Mexico’s president said Friday that he is willing to help out with a surge of migrants that led to the closure of border crossings with the United States, but he wants the U.S. government to open talks with Cuba and send more development aid to migrants’ home countries.
The comments by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador came a day after the U.S. announced that a delegation of top U.S. officials would visit Mexico for talks on how to enforce immigration rules at the two countries’ shared border.
Also Friday, U.S. authorities reopened two cross-border railroad crossings in Texas, while keeping operations limited or suspended at other border crossings. And figures released Friday show arrests for crossing the U.S. border from Mexico nudged 1.2% higher in November from October, one of the latest signs of what Troy Miller, acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, described this week as “unprecedented” migration flows.
Cuban immigrants in Florida tend to hate the Cuban government. Opening up relations would mean losing all of their votes, and nobody wants to risk that.
Oh, no, democrats wouldn’t have a chance of winning in Florida? That is almost as bad as hurting our chances of winning Mississippi!
Pretty sure the Cuban population tends to vote republican because of the press about democrats being socialist wannabes or whatever.
Didn’t Obama loosen restrictions on Cuba and the Trump put it back to how it was before?
Except the endgame is to change the government for the better. Perhaps they are wedded to the idea of a permanent bad government in Cuba, which forms their personality.
They don’t vote Democrat regardless because of Kennedy
