The AP reports that Mexicoโs president called Donald Trumpย โa friendโ Friday. He said he would write to the former U.S. president to warn him against pledging to close the border or blaming migrants for bringing drugs into the United States.
President Andrรฉs Manuel Lรณpez Obradorย called Trump โa man of intelligence and vision,โ despite Trumpโs repeated calls to close the two countriesโ border.
Obrador indicated it would offend Mexicans.
Lรณpez Obrador said that in a letter he planned to send next week, โI am going to prove to him that migrants donโt carry drugs to the United States,โ adding that โclosing the border wonโt solve anything, and anyway, it canโt be done.โ
He made that comment even though Mexican cartels are clearly transporting drugs and people. They control the border.
โThey wouldnโt last a month with the border closed,โ he said, referring to U.S. automakers and manufacturers who depend on a steady, uninterrupted supply of parts and finished products for their plants on both sides of the border.
He’s pulling out all the stops.
Donald Trump hasn’t called for closing the border completely. He’s looking to stop illegal immigration, which Obrador wants.
The Democrat elite paints anyone who wants to stop illegal immigration and secure our borders as racist and โanti-immigrant.โ They are either very very stupid and donโt understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration, or theyโre trying to foment division andโฆ pic.twitter.com/MawDm9w1Ew
