which, naively, still believes that Mexico is a safe country.
Indications
Human Rights Watch defines: “The ‘Remain in Mexico’ program, officially called Migrant Protection Protocols, applied at the US-Mexico border, and originally launched in January 2019 under the administration of US President Donald Trump, was restarted by President Joe Biden on December 6, 2021. ‘Stay in Mexico’ returns asylum seekers and sends them to risk of kidnapping, extortion, rape, and other abuses in Mexico, and violates their right to request asylum in the United States. Although the Biden administration has reviewed the program, there is little reason to believe that the government agencies implementing it respect human rights. “Border control agencies in both countries are implicated in a wide range of abuses endemic to the program and continue to operate with near total impunity.” * * * And that’s all for today.
