    "Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) called for mass immigration to the United States during a speech Tuesday declaring it a “human right” for all North Americans.

    “And soon, very soon — after the victory of our movement — we will defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world,” Obrador said, adding that immigrants “must leave their towns and find a life in the United States.”

    He then declared it as “a human right we will defend,” eluniversal.com reports.

    While the election is not until July 1, Obrador is by far the frontrunner.

    Obrador in April delivered speech criticizing Trump and promising that Mexico will not become a “piñata” for any foreign government, Global News reports.

    The former mayor of Mexico City, Obrador holds progressive populist views. The 64-year-old ran unsuccessfully for president twice before, according to DW.

    Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has previously proposed granting amnesty to Mexican drug cartels. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added.

    To be sure, AMLO is only saying out loud what every other Mexican president believed in his heart; that America is Mexico's "social safety net" and that it's up to the US taxpayer to take care of Mexico's unemployable, destitute millions.

    Unsaid by AMLO is the implication of a mass migration of Mexicans to the US. The not-so-secret dream of every Mexican government that illegals flooding into America will eventually allow for a "return" of California and much of the American southwest to Mexico.

    What makes this socialist different, however, is his novel argument that entering the US illegally is actually a "human right." That's an opinion we could have a lot of fun with. One would assume if it was a "human right" to illegally enter the US, that it would then be a human right to enter Mexico - or any other country, for that matter.

    Of course, AMLO is just pushing leftist buttons by proclaiming this brand spanking new human right. He can't be serious, can he? It hardly matters. Trump will, I'm sure, have something to say about a mass migration of Mexicans to the US and if this socialist nutjob actually believes he can encourage that kind of invasion and not suffer any consequences, he doesn't know our president."

    If the American government won't stop this proposed invasion, it's time a citizens militia is formed and goes to the southern border. In two years I will be retired and I am in pretty good physical shape for a man my age and I will have the time then to volunteer for this duty. Enough already from these corrupt leaders of the sewer countries to our south.

    In the same day in a follow up interview (after the speech which has the quote that is being taken out of context in the OP article and being used to stoke fear in US conservatives), he also said this.

    Pide AMLO a Peña que actúe con urgencia y de inmediato sobre el tema de los niños mexicanos deportados de EU – AMLO

    Yes. The context is that he is wanting to defend the rights of migrants to migrate if they seek to do so. That doesn't mean he wants more migration to happen but in fact wants less. But the greater contextual narrative won't play well to the propaganda machine that wants to stoke fears of a Latino invasion.

    We already have had and are having a Latino invasion which crested about 1996 - 2000 but continues on at a lower rate.

    here are hard statistics from the Department of Homeland Security apprehensions data.

    Those successfully crossing are figured at up to 3 to 4 times the number of apprehensions.

    AMLO, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, as you know, is the former Mayor of Mexico City D.F. and twice before ran for President.

    He is a communist and probably is the number one communist in Latin America at this time since Fidel is dead, Raul has no charm at all, Hugo is dead, Maduro has no charm at all, Ortega in Nicaragua is a pedophile, Rafael Correa of Ecuador is out of office and is threatened with criminal charges, and Evo Morales of Bolivia seems to have consumed too much of the narcotics that he used to grow.

    So be sure that AMLO did say that it is a human right for Mexican to emigrate to the USA and be sure that they will want to if AMLO wins the election on July 1.

    And be sure that AMLO said that people must leave Mexico and find a new life in the USA.

    He did say all that. Mexican Presidential Candidate Calls Mass Migration To US A ‘Human Right’

    This presents an urgent problem for the USA because money will flee Mexico and people will also flee. AMLO will have six years to renationalize the oil industry. He might also move to subsidize small farmers and it is certain that he will try to increase welfare spending, possibly out of the money that he hopes to get from the nationalization of the oil industry.

    AMLO is the most charismatic communist in the world. Putin is a thug. Kim Jong Un is not likable. Xi Jinping smiles to your face and lies behind your back.

    AMLO's economic plans? The Economic Implications Of An AMLO Victory In Mexico

    Will AMLO give the cartels amnesty?

    The USA must close the border. AMLO's election can only mean chaos.

    You're welcome. Thank you very much for this thread! I have posted a couple of times about AMLO or LO. I am sick about this.

    It is possible that the polling is not good. It is so dangerous in Mexico that no one really says who they are for. LO's strength in the past two attempts was in Mexico City D.F.

    Cuban dissident Silvio Canto, who lives in Dallas, thinks that LO may be losing support to say something so stupid.

    Here is Silvio's comment:

    Now, let's analyze what he said.

    First, how would any of this help Mexico? My serious Mexican friends tell me they'd rather find prosperity and jobs in their country. Telling people to go north is another way of saying that AMLO's policies will not help Mexico keep Mexicans. Believe it or not, most Mexicans would rather stay home, or at least that's what they tell me.

    Second, is AMLO proposing to change Mexico's rigid immigration laws? Is he going to open Mexico's southern border and allow people in? How does AMLO define a "migrant"?

    Third, does he believe that the U.S. is just going to sit back and watch Mexicans cross the border?

    The bad news is that AMLO's remarks are irresponsible and not helpful. The good news is that he may be getting desperate, sensing that Mr. Anaya is gaining on him.

    It's why Trump said back during his campaign we should've invaded Mexico instead of Iraq. I could see some special forces going in to take out cartel leaders, if they haven't already.

    Well, their election is only a week away, and AMLO looks like he's got a double-digit lead in the polls, but been there, done that, in 2006 and 2012. You know if he somehow loses, he's going to say the election was rigged and the results illegitimate.

    He could be right, this is a Mexican election and he has promised amnesty for "his people". His latest garbage is just an appeal to Mexicans here to vote for him, even anchor babies can vote in their elections and that broke for his opponents the other two times.

    And, no, AMLO isn't proposing open borders for HIS country, you have to remember the far-left in Mexico are conquistadors, they consider much of the US Northern Mexico already.

    What I'm afraid of, if he wins next week, the upper class in Mexico will leave, both with their assets and their feet because AMLO will "give to the poor" (about half of the Mexican population) and that will make their corrupt nation fail totally. The American left don't understand that there really is no Mexican middle-class, it's made up of Spanish descendants ruling over the indigenous brown people. One of the most racist nations in the world.

    They understand all too well that their socialist agenda for this country depends on these millions of illegals.

    To do what...? Overrun us? What you could do immediately is get rid of the sanctuary cities.
