However, the issue that stood out the most in his speech was the agreements reached to address the migratory phenomenon, “with a humanistic approach and opportunities”.

And it is that he maintained that people “They are good by nature and are the circumstances that force them to migrate” to other countries in search of job opportunities, as is the case of many Mexican citizens, but also from Venezuela, Haiti and the Central American region.

In this sense, the Mexican president recognized the Democratic president for “respect” the millions of compatriots who live and work in the US, without being harassed by raids, unlike their predecessors, although he did not name names.

In addition, he took advantage of ask him to insist before the US Congress the “fair” immigration regulation for Mexican men and women who have spent years contributing to the development of their country.

For his part, López Obrador thanked the first Canadian Prime Minister for his “extraordinary and fraternal” program that consists of granting temporary work visas to day laborers and workers.

This program already benefits 25,000 Mexicans; It is a path to follow, that of orderly migration. The prime minister is a great ally.”
