AND
s a moment The arrival of the new president Claudia Sheinbaum to the government of Mexico is important. You have the opportunity to make proposals on those matters that require your attention. The immigration issue is one of them. AMLO’s initial proposal was totally different from what he was forced to implement in the face of Donald Trump’s threats to apply tariffs on Mexican products. The most questioned decision was to use the National Guard to guard the borders, which was immediately interpreted as a way to criminalize migrants, converted into enemies who require public force to prevent them from entering the country. That was a wrong and dangerous strategy, because that security body is not qualified to have contact with migrants, which led to absolutely reprehensible confrontations. That security group must be removed. On the other hand, it is urgent to review the composition of the National Migration Institute (INM), which has been a center of corruption. These are personnel who have nothing less than the responsibility of admissions to the country, but without going through the slightest trust control.
The INM must be directed and managed entirely by personnel qualified in human rights. This is the orientation that will allow them to understand that people leave their countries out of absolute necessity, that the horizon of a new life leads them to face everything. type of tragedies. Of course, there cannot be detention centers for migrants, but rather shelters waiting for their documents, equipped with all the facilities for hygiene, food, care for infants, whether they come with family or alone, in which case they should never be repatriated; It is the Mexican State that must take care of them, that is, education, health, psychological care, etc. There is an urgent need for public programs taught in all media that make explicit this vision close to human rights, essential to overcome the ignorance of this phenomenon that leads to unacceptable demonstrations of xenophobia and racism.
It was quite clear that the positions of the Democrats in the figure of Kamala Harris and the Republican Donald Trump in relation to the situation of migrants in the neighboring country did not raise anything new, beyond Trump’s laughable and pathetic sayings that Haitian migrants ate the pets of Ohio citizens, which has served to give away more material to comedians
as David Brooks says. This means that Mexican, Central American or other migrants who intend to reach the northern neighbor will find the same reception they have had until now. It matters little if they are Democrats or Republicans. The reality is that the immigration phenomenon is used by both for their own interests.
Therefore, we must think about how to reverse the trend of forced migration. Without a doubt, it requires transforming the conditions that generate it, that is, changes in the development model of the countries whose governments encourage them to leave because their oligarchies linked to international ones strip people of their natural resources, grant mining concessions to foreigners. , they sign free trade agreements that subject countries to unpayable complaints, banks whose parent companies take the profits by decapitalizing the countries, etc. Elites that prevent a change of course, exercising the now famous lawfare and, of course, calling on international powers to intervene in the country. It is possible to confirm what has been said when we observe the difficulties of the Mexican government, which is trying to reverse the previous model, and specifically with the judicial reform, whose members are the very clear representation of a model that requires substantial changes. The internal elites are furiously opposed, reaching dangerous extremes, and the intervention of the United States itself cannot be ignored, through some senators, the media and Ambassador Ken Salazar himself, expressing their disagreement, insisting that the judicial reform will affect to the T-MEC, to democracy, etc.
And this is another aspect that must be dealt with, the United States, a country that has assumed the role of police of the free world
. At the end of World War II, he formed a global military machine to launch against the supposed soviet threat
despite the fact that there was not the slightest data for it, but he convinced the Western world and launched a crusade against the Soviets, the socialists, the communists, the Russians
those who had to be destroyed (Baran and Sweezy). And the first country to fall under his crusade was, of course, Cuba. It was unacceptable for a small country to leave its area of influence and even less were they going to allow it to become a successful model, they would be the great danger that could be infected. Therefore, it had to be destroyed. The rest is sadly known history in Latin America, Asia and Africa.
However, history has not ceased, this crusade, now supported by the genocidal arm of Israel, continues to this day, because, apparently, all countries are threats and we must destroy the Russians, the Chinese, the Palestinians, Iranians, Lebanese, Syrians, Yemenis, etc.
