President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s critique of the Florida statute – which Mexico asserts could potentially lead to migrant discrimination – signifies his second deviation from Mexico’s usual policy of non-interference in foreign political affairs. Earlier this year, in March, he openly labeled Peru’s government as racist and illegitimate. “We could not stand by in silence,” expressed López Obrador about the Florida regulation during a press briefing on Monday.

The law supports DeSantis’ migrant relocation program and curtails social services for immigrants without stable legal status. López Obrador advocated for the withdrawal of votes for those showing disdain towards migrants. The law endorsed by DeSantis last month broadens the obligation for businesses employing more than 25 individuals to utilize E-Verify, a federal system confirming the legality of a potential employee’s work status in the U.S. The law also mandates that Medicaid-affiliated hospitals incorporate a citizenship inquiry in their intake forms, a measure critics argue could deter undocumented immigrants from seeking medical assistance. According to a statement released on Saturday by Mexico’s Department of Foreign Affairs, the Florida law “will infringe upon the human rights of thousands, including Mexican children, and could foster an atmosphere that might culminate in hate crimes against the migrant community.” Table of Contents Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Florida Immigration LawWhy did Mexico’s president call on Americans not to vote for Ron DeSantis?More about Florida Immigration Law Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Florida Immigration Law Why did Mexico’s president call on Americans not to vote for Ron DeSantis?
