When asked about the most important ways to deal with the surging migratory flows throughout The Americas and toward the United States, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (commonly known as AMLO) talks about addressing root causes, rather than deterring measures to prevent people from reaching the country's southern border.
Speaking to CBS News' 60 Minutes, AMLO criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson for telling President Joe Biden to pressure Mexico because "we are the United States." Calling him "disrespectful," the president added that "instead of seeking to dialogue and addressing the root causes they use Mexico to claim (the migratory crisis) is our fault, that it starts here."
