Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has threatened to take action that will worsen the ongoing crisis at America’s Southern Border if Democrat President Joe Biden fails to comply with his demands.
Obrador, or “AMLO,” issued the threat during an interview over the weekend.
AMLO warns that if the Biden administration does not give in to his demands, he will unleash the floodgates of illegal immigration upon the Mexio’s border with the U.S.
The Mexican leader made the remarks during a “60 Minutes” interview.
He was talking about the crisis that has unfolded on the U.S. southern border under President Biden.
The border crisis has been amplified by AMLO refusing to take action to slow down illegal aliens entering his own southern border on their way to the United States.
The segment did not focus on how Biden’s policies ignited the border crisis, however.
Nor did it note that Biden has refused to deal with the issue.
The leftist president demanded earlier this year that if the U.S. wanted help in combating the millions of illegal aliens entering the southern border, American taxpayers must give tens of billions of dollars per year to countries in Latin America.
He is also demanding American work visas for 10 million illegal aliens already living in the U.S.
Additionally, ALMO wants Biden to lift sanctions on socialist Venezuela and end the embargo of communist Cuba.
AMLO claimed that the reason there was a dip in the number of illegal aliens entering the southern border between December and January was because of actions that he took.
He is now threatening to reverse these actions if his demands are not met.
“If they don’t do the things that you said need to be done, then what?” AMLO was asked.
“The flow of migrants … will continue,” he responded.
When asked if he viewed his actions as “diplomatic blackmail,” he responded:
“I am speaking frankly.
“We have to say things as they are, and I always say what I feel.
“I always say what I think.”
