Mexico and other Latin American states fall into line behind Trump, nobody wanting to be the next Petro --Update: Even Maduro
By Monica Showalter
In Latin America, word is out.
Suddenly we are seeing a lot of them willingly cooperate with President Trump on the acceptance of repatriation flights for their own nationals in the U.S. illegally.
The reason looks pretty obvious: Nobody wants to be the next Petro.
President Trump's thrashing of far-left Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, who initially refused to take repatriation flights he had agreed to earlier, hollering like the pope about 'dignity,' before being forced to quickly reverse course and sing soprano, seems to have sent a message to the rest of Latin America's alien-exporting states, and now they're falling into line with Trump's agenda.
According to Reuters:
MEXICO CITY, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Mexico has received non-Mexican migrants from the United States in the past week, and Central American nations could also reach similar agreements with the U.S. to accept deportees from other countries, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday.
The leftist leader's comments are a reversal from her administration's previous opposition to Mexico receiving migrants from other countries.
Sheinbaum said in her daily morning press conference that Mexico had accepted more than 4,000 migrants, of which a "large majority" were Mexican, from the U.S.
U.S. President Donald Trump took office last week, promising massive deportations of migrants who were in the U.S. illegally.
But in the days since, there has not been a "substantial" increase in deportees received by Mexico, Sheinbaum said.
Sheinbaum previously said her administration had not agreed to the restart of the "Remain in Mexico" program by the Trump administration, which would send non-Mexican migrants who had crossed the border between the two countries back to Mexico while they awaited processing by the United States.
Suddenly, she's all in with taking back her country's nationals, and nationals from other countries, which makes sense, given that they walked into the U.S. from Mexico. The Mexicans knew what they were up to when they landed, and during the Biden administration, let them all in, the better to collect 'fees' and send them on their way up north.
