Ron DeSantisGovernor of Florida, USA, assured that the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador must be held accountable for the way in which it is dealing with the problem of organized crime in Mexico.
At a fundraising event at the Siuox center on Saturday, May 13, the Florida governor claimed that Mexican drug cartels “are killing too many Americans.”
“We need to hold the cartels accountable and we need to hold the Mexican government accountable because they are allowing this to happen a lot,” he said. The governor of Florida also criticized the immigration policy implemented by the Mexican government.
The Florida governor’s statements came a day after accusing President López Obrador of “having a disaster” in his security policy.
“You have the Mexican president (AMLO) who is criticizing Florida for enacting laws against illegal migration, he has a disaster on his hands, he has cartels that are totally out of control, ruling his country,” said Republican DeSantis.
He added that the “millions of people who come to our country (USA), are all passing through their country (Mexico). What kind of country allows millions of people to cross like this?”
In the morning conference on May 11, President López Obrador criticized Florida’s restrictions before the end of Title 42 in the United States that allowed authorities to expeditiously expel any foreigner who crossed its borders illegally. This rule expelled 2.8 million migrants.
Therefore, the rule called Title 8, which has historically governed migration, came into force again. Fearing a greater migratory flow at the borders, President López Obrador ordered a reinforcement with elements of the National Guard.
“What the governor of Florida did, is not by chance, that migrants will no longer be able to work in Florida. How are they going to do without migrants? But it is politicking, it is politicking”, commented the head of the Executive.
He pointed out that “the governor of Texas is in the same plan and legislators. So, you have to act cautiously, avoid there being a confrontation, because they bet on that, they would like, right?, that a greater conflict would be generated ”.
“So, we have to be vigilant to, above all, avoid violence, and we can, informing people, protecting migrants, pointing out the provocateurs, that there are, with preventive measures, and being there pending,” he mentioned. .
On May 10, DeSantis signed into law a law requiring Florida businesses to use the employment verification program. E-Verify to detect undocumented workers.
In addition to increasing public funds to transfer illegal immigrants to states governed by the Democratic Party.
The Secretary of Foreign Relations, Marcelo Ebrard affirmed on Friday, May 12, that the migratory flow has decreased after the end of Title 42 of the United States.
“In a few words, to summarize, the flow is decreasing to this day, at least until now, we have not had confrontations or situations of violence on the border,” the foreign minister assured in a conference.
Ebrard pointed out that the National Guard, which was added to the more than 25,000 elements of the Mexican Armed Forces that participate in the immigration plan at the borders, has acted with “strict adherence to human rights.”
