Mexico Tells Biden: Expect ‘Constant and Growing’ MigrationNeil Munro 9 Apr 2021
More migrants are coming to the United States, and the solution is more U.S. foreign aid to Central America, says Mexico’s foreign minister.
“If you look at the region from different points of view, but especially demographics and economics, it is clear the flows are going to be constant and growing in coming years,†said foreign secretary Marcelo Ebrard, according to an Associated Press April 8 report.
“The United States will have to allocate $2 billion per year for development in these countries, in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador,†said Ebrard, who is involved in the slow-motion negotiations with the White House about the migration surge into the United States.
The $2 billion per year is roughly twice as much money as the $1 billion per year that President Joe Biden has suggested the U.S. should spend in Central America.
But Biden’s offer of $1 billion is equivalent to just $30.22 per person in Central America — and is only a tiny slice of the economic damage caused by U.S. extraction-migration policies to ordinary Americans, Mexicans, and the people in Central America.
More importantly, there is little evidence the U.S. wants to stop migration from Central America, said Rob Law, the director of regulatory affairs and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.
