President Andrés Manuel López Obrador blamed U.S. economic sanctions on countries like Cuba and Venezuela for the influx.
MEXICO CITY, Mexico — Mexico’s president said Monday that about 10,000 migrants per day are heading to the U.S. border, and he blamed U.S. economic sanctions on countries like Cuba and Venezuela for the influx.
The United States has sanctioned both governments over what it considers the suppression of democracy. López Obrador suggested the sanctions are because of ideological differences and not to uphold human rights, and said the “sanctions and blockades cannot be maintained."d for doing little to stop the industrial-scale smuggling of migrants through Colombia. And López Obrador's administration has done little to stop migrants from hopping freight trains toward the U.S.
He called Friday for the U.S. “to remove blockades and stop harassing independent and free countries." He said there should be"an integrated plan for cooperation so the Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Ecuadorans, Guatemalans and Hondurans wouldn’t be forced to emigrate.”
