The White House sent Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday to meet with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, hoping to obtain his assistance in slowing the wave of migrants crossing through his country on their way to ours.
The resulting “Joint Communique” from that parley reveals Mexico City has no interest in assisting an administration that won’t secure US borders.
The trip itself, scheduled during a holiday week when little gets done in either capital, reeked of desperation, and nothing in that communiqué dispels the stench.
President Biden is confronted with polling that shows his immigration and border policies are wildly unpopular with a solid majority of voters — while he’s also attempting to appease the progressive wing of his own party, which refuses to budge in Senate talks on border fixes.
