The Mexican ambassador to the United States, Esteban Moctezumaresponded to Senator John Kennedy for his expressions against Mexicans, describing them as “vulgar and racist”.
In a letter, the ambassador noted that people in Louisiana who live in a “backyard”due to economic, social or health problems, also deserve an apology.
“My initial reaction was to respond to you in just as low, uninformed, and arrogant a tone as you used, but it’s always better to use your brains than your guts, and I was reminded of the vibrant relationship that exists between Mexico y USA“held.
He indicated that they expect reconsideration from the senator, due to the moral level of his words. However, he considered that he should apologize to the citizens that he represents.
“I don’t think the people of Louisana feel represented by the vulgar and racist words you used. You are obligated to apologize to your own citizens, because what you said is not worthy of the state of Louisiana, known for being a Culture crucible“, he pointed out.
“In Mexico we are left with the image of a Louisiana admired in the world for its coexistence in diversity, which can only be achieved with generosity, inclusion and heart”said.
He recalled that last year there were 33 million American tourists who visited Mexico; the 800 billion dollars in bilateral trade; there are two million Americans living in Mexico and the Mexican food they eat in USA.
“Without the US, Mexicans would be eating cat food”
Republican Senator from Louisiana John Neely Kennedy He launched a comment about Mexico that has sparked controversy and has already generated a response from the Mexican authorities.
In a hearing on Wednesday in which the head of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) appeared, Anne Milgramabout the actions that are being carried out to reduce the fentanyl flux and to combat the Mexican drug cartels, Kennedy was insistent on the issue of sending US troops to Mexican soil to fight the drug lords.
“If the president [de México, Andrés Manuel] López Obrador, invited the Americans, the US military or law enforcement personnel to come to Mexico and work with them in Mexico, we could stop the cartels. Isn’t that a fact?”questioned the senator.
Milgram tried to evade the question, but Kennedy insisted: “I believe, Senator, that we can stop the cartels,” said the DEA chief.
“Have you suggested this to the president [Joe] Biden?”questioned the senator.
Angry at the official’s responses to her questions about why she and the president Joe Biden have not communicated with the Mexican president to get him to accept that US forces operate on Mexican soil against the cartels, Kennedy compared the economies of the United States and Mexico to demonstrate US “might”.
