Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador says that if "his conditions are met", he'll stop illegal immigration. Those conditions? Amnesty for illegals here, $20 billion in annual subsidies, and an end to sanctions against Venezuela and Cuba. Of course, left unsaid is that if ten or twenty million illegals get green cards, that's going to put the demand to leave Mexico through the roof. Lopez Obrador can more more stop illegal immigration to the U.S. than he can control the cartels that are destroying his country, if even he wants to.
My counter-proposal would be continued sanctions against the countries that have stolen billions of dollars in assets from U.S. citizens and companies, no annual subsidies, and a 5% revenue tariff on all goods coming from Mexico, with the funds obtained to be used to install and maintain a robust border wall and drug interdiction, along with robust punishment of the coyotes who are driving the illegal immigrant and drug trades while raping countless thousands of illegal immigrants in the process.
