Biden regime discusses its open border with Mexico

 Blaze Media:

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is headed south to discuss illegal immigration with the Mexican regime while a migrant caravan estimated to be about at least 8,000 people deep and growing — the largest of its kind since June 2022 — marches north on the U.S. border.

The prospective invaders began their advance northward Sunday, walking from Tapachula, a city near Mexico's southern border with Guatemala, to Alvaro Obregón, reported the New York Post. If successful, this group will add to the strain already experienced at the border, which sees roughly 10,000 illegal aliens storm over daily.

Despite claims that the caravan comprises asylum seekers, leaders of the group made clear with a banner that read, "Exodus from poverty," that they were largely economic migrants.

While most of the economic migrants appear to be from Cuba, Venezuela, El Salvador, Haiti, and Honduras, the BBC indicated some also hail from Bangladesh, India, and other oriental locales.

"The problem is that the southern border [with Guatemala] is open and 800 to 1,000 people are crossing it daily. If we don't get out of Tapachula, the town will collapse," said Villagrán. "We tell the Mexican state that it has left us no other option but to take the coastal highway and walk as far as we can get."

The Biden open borders policy is impacting communities in Latin America and Mexico.   Their "exodus from poverty" is creating poverty in the US, especially along its southern border, and is then being pushed into the Democrat-controlled cities of the north.  The US is also being invaded from its northern border as migrants go into Canada to get in.

Earlier this month, the U.S. border authorities temporarily closed two key rail border crossings for five days and shuttered other crossings in order to redeploy enforcement resources elsewhere in response to spiking migration.

In remarks outside Lopez Obrador's downtown offices, Barcena described reopening the crossings as a "priority" for Mexico.

"We are talking about the economic part, as well as the structural causes of migration," she said.

Last week, Lopez Obrador pledged to help ease migratory pressures on the United States and earlier on Wednesday he urged U.S. lawmakers to invest more to help the poor in Latin America and the Caribbean "instead of putting up barriers, barbed wire fences in the river, or thinking about building walls."

Former U.S. President Donald Trump, the leading candidate to take on Biden in 2024, has promised to crack down on illegal immigration and restrict legal immigration if elected.

During his previous term, Trump focused on building a wall on the Mexico border. His administration built 450 miles (725 km) of barriers across the roughly 2,000-mile (3,200-km) border, but much of that replaced existing structures.

A border wall is cheaper and should be more effective.

Thousands of migrants are arriving at the border every day, trekking from the farthest reaches of the globe, from Africa to Asia to South America, driven by relentless violence, desperation and poverty.

In May, the Biden administration briefly celebrated when crossings declined, even after pandemic-era border restrictions were lifted and many feared the floodgates would open. But the numbers have spiked in recent months, provoking sharp criticism from both parties and fears within the administration that the issue will damage Democrats’ electoral future.
