Mexico president warns migrant surge "will persist if US does not take his suggestions"

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

they're coming through mexico. from his country

what do you gain from caping for these people, anyway? what do they bring to the table?

You're really slow
Mexico is stopping and sending back thousands of illegals trying to make it to US
What you think is going to happen when they stop doing that?

They’re coming from Central America. If Mexico was serious they’d have a logjam at their southern border not their northern one.

He’s feeling bold because Mexico is overtaking China as the largest exporter to the US. The US needs Mexico more than they have in decades.

Mexico overtakes China as the leading source of goods imported by US




I have a feeling this reliance on Mexico is going to be a long term disaster. I don’t see it ending well for the US. A cartel ran government, where everything and everyone can be bought? No thanks. The Chinese are already creating factories in Mexico to benefit from Mexicos trade status and they have their fingerprints all over the fentanyl trade (precursor chemicals).

Regardless, US has to play ball with Mexico on this right now, imo.

Is that the result of trump renegotiating the trade deal between Mexico and Canada?


Let me find out he brought jobs back to Mexico

let's not act like this doesn't significantly benefit the mexican economy either. it goes both ways.

Mexico just begging for some Freedom

The thing that sucks about this is that means more factories on Mexico's soil.

Factories mean smog and pollution and look where the U.S is located - right next door.
Additionally, if Mexico does start providing effective manufacturing, the rest of the world will ask them to manufacture their goods as well.
More pollution for us.

If we're not fighting desertification we probably will be in the future. Especially when you consider most of Mexico's factories are near the U.S border.

I hope I'm wrong about this.

All the migrants coming from places like Cuba and Venezuela who’s poor economic conditions are caused by US sanctions


END THE EMBARGO

 

[Seoul Gleou]

US needs Mexico more than Mexico needs US

believe it or not. US is trying to ween itself off China but Mexico is NOT the new pusher they need

 

[Neuromancer]

Why would the US need to send aid to latin America? It's not as if they destabilized the region.

 

[ThatTruth777]

Billions here, billions there. For Americans though?

Especially from these bytch ass republican cons that like to wax poetic about the issue to begin with

 

[Buddy]

To clarify: How is it possible that we can send billions to Israel and Ukraine, yet there's a "border crisis"? Why isn't Foreign Policy prioritizing the economic and public safety threats that are driving people here?

 

[DonB90]

Biden stay getting ho'ed by world leaders what a disappointment

 

[Roger king]

This is all tough talk, you can trust behind the scenes the US government is engaged in talks to stem the flow of the migrants at the border

Part of it. He did renegotiate NAFTA to be more friendly towards Mexico, especially with EVs. Biden has also been a part of it, Bidens strategy is to secure the physical supply chain, and that means decoupling from China entirely and moving things to allied nations like Mexico.

That’s true. I can’t imagine they deal with the influx of immigrants better than we have.

Yeah, I’m thinking of how poorly Mexico has handled the Tijuana River. Mexico has dragged their feet for way too long on it. Though, Mexico makes big money from tourism and unbearable pollution is going to be a problem for them too, perhaps more than us. The stronger the US-Mexico relations get I (optimistically) think they’ll be more inclined to take things like pollution seriously.

Desertification is especially a problem with computer chips and the like because they use a shyt ton of water during manufacturing, EVs too iirc. Reminds me of the Intel plant in Arizona…Aridzona is not a state I think will be livable in 30 years, respectfully.

I don’t see Mexico becoming a global hub for manufacturing. The main draw for the US is it can secure its supply chain and also not have to deal with transporting raw material and goods across multiple countries and multiple bodies of water. I see countries bringing more and more manufacturing in house before they all go to Mexico. I think the trend will end up being:
decoupling supply chain from adversarial nations->moving the bulk of it to friendly countries -> return of in-house manufacturing (which actually is feasible because with AI and robots, cost of labor in a 1st world country will be irrelevant).

Giving Latin America 20 billion dollars is a waste of money because that’s going right back to the cartels. That being said America needs to stop interfering in South And affairs and lift the embargo’s and trade restrictions on Venezuela and Cuba.
