Mexico's President Andres Manuel López Obrador has condemned Texas's anti-migrant buoys, calling the border enforcement tactic on the Rio Grande river 'inhumane' after bodies were found in the waters that flow along the US-Mexico border.
“No one should be treated like this. That kind of treatment does not come from a good person; only by being good can we be happy,” Lopez Obrador said at his daily press briefing on Thursday. “Abbott shouldn’t act like that; it’s inhumane,” he also said, directly attacking Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who has touted the new barrier as a protective measure for his state and previously refused to remove it.
” López Obrador on Thursday warned that the buoys violated Mexico’s “sovereignty and human rights,” adding that “we are already demanding that these buoys be removed.” He also said that authorities were working to determine the deceased’s nationalities. When first announcing the barrier in June, Abbott, a longtime critic of the Biden administration’s border policies, said he intended to float the first 1,000 feet of the barrier in the river near the city of Eagle Pass in Maverick County.
