Introduction
In Mexico, visa simulation has become an art form. The governor of Baja California celebrates what the US visa represents for her and millions of Mexicans, especially those from Baja California.
The Importance of the US Visa for Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila
Marina del Pilar Ávila, governor of a border state with the US, should not view the US visa as optional. She understands its necessity, though she and President Claudia Sheinbaum have not publicly acknowledged it.
The Visa Revocation Mystery
Governor Ávila must explain why her US visa was revoked, as it is her duty to do so. Failing to address this issue leads to multiple negative assumptions.
Mexico’s Loss of Territorial Control
Over the past 25 years, Mexico has lost control of its territory to criminal organizations. This issue transcends political ideologies, as all three major parties have failed to address it effectively.
The Need for Cooperation with the US
President Trump’s revelation that President López Obrador fears Mexican cartels highlights the need for cooperation between Mexico and the US. The key word is cooperation, as Mexico must allow US operations within its borders.
Opportunities with New US Ambassador
The arrival of Ambassador Ronald Douglas Johnson in Mexico presents an opportunity for President López Obrador to make changes in her government’s structure that interacts with the US.
- Reinstate the Subsecretary for North America position within the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores.
- Request the resignation of Roberto Velasco and the current ambassador to Washington.
It’s time to abandon the art of simulation, leaving it to telenovela actors.
