May 12, 2023 Politics, Republicans

The Mexico Daily Post reports:

Without the United States, Mexico would be eating cat food from a can, said Republican Senator John Neely Kennedy, during the appearance of the head of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Anne Milgram.

“Our economy is 18 times the size of Mexico’s. We buy $400 billion from them every year. Without the American people, Mexico would be, figuratively speaking, eating cat food out of a can and living in a backyard store.” said the congressman.

During the hearing, the actions taken by the Agency and the Biden Administration to combat the fentanyl crisis in the country and the Mexican drug cartels were discussed.

The Daily Mail reports:



Mexico’s top diplomat Marcelo Ebrard said Republicans were deliberately stirring up hatred before the presidential election in 2024. ‘What is behind these ideas and those who promote them,’ Ebrard said. ‘Racism against Mexicans, and in general all Spanish-speakers.’

Meanwhile, the country’s president Andrés Manuel López Obrador told Mexicans in the U.S. to vote out members of Congress with such views. ‘Tell our countrymen, Hispanics, our American friends, not to vote for people with this very arrogant, very offensive and very foolish mentality,’ he said.
