Held in Mexico City on January 9 and 10, the ballyhooed three-nation summit that featured President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) did not disappoint… at least if you’re a Treason Lobbyist. Biden declared that he wants “to make it easier” for “migrants” to flood the United States, and AMLO declared that he was only too happy to help. In three news conferences, the Mexican president clearly explained what he expects and what he plans: open borders with the U.S., plenty of money flowing south, amnesty for illegals in the United States and the liberal use of Mexican-Americans to advance Mexican foreign policy goals.
The leftist Mainstream Media is at best uninterested and at worst behind AMLO, and the GOP seems not to care that Biden is all too willing to do AMLO’s bidding if it advances the Great Replacement.
The Historic American Nation must beware. Your enemies aren’t just in Washington, D.C. They’re in Mexico City, too.

AMLO’s Regular News Conference, After Biden Landed in Mexico City, January 9: Happy With Biden, Unhappy With Abbott
[Conferencia de prensa del presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador del 9 de enero de 2023 (“Press Conference of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of January 9, 2023”), Gob.mx]
“[W]e have very good communication on the issue of migration,” AMLO said of his relations with Biden, but he doesn’t like Americans who politicize immigration:
[W]hat is lamentable, shameful and inhumane is to utilize the migratory phenomenon for political or electoral purposes.
Got it, AMLO: If you are against mass immigration, you’re wrong to use politics to end it.
AMLO is especially bothered by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who sends illegal aliens to New York and Washington, D.C.
“We are very vigilant, especially with the attitude of the governor of Texas,” he warned.
AMLO also complained that American taxpayers weren’t coughing up enough of their hard-earned income for Latin America, despite the billions of dollars sent to the region since the Kennedy era:
It’s been more than 50 years since there has been any plan for the development and wellbeing for the peoples of Latin America and Caribbean. When President Kennedy started the Alliance for Progress — that was in the 60s and since then there has been no plan to support countries with poor populations, inequality, abandonment and marginalization.
Mexico, he lamented, is now helping those benighted countries.
And “there is nothing negative about President Biden,” AMLO continued. “We are in agreement.”
Especially on Biden’s plan to saddle Americans with 360,000 “migrants” in the coming year by legalizing them before they leave home:
[W]e celebrate the fact that the Biden administration has decided to grant permits or temporary visas to our Venezuelan brothers and he wants to broaden that to include Nicaragua, Colombia, Haiti, even Cuba.
“[P]resident Biden has all our support,” he continued and he’s unhappy with “what we are seeing in the attitude of some authorities in Texas.”
And again, Americans are not permitted to “politicize” immigration:
And now, if in the House of Representatives they are going to use this issue for politicking, we are not going to remain silent, we are going to be informing the people.
So AMLO can politicize the issue, but House Republicans can’t. Again, we get it.
Then it was back to Abbott with a loaded question from a reporter:
What do you think of the letter that Greg Abbott sent yesterday to President Joe Biden, asking for an iron fist against undocumented migration, that they continue constructing the border wall and that they declare the Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations?
“Well, I am not in agreement,” AMLO replied to the surprise of exactly no one.
AMLO is certainly aware of changing demographics and sees an opportunity in it.
“How many migrants are there in Texas?” he asked rhetorically:
To begin with, Texas belonged to our country. As they say in the Tigres del Norte corrido “I didn’t cross the border, the border crossed me.” [Emphasis added]
AMLO knows that demographics are destiny. When a reporter asked whether Biden’s “goodwill” will end in “migratory reform,” AMLO was confident:
It is going to materialize because the Mexicans are in Texas, they are in California, there are many.
Naturally, Biden fed AMLO’s keen interest in the demographic transformation of the United States by immigration.
“Yesterday, President Biden gave me a statistic: of each 100 children enrolled in elementary schools in the United States, 24 speak Spanish,” he said. “Therefore, we have to speak much with our paisanos about this issue, and we must seek respect for the migrant.”
“Paisanos” means fellow Mexicans.
“That great nation was built with migrants, constructed with migrants,” AMLO continued, reprising the usual nation-of-immigrants eyewash we get from Biden and the Treason Lobby. But next came AMLO’s second suggestion that organizing politically was just fine if the goal was mass immigration. Only when Americans are trying to stop immigration is political action forbidden.
Asked whether “paisanos” in the United States should organize, AMLO was ready with an answer:
They are doing that. … [T]here are 40 million Mexicans in the United States and our Puerto Rican brothers, which is the second Hispanic population with 5 million, the 40 million Mexicans, our 4 million Cuban brethren. … I have found that in Texas, California, New York, in any state of the U.S. sometimes there is more nationalism, more love of Mexico, than of those who live here. They are very nationalistic, they love our country much.”
AMLO sees U.S.-born Mexican-Americans as essentially Mexican and that’s the common view in Mexico.
If They’re Mexican nationalists, they're not American nationalists.
Joint Appearance of AMLO, Biden, and Trudeau, January 10: Biden Invites The World, AMLO Demands Amnesty
[Cumbre de Líderes de América del Norte. Reunión trilateral. Mensaje a medios de comunicación (“North American Leaders Summit. Trilateral Reunion. Message to the Media”), Gob.mx, January 10, 2023]
It was here that Joe Biden declared what might be the most frightening statement on immigration ever heard from an American president, particularly one who has already released so many illegals into the country since taking office.
We’re trying to make it easier for people to get here.
AMLO thanked Trudeau for granting guest-worker visas to 25,000 Mexican workers, and then really gilded Biden’s lily in a pitch for Amnesty:
To President Biden, my sincere appreciation for maintaining a relationship of cooperation with Mexico, of sincere friendship, of respect for our fellow Mexicans who live and work honorably in the United States, who are not being bullied or raided, as occurred, sadly, in other times. I have said it before and I repeat it now, you are the first president of the United States in a long time who has not constructed one meter of wall, and we appreciate that, although the conservatives don’t like it. …
I have full confidence in President Biden, and I have asked him to insist to the Congress of the United States to regularize the migratory situation of millions of Mexicans who have years living, working and contributing to the development of that great nation which is the United States for years.
I have reaffirmed that President Biden is a man of conviction, who maintains principles, ideals to guarantee, among many others, women, men in the United States and in the world, that the Statue of Liberty will never ever become an empty symbol.
So AMLO demands an Amnesty for illegals in a foreign country. Frighteningly, Biden and a number of Treason Lobby legislators want to accommodate him!
Post-Summit News Conference, January 12: AMLO: We Will Support ‘Our Paisano Migrants’
[Conferencia de prensa del presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador del 12 de enero de 2023 (“Press Conference of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of January 12, 2023”), Gob.mx]
“[W]e dealt with the migratory issue and made known our support for our migrants,” AMLO said after the summit closed, taking particular care to emphasize that Mexicans who emigrate to the United States are “ours”:
[O]ur interest is that there be no persecution, no raids in the United States, in Canada, that insistence continue to be made to the Congress of the United States for the regularization of our paisano [fellow Mexican] migrants.
The upshot of it all is that AMLO always responds to American leaders in a calculated way. POTUS 45 Trump demanded that AMLO cooperate in reducing immigration, and AMLO complied. But with Trump gone, AMLO is warbling Biden’s tune. Now that he wants to import millions of future Democrats, AMLO is tickled pink to accommodate him.
And, again, AMLO sees the 40 million Mexicans and Mexican-Americans as tools of Mexico, a major reason he wants illegals to keep crossing the border.
AMLO is an opportunist.
The truly dangerous figure in this, though, is our own president and his leftist administration.
If we had a president who controlled the border, what the Mexican president thought wouldn’t be worth a hill of beans.
Here’s the scary thing: We have Biden for at least two more years.
God help us.
