This morning I joined Griff Jenkins on Fox & Friends  to weigh in on DHS claims that talks with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador were 'productive.'

The US is in a position of weakness against Mexico. Lopez Obrador is using immigration to leverage for more resources and make demands of the US. He is even calling for US investment in root causes like Cuba and Venezuela instead of border walls.

Mayorkas and his CBP One humanitarian parole program has been a failure. Migrants are not remaining in Mexico and using the program. Instead, they are crossing by the thousands each day straining major cities all over the US.

Yesterday's meeting was about Ukraine and elections.

The last thing the Biden Adm wants is to implement strict policies at the border and turn their base against them. They want Mexico to do their bidding.
