Here’s the Scoop

Americans are divided over whether President Biden should give in to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s demand for $20 billion a year for Latin American countries in exchange for help combating the illegal immigration crisis. Many fear that complying with a foreign nation’s ultimatum would make the U.S. look weak.

Some argue that the U.S. should not pay Mexico’s demands, as it would be like submitting to them. Others believe that the U.S. and Mexico need to work together to solve the immigration crisis, and that spending money on this issue would benefit both countries.

Obrador has called on the U.S. to send $20 billion a year to Latin American countries, lift sanctions on Venezuela, end the Cuban embargo, and legalize millions of Hispanics who have worked and lived in the U.S. for at least a decade. Mexican officials claim that complying would help the U.S. show it wanted to address the root causes of migration.

Some Americans believe that the U.S. can control the immigration crisis themselves, without giving in to Mexico’s demands. However, others question whether Biden will stand firm against Mexican pressure.

The U.S. has faced an ongoing migrant surge at the southern border under Biden’s watch, with a record 2.4 million migrant encounters in fiscal year 2023. In December, migrant encounters hit a record 302,000 for the month.

Some argue that the U.S. should not help Mexico at all, as it would make the country look weak. Others believe that the U.S. needs to get tougher on illegal immigration and enforce proper border-crossing procedures.

However, some Americans think that Biden should comply with Mexico’s demands to address the escalating border crisis, as the situation is becoming increasingly dangerous and unsustainable.
