Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is seemingly a big fan of Joe Biden, or his border policies, at least.
During the summit in Mexico City this week, he thanked Biden for not building any more of the border wall.
Naomi Lim reports at the Washington Examiner:
Mexican president thanks Biden for not building ‘1 meter’ of border wallMexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador used his microphone as host of the 10th North American Leaders’ Summit to criticize former President Donald Trump and other Republicans over their immigration policies amid a surge in illegal border crossings.During his opening remarks at the post-summit press conference, Lopez Obrador expressed his gratitude toward President Joe Biden for being the first U.S. president “in a very long time” who “has not built even 1 meter of wall” between their respective countries. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was also present.”We thank you for that, sir,” Lopez Obrador said Tuesday in Mexico City, according to translators. “Although the conservatives don’t like it.”Lopez Obrador, who has repeatably spoken frankly to Biden in front of reporters during the two-day summit, went on to encourage his counterpart “to regularize the migration situations of millions of Mexicans” who have been working and living in the United States and “contributing to the development of that great nation.”During a roughly 24-minute response to one reporter’s question, a much longer answer than any of those provided by the other two leaders, Lopez Obrador criticized Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) for busing and flying immigrants around the country.”This is completely inhuman,” he said. “This should not be done.”
Apparently, no one told him that Biden also flies immigrants all over the country.

You couldn’t make this up.
Of course, there is one wall that Biden is building. The one around his beach house.
Gotta keep the riff-raff out, right?
