If Latin America is the backyard of the United States, then Mexico is its gateway. Donald Trump’s administration made this clearer than ever, strengthening Mexico’s ties of subordination and dependence on its neighbor to the north. The first few months of the Biden administration prove that not much has changed.
Mexican President López Obrador and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris have agreed to “cooperate” on migration. These plans represent continuity with Trump-era border and immigration policy.
The Mexican president has proposed a modified version of the Bracero Program implemented near the end of World War II. It would allow super-exploited Mexican migrant laborers to work in the United States without full rights.
The Anticapitalist Left Front (FIA) will be running candidates in Mexico’s national elections next summer. Its main candidate is a public sector worker who was fired and fought successfully to get her job back.
In Cancún, Mexico, the police opened fire on 2,000 demonstrators who had gathered at the City Hall to protest against the latest instance of femicide. Here, we republish a statement by the socialist feminist group Pan y Rosas.
Facing increased femicides, continuing violence against women, and the impunity of those responsible, the mothers of victims, along with feminist groups and organizations, have seized the offices of the National Human Rights Commission in Mexico City, Mexico. The government has responded by condemning and criminalizing the protesters.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has become friends with President Trump. No longer is AMLO attempting to fake standing against the northern neighbor; the subordination of Mexico continues unabated. Only class struggle on both sides of the border will help the Mexican worker.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) ran as a progressive who would stand up to Donald Trump. He has spent his presidency betraying those promises. But the meeting last week was nonetheless a low point. We need an alliance between the Mexican working class and the Black community in the United States in the fight against racism.
In recent days, protesters in Mexico have taken to the streets demanding justice for Giovanni López, a 30-year-old construction worker murdered by cops for not wearing a face mask.
After protests spread to hundreds of cities across the United States, politicians from both parties are blaming “outside agitators” from other states. This is an absurd lie — but capitalist politicians often repeat it. Two examples from Mexico.
