‘It's a human right': Mexican Presidential Candidate On Mass Exodus To U.S.
2018-06-23
[Daily Caller] 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. (RELATED: Mag: Mexican Official Dreams Of Trump Assassination, But Most Urge Prudence)

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.

#13  It is seriously time to start talking about consequences for Mexico and Mexicans. They are no longer able to be acceptable neighbors. Remittances are the first step.

#12  Well, a right to leave Mexico could be a basic human right.

#11  Cut off ALL money transfers and Mexican versions of Halawas and see how fast this shit stops.


Mexico would have tens of thousands of troops on the border within 24 hours, all looking south.

Spoken like there's leader of a shithole country who doesn't have to worry about the problem of mass immigration.

#7  That sounds one helluva lot like a declaration of war. How about let's make it official, pendejo? We'll drop the first bombs on your presidential palace.

#4  America should announce, then perform a shut down of all-cross border traffic, money transfers, and trade for a week. Let's see how they react then

#3  A stop-gap measure. They will keep coming until you are gone. They must be stopped at the border.

#2  Stierscheisst. It's a human right to slaughter the invaders attempting to break into your home and take it from you. Mexico needs a good burning, to teach them the lesson that we are not their dumping ground for people.
