President-elect Donald Trump is contemplating appointing Kari Lake, a fervent supporter and former candidate for governor of Arizona, as the ambassador to Mexico. Lake has been vocal about her desire to address illegal immigration, referring to the influx of undocumented individuals as a “Bidenvasion” and advocating for their return to their home countries.
She supports reinstating Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, emphasizing the need for stricter border controls and a focus on reducing drug trafficking. Lake stated, “Dealing with the people who’ve poured in during the Bidenvasion, the 20 million people who have come in unvetted into our country, we must deal with them in order to save our homeland.”
Lake added, “We must send them back to their homeland. I’m talking about the people [who] came in unvetted in the past three and a half years.”
Lake said, “Fentanyl and meth, made with Chinese chemicals and produced in Mexican factories, are destroying our cities, ruining our quality of life, and leaving a vast trail of bodies in their wake.”
Trump recently claimed to have had a productive conversation with Mexico’s new president about collaboration to curb migration and drug inflow into the U.S. Trump wrote, “Just had a wonderful conversation with the new President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. She has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border.”
Trump said, “We also talked about what can be done to stop the massive drug inflow into the United States, and also, U.S. consumption of these drugs. It was a very productive conversation!”
Trump wrote, “Mexico will stop people from going to our Southern Border, effective immediately. THIS WILL GO A LONG WAY TOWARD STOPPING THE ILLEGAL INVASION OF THE USA. Thank you!!!”
Lake stated, “American workers are having their wages undercut and opportunities for advancement snapped up by never-ending waves of new arrivals. Our border towns and states are overwhelmed.”
Lake said, “We have a better way. We have to get back to the policies that President Trump had that were working and were keeping us safe. We’ve seen an incredible surge in people coming here illegally, and it’s not stopping.”
