The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, announced this Wednesday that his Government will not accept migrants deported by the Government of Texas if the “draconian law” SB4, which was in effect for a few hours Tuesday amid divergent court rulings.
“If they tried to deport, for example, which is not their responsibility, we would not accept deportations, as I advance it, from the Government of Texas and we are not going to sit with our arms crossed.”said the president in his morning conference.
The Mexican president referred to the SB4 law, one of the most drastic anti-immigrant measures in the history of the United States, which would make it a crime for a foreigner to enter Texas irregularly, in addition to empowering state forces to carry out immigration arrests. and deportations.
Its application unleashed chaos this Tuesday, when the United States Supreme Court first allowed the law to be applied before hearing substantive arguments, but in the evening the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals suspended its entry into force.
Although López Obrador said he did not want “pass” what the Government of Mexico would do if the legislation is ultimately applied, he spoke out against.
“Of course, we are against this draconian law, completely opposed, contrary, to human rights, a completely dehumanized law, anti-Christian, unjust, violative of precepts, norms, human coexistence, not only international law, but even violative of the Bible,” he commented.
“And I say this because those who apply these unjust, inhuman measures, go to the temples, forget that the Bible speaks of treating the stranger well and, of course, of loving one’s neighbor. “They are some very hypocritical authorities, they protest with the Bible, and it is also a violation of international law,” he added.
Tensions between Mexico and the governor of Texas, Republican Greg Abbott, have grown since last year in the face of the border state’s increasing anti-immigrant measures, such as the buoys and the razor wire fence he placed in the Rio Grande (or Grande) River. to deter migrants from crossing.
Just last February 20, López Obrador labeled “politics” the military camp that Abbott ordered built next to the river. The president has attributed the actions in Texas to the fact that this year the presidential elections of Mexico and the United States coincide.
