Steve Cortes, president and founder of the League of American Workers (LAW), said Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is “mocking” America a with his proposals to address the U.S.-Mexico border crisis.
“The Marxist President of Mexico’s solution to stop the invasion: Blackmailing America into giving $20 billion a year to countries in Latin America & the Caribbean,” Cortes said in a post on X. “And making us give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens from Mexico who are living in America. He’s mocking us.”

A clip from 60 Minutes posted on X summarized President López Obrador’s demands to work with the United States include the U.S. giving $20 billion a year to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, lifting sanctions on Venezuela, ending the Cuban embargo, and legalizing all “law-abiding Mexicans living in the U.S.”
When asked what would happen if the U.S. does not comply with these requirements, Lopez Obrador said “the flow of migrants will continue.”
