The CMSC advocates for AMLO to plea for Trump to free all detained minors, re-open DACA and a COVID-19 plan for the Americas
Since Mexico’s president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has agreed to visit Donald Trump, despite the advice from several prominent figures and the loud opposition from the 40 million Mexicans that reside in the U.S., the CMSC has officially requested for him and Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard in a letter today, to advocate for the following agreements during their meeting:
- That president Trump follows the Supreme Court’s order to release all immigrant minors detained by the U.S. and the reunification with their parents in the U.S. immediately;
- That president Trump follows the Supreme Court’s order to re-establish the DACA program, allowing for thousands of eligible applicants that have been denied DACA protection since September 5, 2017, and to approve Advance Parole travel authorization for Dreamers to study abroad, for employment opportunities and expedited approval for humanitarian reasons when relatives are critically ill or facing imminent death. After 2 weeks since the court’s order, Trump and USCIS officials continue threaten another attempt to kill the DACA program and to defy the June 18, 2020 Supreme Court order.
- That both presidents reverse their inept response to the Coronavirus crisis and exercise leadership by agreeing to establish a long-term continental plan to abate the COVID-19 pandemic, in collaboration with all nations in the Americas.
Both presidents have a chance to make this questionable meeting more than a political photo-opportunity by addressing key policy issues of great importance.

Migrantes piden que AMLO no visite EU
Por: Ariadna Garcia ~ El Universal ~ Junio 28, 2020
Migrantes mexicanos en Estados Unidos, así como el congresista demócrata Jesús Chuy García cuestionaron al presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador por su intención de reunirse con su homólogo estadounidense, Donald Trump.
Se trata, expusieron, del presidente de Estados Unidos que más ha insultado a la comunidad mexicana, por lo que una reunión con él no tiene justificación alguna.
El congresista demócrata, de origen mexicano, Jesús Chuy García, consideró decepcionante que el Mandatario federal haya accedido a visitar al presidente que más ha insultado a los mexicanos y a los que tienen raíces aztecas... Leer mas

Consejo Diplomático para Marcelo Ebrard
Por: Bernardo Sepulveda ~ La Jornada ~ 28 de Junio, 2020
Estimado Marcelo,
En mi calidad de embajador emérito de México, me permito transmitir a usted las razones por las cuales considero que la visita del presidente López Obrador a Washington, para entrevistarse con el presidente Trump, es altamente inconveniente para el interés nacional.
No existe, a mi juicio, un fundamento político que explique una visita de esta naturaleza.
Tampoco existe un motivo que justifique la oportunidad de la visita, en momentos en que se lleva a cabo un proceso electoral en Estados Unidos y en donde la asistencia del presidente López Obrador a una ceremonia irrelevante se habrá de interpretar como un apoyo a la relección de Donald Trump. Los efectos políticos negativos que se producirán en México y en Estados Unidos, de realizarse esa visita ... Leer Mas

Frente Indigena condena que AMLO visite a Trump
Por: Redacción ~ La Jornada ~ 28 de Junio, 2020
El Frente Indígena de Organizaciones Binacionales (FIOB), la primera organización social binacional en la historia entre México y Estados Unidos, expresó un “total rechazo” a la visita del Presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador con Donald Trump a quien calificó como “el presidente más racista y antimigrante en los tiempos más recientes de este país”.
En un comunicado dirigido al mandatario mexicano y a otras organizaciones de migrantes mexicanos, el FIOB declara su “indignación” ante la visita y advierte que realizarán actos de protesta para denunciarla si se lleva a cabo.
“Sr. presidente López Obrador, cómo es posible que usted que ganó las elecciones en México con una plataforma progresista y de cambio para México se preste a ser un colaborador con Donald Trump, quien desde que era candidato no ha escondido su racismo y odio contra nosotros los mexicanos que vivimos en los Estados Unidos”, pregunta....

Visita de AMLO: trampa de Trump
Por: Maria Luisa Arredondo ~ Latino California ~ Junio 28, 2020
Para millones de mexicanos que vivimos en Estados Unidos, la próxima visita de López Obrador a Trump representa una prueba más del menosprecio que ha mostrado el tabasqueño hacia nuestra comunidad desde que llegó a Palacio Nacional.
Además de los recortes draconianos a los consulados y de haber desaparecido programas de gran utilidad como el Paisano y el Tres por Uno, López Obrador ha guardado un silencio ominoso ante los ataques y la persecución que sufren millones de mexicanos en Estados Unidos. Ni las deportaciones masivas, ni las separaciones de familias, ni las detenciones de niños en condiciones infrahumanas han logrado que el presidente de México se solidarice con sus connacionales y exprese ante la Casa Blanca su rechazo hacia esas políticas.
Todo lo contrario. Desde que AMLO llegó a la presidencia ha optado por evitar el más mínimo conflicto con Trump, lo que lo ha llevado a aceptar todas sus exigencias... Leer Mas

El vocero de los Latinos Demócratas: "No creo que una visita de Lopez Obrador le beneficia a Trump"
Por: Hernan Sarquis ~ La Politica Online ~ Junio 25, 2020
En entrevista con LPO, cuatro expertos en elecciones, análisis de riesgo, y diplomacia opinan sobre la gira de AMLO por Washington.
Hace más de un año LPO adelantó que durante la cumbre CEO Dialogue en Mérida, Andrés Manuel López Obrador ofreció al enviado de Donald Trump --el representante comercial de EU, Wilbur Ross-- una visita del mexicano a Washington. Fuentes de la cancillería mexicana han insistido en que una visita de AMLO a la Casa Blanca podría impulsar la candidatura de Trump en EU.
La idea es que AMLO, quien ganó la elección presidencial de 2018 con más del 53% del voto, es un líder regional en Latinoamérica con altos niveles de aprobación entre los latinos de EU. El problema con esa tesis es que Trump tiene un nivel de desaprobación del 70% entre este sector de la población estadounidense. No hay líder o figura latina que pueda mover esas cifras a favor del presidente de EU. La pregunta entonces es, ¿quién gana en la cumbre AMLO-Trump?... Leer Mas

Why the United States needs a plan for the Coronavirus in the Americas
By Trevor Sutton, Dan Restrepo, and Joel Martinez Center for American Progress – May 5, 2020
The coronavirus pandemic is challenging the capabilities and resources of governments around the world, and the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean are no exception. The region’s widespread poverty, weak health infrastructure, and fragile economies mean its residents could suffer greatly if political leaders do not act swiftly to mitigate the crisis. To date, countries’ responses have varied from strict lockdown measures to relaxed approaches lacking urgency to outright denial. Of particular concern, the two most populous Latin American countries—Brazil and Mexico—have been the slowest to mobilize to contain the spread of the virus. In Venezuela, meanwhile, the pandemic has begun magnifying an already horrific humanitarian situation.
Although the United States faces an escalating health crisis at home, it cannot afford to ignore the progressing spread of COVID-19 among its neighbors in the Americas. Many countries in the region are closely linked to the United States economically, politically, and with regard to movement of peoples. The uncontrolled spread of the novel coronavirus in the region is likely to hamper the United States’ efforts to contain the pathogen, impede domestic economic recovery, and intensify the political instability and human suffering that have contributed to high levels of forced migration in recent years...

The most oppressed minority in the United States and in the Americas has always been and continues to be Native Americans
By: Dr. Frank Garcia Berumen
The recent protests related to the death of George Floyd have re-ignited the indignation of the long history of racism in the United States. The media coverage, policy commentaries, and demonstrations, have focused on the racism against African-Americans. However, racism is just not just an African-American experience and issue, but one experienced by every ethnic group. Long before the arrival of African-Americans, Europeans invaders had and have continued to vent, their most horrendous policies of racism and annihilation against Native Americans. However, the nation lives in a permanent state of historical amnesia in regards to the plight of indigenous peoples.
The oppression of Native Americans by Europeans began the first day that Christopher Columbus landed in the American continent on October 21, 1492, in the island of Guanahani (the Taino name), which today is part of the Bahamas. The native people who occupied this island were the Arawak, Taino, and Lucayan. Columbus and his men set about enslaving them, raping the women, stealing their valuables, and taking over the lands through murder, pillage, and plunder. Europeans also brought diseases such as smallpox, bubonic plague, chickenpox, cholera, etc. which killed millions. The brutal policy of the Spanish in the Caribbean resulted in the extinction of indigenous people in the area within twenty years... Read More
