we made it their problem when we sanctioned Venezuela, deepening an economic crisis and propelling Venezuelans to migrate to Mexico.
the number they're demanding probably didn't come from thin air, they likely calculated how much it's costing the U.S to manage the immigration influx and proposed a cheaper payout to alleviate the problem.
Venezuelans aren't migrating to Mexico.
They're migrating to the the US and have to travel through Mexico.
Some may decide to stay there but the majority keep walking till the border.
Mexico has "border security" at its southern border to process them..... but it takes months if at all. They know what they're doing, they just dgaf cuz it's not their problem.
And idc if the US did destabilize the region. That doesn't mean we have to accept every citizen coming here.
AMLO is just talking into the wind. And they know damn for sure a Trump administration ain't going for that.
