The White House responded to Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum’s remarks regarding a U.S. media campaign being carried out in Mexico to discourage illegal immigration, which she described as “discriminatory.”
“The President’s message is clear: individuals who try to enter our country illegally will be found, deported, and will never return to the United States,” White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly told The Epoch Times via email on April 22.
“The era of Joe Biden’s open border is over, which is why border encounters are lower than ever before.”
In recent weeks, videos of U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem have appeared on Mexican television during soccer games, on social media, and on the country’s most-watched programs.
Sheinbaum described the videos as “government propaganda” and said they were “discriminatory.”
The Mexican president said she had received several complaints from Mexican citizens through the National Council for the Prevention of Discrimination, or CONAPRED, who were unhappy with the content of the ads.
Sheinbaum said she sent letters to Mexican media outlets, via the Mexican Secretariat of the Interior and CONAPRED, asking them to remove the ads.
“But there is nothing legal that obliges the television station or the radio station to take it down. So we are going to put it in the law,” she said.
