Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has revealed that he asked the U.S. government to grant visas to at least 10 million Hispanic migrants who have worked in the country for more than 10 years, along with an investment plan to promote "development" in Latin America and the Caribbean.

"Instead of pointing out that nothing is being done in Mexico to stop migrants, or unreasonably accusing our country, what U.S. lawmakers should be doing is approving a plan for the development of the peoples of Latin America," said López Obrador, also known as AMLO, in his press conference this Friday (January 5).
