The White Home responded to Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum’s remarks concerning a U.S. media marketing campaign being carried out in Mexico to discourage unlawful immigration, which she described as “discriminatory.”
“The President’s message is evident: people who attempt to enter our nation illegally will likely be discovered, deported, and can by no means return to the USA,” White Home deputy press secretary Anna Kelly informed The Epoch Instances by way of electronic mail on April 22.
“The period of Joe Biden’s open border is over, which is why border encounters are decrease than ever earlier than.”
In current weeks, movies of U.S. Secretary of Homeland Safety Kristi Noem have appeared on Mexican tv throughout soccer video games, on social media, and on the nation’s most-watched applications.
Sheinbaum described the movies as “authorities propaganda” and stated they had been “discriminatory.”
The Mexican president stated she had obtained a number of complaints from Mexican residents by the Nationwide Council for the Prevention of Discrimination, or CONAPRED, who had been sad with the content material of the adverts.
Sheinbaum stated she despatched letters to Mexican media shops, by way of the Mexican Secretariat of the Inside and CONAPRED, asking them to take away the adverts.
“However there’s nothing authorized that obliges the tv station or the radio station to take it down. So we’re going to put it within the legislation,” she stated.
