Reuters: Мексика отклонила план США по строительству стены на новом участке границы

In the United States, the problem with the constant increase in the number of illegal migrants from Mexico is gaining momentum. At the same time, Washington will most likely not be able to solve it in the foreseeable future. At least diplomatically.

As reported by Reuters, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador rejected the US government's plan to build a wall on a new section of the border in Starr County, Texas. The issue was discussed during recent negotiations between the Mexican leader and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.



The material says that even before the above-mentioned meeting, Lopez Obrador called the initiative of the White House administration a “step back.”

However, he did not change his position even after a conversation with American officials.

We believe in bridges, not walls

- said the Mexican leader during the negotiations.

It is worth noting that the problem with illegal migration and rising crime in the States has indeed become a real challenge for the Biden administration. At the same time, former US President Donald Trump more than once accused the current American leader and the Democratic Party for the failure of immigration policy and refusal to build a wall on the border with Mexico.

      It’s not clear, but should the United States ask permission from someone if construction is taking place on its territory?

        The fact is that the Americans want Mexico to pay for the construction of the wall. Do Mexicans need this?

          Understood. When the Mexican president spoke about bridges, he meant mines.

          We build walls with our mistrust,
          With your suspicion, or simply disbelief.
          Friends among themselves, or even relatives,
          We are building walls, big, big...

          And in a quarrel for years, and there is no communication
          After all, this is how you and I will lose our salvation.
          And stones are piled up and walls are built,
          We cannot forgive threats and betrayal...

          I wish I could take those walls and destroy them all,
          And break all mistrust in each other.
          Build bridges and meet halfway,
          And the anger will go away, your soul will feel lighter.

          Your hatred will fall from your heart instantly,
          We need such a change in our souls.
          Break down walls and build bridges!
          God needs such workers.

      Was the wall going to be built on Mexican territory?
      How could the Prez turn down the plan? Did someone ask him?

      But what about the Virgin Mary and all that... But the Mexicans, it turns out, believe in bridges, it’s strange why not in PMP?! If anything for the future, the bridges with the PMP, not to mention the Virgin Mary, didn’t really help the Ukrainians and the SS men (not to be confused with the SS men and the lost and lost sheep), not to mention the Virgin Mary, well, you never know... crying what laughing

      I like the relationship between the US and Mexico. The Americans told us that the wall in Berlin is a sign of totalitarianism. And on the border between Mexico and the USA, the wall is a sign of rights, freedoms and democracy!

        In Berlin, the wall divided a single country and a single people. Their situation is a little different, hordes of people from all over South America are rushing for freebies or to rob. By the way, similar things are starting to happen here, don’t you see any parallels?

                Well, for example, the territory of ancient Mexico City - Tenochtitlan - was about 7,5 km². Tenochtitlan was crossed by a network of canals, and communication with land was carried out using dams equipped with drawbridges. And so the Spaniards sailed and captured empty, ownerless territories. For reference, Mexicans are the descendants of those Spaniards.

        You don't understand, this is different.
        The Berlin Wall is political.
        Mexican - economic.
        The Germans fled from totalitarianism to freedom. And this is good. Escapees increase the amount of freedom.
        Mexicans are running from hungry freedom to well-fed freedom. And that's bad. The amount of freedom does not increase, but the amount of food decreases.

      That's right, create favorable and comfortable conditions for emigrants from Mexico and with US money. And some American senator proposed sending American troops to Mexico. The Mexicans are already with you.
