I had high hopes for Mexico’s future when Lopez Obrador won the Mexican Presidency on a progressive platform that sought to tackle corruption, inequality, and push back on President Trump’s anti-Mexican and anti-immigrant agenda. Instead, AMLO has become nothing more than Trump’s collaborator and has willingly executed Trump’s agenda on the other side of the border. Now, he travels to Washington in the middle of a pandemic that neither Mexico or the United States has adequately addressed for a photo op with a President who came to power demonizing the Mexican people as criminals, drug dealers, and rapists. This is a slap in the face to Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, and all of the migrants living just over the U.S. border on Mexican soil who are fighting for their lives as they await their chance at asylum in the United States.

They now detest socialism. Sorry Raul your time is soon over.
To bad they don’t detest drug money.
Raul Grijalva is a fool, as is his daughter, who he is grooming to succeed him.
I thought he groomed REGINA Romero. They are more like community agitators.
Didn’t this guy pay out A 48,395 taxpayer dollar severance package his office worker who complained of frequent drunkenness and a hostile workplace. Talk about a collaborator!
Ohh STFU Drunkjalva
Don’t you have a bottle to crawl into?
It is definitely time to elect someone new.
Few things in life are certain, but Raul triggering the trolls is one of them. What a pleasure it is watching them quake with rage, the little trolls.
This man needs to get in shape and maybe his thinking will be clearer!!
Mexico’s leadership, economic problems, ongoing corruption, increasing violence and COVIG19 concerns continue under failed President Obrador.
– The US minority of racists, bigots, white supremacists, their supporters, alt right reactionaries, bigots and out of state transplant supporters here in AZ continue to lie, whine with their dog whistles and rabid dog barks at Independents, progressives Grijalva and Democrats. They are typical and misguided and offer no realistic alternative to their opinions and choose to remain on the wrong side of American respect, justice, tolerance, freedom and peace.
– Trump’s uncoordinated, late and policial response, shameless mask wars of the COVIG19 Pandemic, his divisive culture war and distractions has resulted in much suffering, illness and deaths of Americans. The USA’s critical ongoing economic recession, staggering unemployment and a lack of a hopeful inclusive vision….has further exposed impeached, corrupt Trump, Sen. McConnell, lap dog McSally and the complicit GOP as FAILURES and remain a national and international embarrassment and disaster. VOTE 2020!
