‘The President of Mexico says they will keep invading our country until we pay the bribe,’ Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
Mexico’s President is using the migrant crisis, which he helped worsen, as a way to hold the U.S. hostage and force the Biden administration to legalize people in the United States, help some Latin American dictatorships, and pay billions in aid.
Breitbart Texas reported on this diplomatic extortion and how Mexico used its immigration agencies to promote and, at times, slow the flow of migrants; however, in an interview with 60 Minutes, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador explained his plan in detail.
The president of Mexico’s proposal for stemming immigration includes:
In that controversial interview, Lopez Obrador said that he would help the U.S. solve the ongoing border crisis if the U.S. government lifted sanctions on Venezuela, ended its embargo with Cuba, sent $20 billion a year to Latin American countries, and provided a path to legalize millions of Mexicans already in the United States.
When asked about his diplomatic extortion, Lopez Obrador said he was direct and said things that needed to be said and done.
What CBS did not report was that Lopez Obrador’s own policies have fueled the current migrant crisis. As Breitbart Texas reported, during the AMLO administration, the politician used his National Migration Institute, the agency tasked with immigration matters, to provide migrants with travel permits that allowed them to move freely through Mexico. Those permits give migrants 30 days or more to make their way north to the U.S. border, where they have essentially been crossing illegally and requesting asylum.
Lopez Obrador claimed the move was done as a way to end the migrant caravans. Additionally, INM and federal police forces have been escorting migrants rather than stopping them as they take part in various caravans from southern Mexico toward Mexico City.
In some cases, government officials used passenger buses to move caravan migrants out of their states in the south towards northern states such as Nuevo Leon or Tamaulipas, Breitbart Texas reported.

Outraged Republicans claim Biden is being ‘held hostage’ by Mexico after President Obrador demanded $20 billion from the U.S. to help deal with the surge in migrants
- Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador told 60 Minutes he wants $20 billion annually for Latin American countries
- He also demanded U.S. restrictions against Venezuela and Cuba are dropped
- If the U.S. does not meet his demands, he said ‘the flow of migrants will continue’
Furious Republicans claim the Biden administration is being ‘held hostage’ and exploited by Mexico after President Andrés Manuel López Obrador demanded billions of dollars in return for helping stem the surge of migrants into the U.S.
In a 60 Minutes interview over the weekend, the Mexican president said he would work with its northern neighbor to stem immigration if Mexico U.S. meets his demands.
He wanted the U.S. to commit $20 billion annually to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, sanctions to be lifted from Venezuela, the embargo lifted from Cuba and for law-abiding Mexicans living in the U.S. illegally to be given citizenship.
López Obrador said that ‘the flow of migrants will continue’ if the U.S. does not meet his requests.
In response, Republicans decried López Obrador’s demands as a bribe and slammed Biden for letting him call the shots on U.S. foreign policy.
‘The President of Mexico says they will keep invading our country until we pay the bribe,’ Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., posted on X Monday.
‘This is a war,’ she added. ‘He is basically saying either we meet his demands or the invasion continues.’
‘Now the President of Mexico is demanding a bribe in order to ‘stem the invasion’ NOT even stop it,’ she said in another post.
Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, similarly posted on X: ‘When Trump was President, Mexico helped us fight the Mexican cartels and stop mass illegal immigration.’
‘But now, our country is held hostage and Mexico demands bribe money because Biden is all too happy to sell out American border security.’
‘I’ve met with Obrador, he’s a fool and a bully – we need a real leader in the White House to confront him.’
Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., also weighed in.
‘Mexican President Obrador put 25,000 of his own soldiers on Mexico’s southern border to stop migration and supported Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy.’
‘Now he’s dictating border policy to Biden!’
But López Obrador’s demands are not new.
The Mexican president outlined a similar request in January ahead of meeting with Biden.
‘Mexico is helping reach agreements with other countries, in this case Venezuela,’ he said at the time.
‘We have already proposed to President Biden that a U.S.-Cuba bilateral dialogue be opened.’
The Mexican president also said he wanted the U.S. to provide visas to at least 10 million Hispanic migrants who have been living in the U.S. for 10 years or longer.
He also floated the a plan to deploy $20 billion to help Mexico and Central American countries dealing with the root causes of migration.
After leftist López Obrador was elected in 2018, his administration and then-President Donald Trump worked together to create immigration reforms such as the Migrant Protection Protocols, known as the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy.
The policy required immigrants awaiting a U.S. immigration court hearing to remain in the outside of the country until their hearing.
It was widely credited for cutting immigration into the U.S. from Mexico and other Latin American counties.
On Biden’s first day in office, he signed an executive order ending the program.
‘President Trump was able to negotiate the ‘Remain in Mexico’ agreement with Mexico’s president,’ Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, posted on X Monday.
Now, President Biden has opened the floodgates at our border and has rolled over to every world leader who is hostile to America,’ he continued.

Senate Dems Unanimously Vote Against Spending Package Amendment to Stop Biden Admin from Using Taxpayer Dollars to Fly Illegals INTO America — Musk Calls Them ‘Insane!’
Senate Democrats on Friday night voted unanimously to continue facilitating the invasion of our country by shooting down Tennessee Republican Senator Bill Hagerty’s amendment to the Swamp’s spending bill that would prevent the use of American tax dollars to fly illegals from foreign airports into various U.S. cities.
The disastrous omnibus bill does nothing to secure the border while allocating millions of dollars to funding full-term abortions, LGBTQ programs, and youth gender transitioning programs. It also funds the Biden Regime to continue its attack on the Second Amendment with a federal gun-grab operation to keep firearms out of the hands of people who they say “pose a threat to themselves and others.”
The 1,000-page bill was made public at 2:32 am on Thursday while Americans were asleep and was voted on the next day.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene had enough and filed a Motion to Vacate the chair against Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday morning after his “complete betrayal of Republican voters across the country.”
Senator Bill Hagerty posted a clip from the Senate Floor on Friday night, commenting, “Tonight every single Senate Democrat voted against my amendment that would stop Biden Admin from using taxpayer dollars to charter flights for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from their countries directly to American towns to be resettled. Indefensible.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this month, new revelations emerged that the Biden Regime is not only mishandling the southern border but actively aiding and abetting the invasion by operating secret charter flights to transport illegal immigrants from foreign airports to various U.S. cities.
Real America’s Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam was the first to report on this treason last month after he discovered “15-acre facilities” in the Darién gap between Colombia and Panama that the United States is using to process and smuggle illegals into the United States before they even reach the border.
Throughout Central and South America, illegal immigrants’ access to the U.S. with full rights is currently being streamlined through regional processing centers called Safe Mobility Offices, and they are arriving in cities near you as refugees.
Elon Musk previously warned Americans on X after the news broke, saying, “This administration is both importing voters and creating a national security threat from unvetted illegal immigrants. It is highly probable that the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11. Just a matter of time.”
