Sure-fire winner Obrador calls mass immigration to the United States a “human right” and says migrants “must leave their towns and find a life in the United States.” This razaista wants his lebensraum and he wants it right now.
If Obrador wins, President Trump might get him up to speed on America’s experience with regimes like that. And he might broach the subject of the $26.1 billion in remittances, an amount impossible without the bilking of American taxpayers on a massive scale.
Mexico’s President Obrador Offers Deal to Joe Biden: Work Visas for Border Security
Mexico’s president is offering to curb Central American migration if President Joe Biden lets more Mexicans take U.S. jobs needed by Americans, according to Bloomberg news.
The site reported Mexico’s offer on Sunday:
“President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said that he would propose the plan to U.S. President Joe Biden at a summit on climate change on Thursday. He said the plan could create more than a million jobs and that participants in the reforestation program should be given a chance to obtain U.S. work visas and, eventually, even U.S. citizenship.
“This would allow us to order the flow of migration, which overflowed in March,” Lopez Obrador said in a video posted on Sunday from his ranch in the southern state of Chiapas.
[…]
“This is the way to strengthen productive commercial and economic activities of North America,” he said. “If we don’t unite in the Americas, Asia will out pace us.”
“As a fossil-fuel nationalist, AMLO [Obrador] has so little to offer on climate at this week’s Earth Day Summit,” said a tweet from José Díaz-Briseño, the editor of Mexico Today. “He opted to change topic & is now expected to present Biden with a migration ‘deal’ for Central Americans to gain access to US citizenship in exchange for tree planting.”
Many Mexicans use the H-2A and H-2B visa programs to take agriculture-sector and manual labor jobs in the United States, including the forestry jobs sought by young Americans in rural towns.
Many Mexicans also use the L-1 and TN visa programs to take white-collar jobs from American graduates, who are already losing careers to Fortune 500’s resident foreign workforce of roughly 1.5 million white-collar visa workers.
Mexico has been trying to extract some advantage from Biden’s political predicament.
Biden’s progressive base is pressuring him to adopt very unpopular mass migration into Americans’ jobs, housing, and schools. So far, Biden has zig-zagged between his open-borders base and the increasingly worried American public, while his deputies talk about possible diplomatic deals with countries in the region.
“If you look at the region from different points of view, but especially demographics and economics, it is clear the flows are going to be constant and growing in coming years,” said Mexico’s foreign secretary Marcelo Ebrard, according to an Associated Press April 8 report.
“The United States will have to allocate $2 billion per year for development in these countries, in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador,” said Ebrard, who is involved in the slow-motion negotiations with the White House about the migration surge into the United States.
The $2 billion per year is roughly twice as much money as the $1 billion per year that President Joe Biden has suggested the U.S. should spend in Central America.
But Biden’s prior offer of $1 billion in aid per year is equivalent to just $30.22 per person in Central America — and is only a tiny slice of the economic damage caused by U.S. extraction-migration policies to ordinary Americans, Mexicans, and the people in Central America.
Also, there is little evidence the Biden will anger his base of left-wing programs to stop migration from Central America, Rob Law, the director of regulatory affairs and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart News.
Many U.S. business groups and donors want to extract migrants from nearby countries because they stimulate the U.S. economy, minimize wage gains by Americans, pump up consumer sales, and boost rental prices. For example, business groups are pushing a bill that would allow wealthy farm owners to import replacement labor via the H-2A visa program.
The 2021 inflow under Biden’s border welcome is likely to add roughly 1 million people — or about one migrant for every four Americans who turn 18 and begin looking for jobs.
Biden's corporatist DHS budget would use prior border-wall $$s to hire trusted lawyers, judges & clerks who will rush economic migrants into Americans' jobs, housing & elections.
Also, for more investigators to suppress uncooperative ICE & CBP agents.https://t.co/hprqRkhHAq— Neil Munro (@NeilMunroDC) April 9, 2021

GOP Memo: Joe Biden Has Opened Borders to Help Donors and CEOs
The Republican Study Committee has posted talking points for GOP legislators to help them focus public opposition against the mass migration caused by pro-migration zealots in President Joe Biden’s administration.
“The Biden Immigration Agenda sacrifices the interests of the American People in order to serve the interests of foreign citizens, criminal cartels, and ultra-wealthy multinational corporations,” says the April 12 memo from Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN). The memo continued:
Biden’s agenda rejects responsible limits and controls on the number of people entering the country.
It’s as if the Biden Administration recognizes no borders at all.
President Biden’s policy is not liberal, or even merely left-wing — it is radical, extreme and beyond the bounds of rational thought.
…
While Biden reshapes our immigration system to serve rich donors and giant corporations, we believe it must serve the interests of American citizens, families and workers.
“Trump FIXED it, Biden BROKE it. It’s just that simple,” the memo says.
The memo would help GOP legislators reframe the debate around Americans’ concerns, and away from the focus on migrants’ desires that pro-migration groups and most of the nation’s media tout.
For example, Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us advocacy group funded a polling memo which warned pro-amnesty legislators to avoid talking about jobs and wages and to instead focus their pitch on the worries and concerns of foreign migrants:
It is better to focus on all of the aforementioned sympathetic details of those affected [by an amnesty] than to make economic arguments, including arguments about wages or demand for labor. As we have seen in the past, talking about immigrants doing jobs Americans won’t do is not a helpful frame, and other economic arguments are less effective than what is recommended above.
The migrant-first framing is pushed by establishment media outlets — such as The Washington Post — and by politicians who have decided to support an amnesty. “This is basically for the children,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said April 1 after endorsing a 2021 amnesty that would reward investors and CEOs to hire foreign migrants instead of recruiting West Virginia’s adults and graduates.
The new GOP memo also shifts the Party’s message towards pro-American solutions and away from vague, donor-approved complaints about socialism, welfare, and security. A polling memo released March 24 by the billionaire-funded, pro-migration Immigration Hub group spotlighted the weakness of GOP messaging that avoids positive proposals:
In message-testing, Republicans’ greatest vulnerability on immigration is their refusal to work with Biden on solutions to the problem — instead opting to score political points. When presented with a range of criticisms of Republicans’ approach to the southern border, the following item is most concerning:
That Republicans in Congress refuse to work with President Biden on solutions to address what’s happening at the border, instead opting to block everything Biden is doing on immigration to score political points.
Banks wrote his memo after leading a delegation of GOP representatives to the border:
In the matter of mere weeks, the Biden Administration has transformed President Trump’s secured Southern Border into the sprawling site of an unmitigated and rapidly worsening disaster.
As we could clearly see with our own eyes what the Biden Administration desperately wants to hide from the American public: the situation is devolving and deteriorating by the day. When we met with local sheriffs, mayors and judges at the border, they told us in no uncertain terms that this is an indisputable crisis. They also told us they don’t have time for Congress to drag its feet and pass laws — they need help now. And they need it fast.
President Biden must not be allowed to hide behind the liberal media’s smoke screen. We must urge he and Vice President Harris to visit the border and see the crisis they created firsthand. It is incumbent upon all of us to ensure that he is held accountable to the American public for his massive failure.
Sen. Mike Crapo steps back from his support for the House farm amnesty.
The deal would hammer rural towns in Idaho & elsewhere by replacing Americans with low-wage visa workers who take their wages home each year.
Local GOPers know where the votes are. https://t.co/zsEF4BLTfM— Neil Munro (@NeilMunroDC) March 24, 2021
Banks’ memo suggests four ways for GOP legislators to talk about Biden’s cheap-labor economic policy at the border:
1. National Security: Immigration policy should protect our national security by protecting the American people from terrorism, cartels, and other threats to their safety;
2. America First: Immigration policy should prioritize American workers first, help grow our middle class, raise wages, and enhance economic opportunity for all lawful residents well;
3. Rule of Law: Immigration policy should respect the rule of law, along with immigrants that honor our legal immigration processes, rather than incentivize law breaking;
4. Patriotic Assimilation: Immigration policy should aim to assimilate legal immigrants into the American family so they too can take pride in our values, history, and heritage.
Biden is also far from the mainstream, the memo says:
Americans regardless of party recognize the need to afford basic protections to U.S. workers in the job market. And voters throughout America recognize that we must first consider the social, economic and financial well-being of all American citizens and lawful residents here today. Biden has rejected this mainstream consensus and, with virtually no announcement or discussion, is sailing the United States deep into uncharted waters.
For many years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates. This opposition is multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, intra-Democratic, rational, and recognizes the solidarity that Americans owe to each other.
The voter opposition to elite-backed economic migration coexists with support for legal immigrants and some sympathy for illegal migrants. But only a minority of Americans — mostly progressives — embrace the many skewed polls and articles that push the 1950’s corporate “Nation of Immigrants” claim.
The deep public opposition is built on the widespread recognition that migration moves money away from most Americans’ pocketbooks and families. It moves money from employees to employers, from families to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to real estate investors, from Red states to Blue states, and from the central states to the coastal states such as New York.
Pro-amnesty groups recruit prestigious academics to pretend migrant labor doesn't hurt Americans' wages.
Yet the academics carefully bury the wage-loss issue under piles of related & obvious claims.
That tactic helps keep journos from following the $$.https://t.co/NYktbysOrh— Neil Munro (@NeilMunroDC) April 8, 2021
Mexican president to propose extension of welfare programs to curb migration
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Sunday that he plans to propose his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden an extension of one of his key welfare programs to Central America to help curb immigration.
Hunger and poverty have driven tens of thousands of migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras north in an attempt to cross the U.S. border.
"What I want to propose is that the program Sembrando Vida is implemented in Central America," Lopez Obrador said in a video message from Palenque in southern Mexico. "So people aren't forced to migrate, and it helps the environment."
One of Lopez Obrador's key welfare programs, Sembrando Vida aims to provide Mexicans with work and support the country's agriculture.
Lopez Obrador said in three years, the program could create up to 1 million 300,000 jobs across southern Mexico and the Central American nations.
Participants could earn a work visa for the United States after successfully participating in the program for three years, he said, and eventually apply for U.S. citizenship after another three years. He did not give further details.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Mexican Cartel Proofs of Human Smuggling Payments Litter South Texas Border
McALLEN, Texas — Telltale signs of cartel involvement in the human trafficking of migrants across the Rio Grande were evident in the past week. Scattered throughout the brushy areas along the riverbank lay multi-colored wristbands which demonstrate that migrants paid their “piso” or tax for the privilege of crossing through cartel turf.
The Gulf Cartel controls most of the crossing points in Reynosa to McAllen. They also hold control in Miguel Aleman despite recent skirmishes with the Cartel del Noreste (CDN) faction of Los Zetas, a rival. Although they are not exclusively in the business of human trafficking, they do control anyone trying to illicitly cross the border.
Cartels meticulously record how their instituted fees are paid by assigning each migrant a pin number or “clave.” The wristbands look like hospital tags. The bracelets inform foot guides that the migrant is authorized to cross.
In a study published in 2019 by the Rand Corporation, pisos paid to cartels were estimated between $300 and $700 per migrant. The fee only covers access to the immediate border area controlled by the cartel. Local guides may collect another fee for roughly $100 apiece to use their inflatable rafts. These fees are not inclusive of the journey from the home country.
The fees paid to the smugglers can be much higher if a migrant does not intend to surrender to Border Patrol with the family units and unaccompanied children. Single adults typically are not immediately released—creating a premium incentive for smuggling past the patrols. Estimates provided by a Border Patrol source indicate the fee for multiple crossing attempts may be as high as $3,000. Different color bracelets also evidence the crossing option.
Breitbart Texas/Randy Clark
In March 2021, 168,195 migrants were arrested crossing the border. In March of 2020, 30,389 were arrested. The estimated income to cartels and smugglers has risen from approximately $24 million to $84 million by comparison.
This fiscal year, cartel profits in the border region may be as high as $386 million just to traverse the area. Overall, based on the Rand Corporation study’s high estimates, international human traffickers have potentially earned more than $3 billion from point of origin to destination within this fiscal year alone.
A common misconception regarding the relationship between migrant and smuggler is that poverty can preclude significant exchanges of money. Most migrants have relatives already living in the United States, sending remittances abroad. It is the relatives and extended families in the U.S. who fund most of the human trafficking fees.
Breitbart Texas/Randy Clark
The most prevalent method of payment is through wire. One popular service does not require identification for the recipient. They need only possess the agreed-upon code word. Smugglers will hold the migrant until payment is made.
Gathering the information during a post-arrest interview can be difficult. Migrants are coached to say they paid no fees to avoid being used as material witnesses in criminal cases. The stories usually end with details about family efforts to take loans against property, pawn items, and seek contributions from friends to pay the smugglers fees.
Evidence of the increase in business for human traffickers and the cartels lay strewn on trails and roadways leading from the border. Thousands of footprints and discarded wrist bracelets tell the story.
