Mexico President Blames Biden for Illegal Migrant Surge at Southern Border

Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador blames President Biden for the surge of illegal migrants at the U.S.-Mexico southern border.
President López Obrador said President Biden essentially sounded the alarm that “there would be a better treatment of migrants,” under his administration.
Fox News reports:
“Expectations were created that with the Government of President Biden there would be a better treatment of migrants,” Lopez Obrador said at a press conference. “And this has caused Central American migrants, and also from our country, wanting to cross the border thinking that it is easier to do so.”

The spike in illegal border crossings is a consequence of President Biden replacing some of the immigration policies under former President Trump.
Arizona border town Mayor Chris Riggs declared an “emergency order” and said they “do not have the resources to handle all these people being dropped in on us by border patrol.”
Vice President Kamala Harris laughed when questioned about her plans to visit the southern border.
Apparently, the border crisis is now a laughing matter for the Biden administration.

Even the liberal media are critical of President Biden’s handling of the southern border.

You know the Biden administration is in trouble when even @MSNBC starts highlighting just how bad the border crisis is getting, and showcases illegal migrants flatly admitting they came here because of Joe Biden. https://t.co/xyWSpgWWOe

President López Obrador calling out President Biden over the southern border crisis is evidence Biden owns it.
