According to a letter from Mexico’s President to U.S. President Donald Trump, poor migrants from 3rd world countries have the moral right make the United States their home.
In the angry letter, Mexico’s President Andrés López Obrador also excused Trump of turning the United States into an anti-immigrant country ‘overnight’.
The letter comes on the heels of President Trump’s announcement that he would levy a five percent blanket tariff on Mexican goods beginning in early June – a tariff that would gradually increase until the Mexican government takes action to stop the sustained illegal immigration spike.
“If Mexico still has not taken action to dramatically reduce or eliminate the number of illegal aliens crossing its territory into the United States, Tariffs will be increased to 15 percent on August 1, 2019, to 20 percent on September 1, 2019, and to 25 percent on October 1, 2019,” Trump said in a statement.
Obrador’s letter, which he posted to Twitter, asserted a migrant’s ‘right for justice,’ saying, “President Trump. Social problems are not resolved by taxes or coercive measures. How do you transform the country of fraternity for the world’s migrants into a ghetto, a closed space, where migrants are stigmatized, mistreated, persecuted, expelled and the right for justice is canceled to those who tirelessly seek to live free of misery?”
The scathing letter also seemed to assert that impoverished Mexicans also have the moral right to make the United States their home.
“It is worth remembering that, within a short period of time, Mexicans will not need to migrate into the United States and that migration will become optional, not compulsory,” Obrador wrote.
Instead of formally accepting or rejecting President Trump’s demand that the Mexican government takes action to block the vast numbers of Central Americans migrating into the U.S., the Mexican president repeatedly claimed the poor people simply have the right to move into the U.S. The letter also failed to denounce Trump’s threat to impose new tariffs on Mexico.
In one portion of the letter, Obrador appropriates the Statue of Liberty as an apparent symbol of both legal and illegal migration, saying, “The Statue of Liberty is not an empty symbol.”
In actuality, the Statue of Liberty was constructed to display to other nations how America’s culture and its Constitution has helped to develop flourishing democratic society. Regardless of that fact, progressive neoliberals continue to argue that the statue should be viewed as a symbolic invitation to migrants from all over the world.
Since the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 was instituted – a law which drastically loosened the country’s immigration laws – the U.S. population of citizens with Mexican ancestry and illegal immigrants has exploded to 30 million. That enormous population delivers roughly $30 billion in remittances to Mexico every single year.
But it’s not just foreign heads of state who would like to see the United States continue to be weakened via mass immigration from the third world. Unfortunately, there are many influential voices within the United States who make the claim that Americans’ homeland is a nation of and for immigrants – not a homeland for 280 million American-born citizens and their children.
In 2018, when speaking to an Indian audience, Republican in Name Only Nikki Haley had this to say: “The one thing about America and what I have always loved is America is a country of immigrants. It’s the fabric of America to have multiple cultures. Multiple populations. Multiple heritages that do come into America that make it what it is.”
From the other side of the aisle, Senator Dick Durbin, the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate asserted in February of last year that “rejecting the notion that we are a nation of immigrants [is] to deny our birthright as a nation … to really defy who we are, what we are and what we will be.”
Durbin also regurgitated the age-old lie globalists continue to propagate to the detriment of the societies in which they rule over when he declared, “We have a diverse nation, and that is our strength as far as I’m concerned.”
In contrast to globalist Democrat and Republican politicians, President Trump has continually argued that America is for Americans. In his letter which announced the new tariff threat, he said:
“As everyone knows, the United States of America has been invaded by hundreds of thousands of people coming through Mexico and entering our country illegally. This sustained influx of illegal aliens has profound consequences on every aspect of our national life—overwhelming our schools, overcrowding our hospitals, draining our welfare system, and causing untold amounts of crime. Gang members, smugglers, human traffickers, and illegal drugs and narcotics of all kinds are pouring across the Southern Border and directly into our communities. Thousands of innocent lives are taken every year as a result of this lawless chaos. It must end NOW!”
The current situation is deeply unfair and immoral to the American worker and taxpayer, who end up bearing the extraordinary financial cost imposed via mass immigration.
Each year, the federal government imports around 1.1 million legal immigrants and renew a resident population of about 1.5 million white-collar visa workers and approximately half a million blue-collar visa workers.
In addition to that, the government hands out over a million work permits for foreign nationals, tolerates around eight million illegal workers, and fails to punish business who employ illegal migrants.
Policies like these not only decrease wages by flooding the labor market with cheap, foreign-born, white-collar workers and blue-collar laborers, but also transfers vast amounts of wealth from young employees to older investors. As a result, wealth gaps are widened, state and local tax burdens are increased, and college educations become less valuable.
Something must be done.
You’re the President. Don’t let it happen!
Well if Mexico wants USA to take
All is their poor people , the why don’t they educate them and send them with income to take care of themselves.
Other wise we have our own poor people that need help
We can’t afford to take all others
From Mexico and support them
They are illegals breaking our laws
And dumb ass Dems don’t want to fix
Problems
I can’t afford more taxes to pay for
Illegals
GO Home,
Mexico take care of your own people
Stop pushing your illegals on the USA
Support the President in his efforts to address this obvious problem. Democrats have proven to be enemies of the Republic, and should be voted out of office all over the country.
America is for U.S. citizens (natural born and naturalized U.S. citizen) and legal immigrants. If you wish to stay and live in the USA you must follow the laws of our country and not try to circumbent by finding loopholes.
Well said.
Let Mexico take care of the poor illegal immigrants in their Country. We have enough poor illegal immigrants we have to pay for. They think EVERYTHING is FREE in the U.SA. NO WAY. We legal migrants have to pay for them. Some bring in disease, do not want to assimilate to our Constitution and change OUR COUNTRY to THEIRS. SOCIALISM! GO TO MEXICO. We are over crowded with illegal immigrants, taking our jobs away from legal migrants. Go to Mexico or go back home and CLEAN UP your own Country. Enough is Enough….
Well said.
And speak English when you do immigrate and live here. It shows respect to your host country. To continue to speak Spanish and fly your flag is disrespect and if it was so great why are you here other than to mooch, and expect us to support you. If that’s the case, don’t bother coming here. We have more leeches than we can afford already.
America is for AMERICANS, and people who want to live and work here LEGALLY. AMERICA is a country of LAWS that need to be followed, not ignored. We don’t need or want just any Tom, Dick, or Harry TERRORIST that wants to waltz across our borders. And NO ONE HAS A RIGHT to come to our country Uninvited, to live off of us hard working AMERICANS !!!!!!!!
Yes we are a nation born of immigrants. Immigrants who LEGALLY entered this great country through Ellis Island.
I agree with everyone else. Let South America take care of their own people. We done’ need the burden of them Enough is enough. Thanks to the Democrats rep. we are having to deal with this. We need to take both houses with enough people to pass legislation on this and other things pertaining to the country. I am so sick of the impeachment crap. Let is go and get on with the business of the country. Pelosi and the others need to get over it. I am a Democrat but i will not vote for any of them running now.
