This makes me really sad for Mexico.
Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador has won the country’s presidential election.

Just so you know, this is the same guy who recently said it was a “human right” to come to the United States.
“And soon, very soon — after the victory of our movement — we will defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world,” Obrador said.
He also suggested that immigrants “leave their towns and find a life in the United States.” It’s “a human right” that he will endlessly defend.
As you can see, he believes we’re supposed to let Mexico continue to allow people to come into our country illegally. Obrador believes people have a RIGHT to do that.
Anyway, HIM. THAT guy. He won.
Trump congratulated him.
Congratulations to Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on becoming the next President of Mexico. I look very much forward to working with him. There is much to be done that will benefit both the United States and Mexico!
