They remember the US expansionist policy and rape in the Americas

Signed by Juan José Gutierrez, Director of the Coalition for the Total Rights of Immigrants and National Counsellor of the Morena Party, the text addresses what this principle represents and introduces the June 9 celebration with a march to the convention center where the ninth summit is being held. from the Americas,

Over the course of the week, the world’s eyes will be on the Los Angeles Convention Center, and attention will be given to what happens during the deliberations, said Gutierrez, who made the remarks to Mexico’s President, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO). . around the seat.

In his forceful remarks, he said, AMLO called on President Joe Biden to break with the “Monroe Doctrine,” and make way instead for an era of Continental unity based on brotherhood and shared prosperity.

The activist explained what the Monroe Doctrine represented and how the theft, or territorial expansion of Washington, which began in 1803, during the administration of Thomas Jefferson, was one of his major legacies.

All this territorial expansion prompted President James Monroe to declare that from now on no European power would be allowed to acquire any geographical space on the American continent, since America would from then be “for Americans only.”

But he pointed out, in the restrictive and non-extensive sense of the term, that Americans mistakenly call themselves Americans.

In other words, under this exclusive perspective, the American continent will practically be the property of the successive governments of the United States of America and will not be shared with the peoples and governments of Latin America. Gutierrez noted that all of this happened just over 200 years ago.

Later came the numerous Mexico/United States wars that forced the Mexican Republic to cede more than half of its national territory to the Americans.

It is clear that America today is not as long ago as the seventeenth century. We have entered a new era. He said that the big decision that the summit hosts will have to make is whether to accept the AMLO initiative to lead the unity of the American continent on the basis of brotherhood and common prosperity.

He stressed that motivated by the political and economic prospects that this initiative opens to all Americans, we will support it from the street during each of the five days of deliberations.

We need to unite and organize ourselves because only then will we be able to convince both Congress and President Joe Biden to listen to us. The pro-immigration activist said it is important to express our political will, without which we will not be able to move forward to make immigration reform a reality.
