WH Fails to Mention New Border Agreements Mexico Made With U.S.; Speaker Johnson Calls Them 'Amnesty'

The audacity of the Biden Administration to pull a fast one on the American people about the border crisis with Mexico is stunning. Most people are checked out and not paying much attention to the news, in the lull between the celebration of Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Earlier this week, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Secretary of State Antony Blinken met in Mexico City with the Mexican government about the hordes of illegal aliens streaming into the U.S. Here was all we were told in an X post by Mayorkas:
But after the meetings on Wednesday, several government officials, including President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, blew the lid on what was discussed, insisting that some "important" deals/"important agreements" had been struck about illegal immigration and the border:
MEXICO CITY, Dec 27 (Reuters) - Mexico said on Wednesday it had struck unspecified "important" deals with the United States after talks that U.S. officials sought to focus on curbing record-high migration, a key issue in next year's U.S. elections.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken led the closed-door negotiations for the U.S. side, and Mexican Foreign Minister Alicia Barcena told reporters she had pushed U.S. officials to ease any remaining curbs on cross-border trade.[...]
In a post on social media, Lopez Obrador hailed what he described as "important agreements" following the talks with U.S. officials, but without giving any details on the deals.
Lopez Obrador said he had requested the meeting to discuss cooperation on migration, the economy and security.
