(Jun. 11, 2024) — The Mexican presidential election was held June 2.
The winner was Claudia Sheinbaum. She defeated her nearest opponent (also a woman) by 30 points.
¡Felicidades, Claudia Sheinbaum!
She is set to take office on October 1 as Mexico’s first female president and first Jewish president.
Sheinbaum was the choice of the Mexican electorate and we respect that.
But how will Presidenta Sheinbaum be on immigration and related issues?
In her victory speech, she said the following about Mexican relations with the United States [my translations throughout article]:
“With the United States there will be a relationship of friendship, mutual respect and equality as it has been until now…”
I’m all for good relations with Mexico on issues of common interest. But notice what she said next:
“…and we will always defend the female and male Mexicans who are found on the other side of the border.”
What does the Mexican president-elect mean by “defending Mexicans” in the U.S.?
What she means is the government of Mexico will protect Mexican illegal aliens, meddle in U.S. immigration policy and attempt to win the loyalty of Mexican-Americans, including those born in the U.S.
How do I know? Because the Mexican government is already doing this. Every Mexican president, left, right or center, does this.
American politicians, after all, seem to have no problem with it.
For example, Oklahoma’s Republican Governor Kevin Stitt recently appointed a Mexican diplomat to a state labor task force. I kid you not. (You can contact Stitt here).
As I reported here at Border Hawk in October, Claudia Sheinbaum did some campaigning among Mexicans in Los Angeles, California.
There, on U.S. soil, she declared, “No border can divide the Mexican people.”
Actually, a border, by definition, should divide lands and peoples.
On May 19, in the third Mexican presidential debate, Sheinbaum greeted Mexicans living outside of Mexico: “particularly the fellow Mexicans who are in the United States, more than 30 million Mexicans….”
That figure would include Mexican-Americans born in the U.S who are considered Mexicans in Mexico.
Isn’t this a threat to American sovereignty, citizenship and nationality?
