Mexico Stops 128 Illegal Immigrants U.S.-Mexico-Canada Deal Under Scrutiny

On Thursday, nearly 130 illegal immigrants were found in eastern Mexico attempting to enter the U.S. The illegals said Biden gave them a chance. Outsiders previously predicted that the Biden Administration‘s easing of immigration policies would trigger a massive wave of illegal immigrants. In addition, Mexico’s increased intervention in the energy market has sparked concern among allies such as the United States.

On Thursday, the day after U.S. President Joe Biden was sworn in, police in the Mexican state of Veracruz found a truck driver not wearing a seat belt and stopped the truck to find the compartment carrying 128 illegal immigrants smuggled in from Central America.

The illegal immigrants said they eventually wanted to enter the United States and that Biden’s inauguration gave them the opportunity to do so.

Honduran immigrant BRYAN JAVIER PACHECO: “We think Joe Biden gave this opportunity to get people to immigrate and to help their families to immigrate, and that’s what we’re doing.”

Since last week, about more than 8,000 illegal Honduran immigrants, into Guatemala and finally into the United States.

Outsiders believe that Biden’s promise to provide naturalization channels for illegal immigrants will lead to a wave of illegal immigration.

In addition to the immigration issue, the outside world is also concerned about Biden after taking office, the U.S. and Mexico relations how to develop.

Last month, the Mexican government introduced new regulations to tighten the right of private companies to import fuel and strengthen state-owned oil companies and power companies.

Currently, most of the fuel imported by private companies in Mexico comes from the United States, which also reduces Mexico’s dependence on U.S. fuel.

On Thursday, Mexican President Pellos said that there will be no change in energy policy.

Mexican President Pellos: “(The policy) will not change because we do not intend to continue the policy of dismantling the national companies.”

On Wednesday, Biden signed an executive order to indefinitely shelve the Keystone pipeline extension project with Canada.

In response, Pellos said he was in no hurry to speak with Biden.

Mexican President Pellos: “There is no urgency, (Biden’s) plan matches what we have done.”

Pellos’ intervention in the energy market has raised concerns among allies, including the United States. Investors expect the Biden administration, under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement signed into force last July, to be firmer in protecting corporate interests.
