Joe Biden got caught up in this unthinkable blackmail scheme
Joe Biden’s scandal-plagued administration reached a new low.
It’s a direct threat to America.
And Joe Biden got caught up in this unthinkable blackmail scheme.
Mexican President threatens to blackmail Joe Biden over the border
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador appeared on CBS’ 60 Minutes and warned President Joe Biden that “the flow of migrants will continue” into America unless he meets his blackmail demands.
Obrador demanded sanctions relief for Communist regimes in Cuba and Venezuela, a taxpayer bailout for Latin American countries, and amnesty for illegal aliens.
The Mexican President told 60 Minutes “that the United States must commit $20 billion a year to poor countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, lift sanctions on Venezuela and the Cuban embargo, and legalize [amnesty] millions of law-abiding Mexicans living in the US.”
Obrador had so little respect for Joe Biden that he told 60 Minutes he felt no shame about publicly blackmailing the President of the United States.
“I’m speaking frankly,” Obrador added. “We have to say things as they are, and I always say what I feel. I always say what I think.”
Republicans slam Biden’s border weakness
Gallup polling showed that immigration is the number one issue for voters.
NBC’s most recent poll found former President Donald Trump leading Biden by 35 points on the issue of the border.
The dynamics are simple.
Donald Trump left behind the most secure border in American history.
Joe Biden opened the border to more than 7 million illegal aliens.
The Mexican President can sense Biden’s weakness and desperation over his lousy polling numbers.
Obrador never would have pulled such a stunt with Trump.
He ended the policy of catch and release by threatening Mexico with tariffs unless they signed on to the Remain in Mexico Protocols.
In an interview with Fox News Channel’s Brian Kilmeade, Trump ridiculed Biden for falling victim to Obrador’s blackmail scheme and declared that he wouldn’t pay the Mexican President “ten cents” to stop the flow of illegals into America.
Republicans were appalled that a foreign leader would feel so comfortable disrespecting the President of the United States.
“The comments made by Mexico’s President are reprehensible and equate to diplomatic blackmail,” Representative Troy Nehls (R-TX) declared in a statement obtained by Breitbart. “To mitigate illegal immigration, Mexico should secure its own border, reimplement President Trump’s successful ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy, and establish a Safe Third Country agreement with the United States.”
“When did the United States of America start to meet the ‘demands’ of a foreign country?” Nehls added. “I’ll tell you when—when Joe Biden became President. This is completely unacceptable.”
The border is one of the defining issues in the upcoming election.
Democrats and the media know this, which is why they are trying to distract from the issue by trying to make the election about abortion or the show trials Democrat prosecutors are going to make Trump stand for.
