Taking Andrés Manuel López Obrador at His Word
Is it also a 'human right' for Central Americans to migrate to Mexico?

Mexico's presidential election occurs Sunday, July 1, and it's quite possible that by the time you read this, the candidate will have been chosen. It's also quite possible that the winner will be Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), a left-leaning populist nationalist whose prose resonates with slightly anti-American themes.
The Economist has published an article detailing a few of the guerrilla civil disobedience tactics that have made López Obrador's political star shine so brightly among Mexico's poor and dispossessed. Some aren't too dissimilar from Antifa tactics, in a Mexican motif. And his oratorical rhetoric carries some of the same messianic tones that we once saw out of leftist luminaries such as Fidel Castro in Cuba and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Those experiments in populist "democracy" went stunningly wrong, and one worries for Mexico's future.
