“We are conscious of the need to maintain good relations with the Unite...” — Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador Quote

We are conscious of the need to maintain good relations with the United States. We have a border of more than 3,000 kilometers; more than 12 million Mexicans live in the United States. It is our main economic-commercial partner.

Violence in Mexico has its origins in the lack of development and corruption.

Mexico and the U.S. are bound not only because of the common border, but by a shared culture and history.

We will pursue a relationship of friendship and co-operation with the United States, always rooted in mutual respect and in the defence of our fellow Mexicans who live and work honourably in that country.

We need to secure our border. We need to make sure there is a path to citizenship for those who are here. And we need to clear rules of the road for those who want to migrate to this country.

A system of cameras and censors are used along the border and interior to help detect the movement of illegal immigrants crossing through the dense brush.

Americans agree that we must secure our border and allow for fair, legal immigration. I am committed to doing my part, and I hope the Biden administration comes to the table to do the same.

The real problem is clean up the bureaucracy that people have to deal with to become a citizen the right way. And we must truly secure the border. We can't leave it porous.
