Joe Biden requests support from López Labrador to address immigration
On September 9, Marcelo Ebrard, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, delivered a letter to Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State, during the meeting on the high-level economic dialogue, for which the President of the United States Joe Biden has responded by letter.
That letter sent by the Minister of Mexico was addressed to the US president and had López Labrador as sender, it reflected the problem of migration, emphasizing its fundamental causes, such as insecurity and the lack of chance.
Being such an important issue and something that is currently affecting the United States a lot, Joe Biden did not wait with his response: "We share our point of view of an immigration system that carefully protects our borders, expand the channels legal protection and opportunity in the United States ", one of the president's words.
Likewise, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mexico has mentioned that both countries are entering into an agreement to address the main causes of migration, all this as a way of being able to dissuade migrants from leaving their homes.
The Mexican minister agrees with Joe Biden, who has shared with López Labrador his willingness to deal with all causes of migration to the United States, so his goal is to start fighting corruption, insecurity, violence and the lack of opportunities economic of the Mexican people.
Rio Grande, main scene of violence
The main objective of these neighboring nations is to create some humanitarian patterns that avoid repeating the actions carried out on September 20, where the United States border patrol could be seen through images beating Haitians with whips from their horses in the Rio Grande bordering Texas.
At the end of August, it was also possible to observe some videos showing two Mexican migration agents immobilizing and beating a migrant in Tapachula, bordering Guatemala, so both nations want to reduce these sources of violence in their territories borders.
This is how the president of the USA in the letter states, that he wants to work to improve the processing of identification of legitimate application for protection, while he can quickly discard all those who do not have it.
It has been found that currently many people are forced to leave their homes due to the violence generated by different gangs that put their lives at risk.
To everyone's surprise, the President of the United States endorses by letter from Young People Building the Future and Sembrando Vida, the two programs created by López Labrador dedicated to low-income families in the communities most susceptible to migration.
In this way, the government of Joe Biden has indicated in the text of the letter its contribution of 600 million dollars for international assistance granted to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, to which it adds another 861 million dollars that the next year they are directed to Central America.
The US president has several objectives in mind to solve this crisis, one of them is to "consider asylum applications fairly and efficiently."
Biden was vice president during the Barack Obama administration between 2009 and 2017, during that time at least three million undocumented migrantsnts were expelled from that country.
During that government, Obama was dubbed by the Latino community as the "Deported in chief", since in his first year in office he sent around 177,000 Latinos back to their countries, deporting more migrants than in the Trump administration.
Migration has become a problem for both nations
President López Labrador has already had telephone contact with Joe Biden, so the Mexican president has placed on the table the solution that the bottom line to the phenomenon of migration involves promoting the development of communities.
Only in the United States currently some 36 million Mexicans reside, which represents more than 60% of the Latino population.
Joe Biden points out in his letter to López Labrado that he will try to make the resources of the unnecessary border wall already approved go towards investments and technologies, clarifying that his main objective is to modernize land ports of entry at the borders, since this could have better access control.
President Donald Trump in his first three years in office could only lift 177 km of the 1609 km intended on the border with Mexico, which covers 3,185 km of distance from his wall, which was called the invisible wall, which he achieved reduce migration by 75% in the admission of refugees and a 10% decrease in the acceptance of greencards, although asylum applications did increase.
All of this was due to the tightening of immigration laws with much more stringent decrees and requirements for the granting of immigration benefits during Trump's term.
But the opposite has happened in Biden's tenure. The current President of the United States with only nine months in power has already broken a historical record for the arrival of undocumented immigrants to the country.
Only in the month of May of this year they detained 180,000 migrants at the border with Mexico, while the figures in April and March were 178,622 and 173,348 respectively.
This indicates that from January to June a wave of migration was detected that represented three times that of the past year.
For the month of July, a new historical record was registered with 212,000 retained, a figure equivalent to that of the population of Jerez on the border.
Clearly, the US government needs the López Labrador government to try to control the movement of migrants to the border, where in recent months there has been an overflow of migration clearly affecting the current mandate, which is why Biden asks Labrador for support with dreamy phrases.
"We are stronger working together, and I look forward to our joint efforts to come," were some of Joe Biden's words to the Mexican president, who hope to start working together on this issue in the coming months and thus be able to reduce the exaggerated figures of migration to the United States, which have broken records in most of the year.
