‘Migrant president': Mexico says Biden asylum policies boost illegals, cartels
2021-03-11
Question is: How far they can they f*ck us before we restore the border?
Texas isn’t waiting for the feds to figure it out — they’re taking care of their portion of the southern border.
[NY Post] The Mexican government is concerned that President Biden’s asylum policies are encouraging illegal immigration and providing revenue to drug cartels through human trafficking across the US border.

Mexico has asked the Biden administration for help to provide developmental aid to Central America since many of the migrants come from countries such as Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala seeking asylum in the US.

"They see him as the migrant president, and so many feel they’re going to reach the United States," Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said of Biden after their virtual meeting on March 1, according to Reuters.

"We need to work together to regulate the flow, because this business can’t be tackled from one day to the next," Lopez Obrador added.

Some of Biden’s policies that worry the Mexican government include a fast track to citizenship for migrants living in the US and support for gang violence victims.

Internal assessments reviewed by Reuters — based on testimony and intelligence gathering — state that Mexican gangs have been growing their clientele and keeping tabs on US measures that would encourage migration. Additionally they have developed a new tracking system to move migrants across the US-Mexico border.

#4  Mexican migrants in the U.S. sent more money home in 2020 to keep families afloat
Whenthe coronavirus descended on the world a year ago, many assumed that as economies seized up the casualties would include the many thousands of families in Mexico and Central America that depend on regular payments from relatives in the United States.

But while those poorer nations saw their economies devastated by the virus, there was a silver lining: remittance payments actually soared. Total remittances to Mexico rose 14% in 2020, to $41 billion from $36 billion in 2019, according to Bank of México — the vast majority of it coming from the U.S. That amounted to 4% of Mexico’s gross national product.

In the border region, the increase was even more dramatic. Tijuana received more money in family remittances than any other municipality — about $626 million, a 30.1 percent increase from 2019.

More than 1.5 million households in Mexico receive remittances from abroad. The money serves as a lifeline for towns like Puerto Nuevo, a dusty fishing village perched on top of sun-soaked cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean about 90 minutes south of San Diego.
