Mexican Deputy's Bombshell Claim: Narcos and Traffickers with US Visas

Mexican Morena Deputy's Claim of Knowing Criminals with US Visas Fuels Visa Revocation Debate MEXICO CITY – A deputy from the Morena party in Baja California's state congress recently ignited a firestorm of controversy by publicly stating that he personally knows individuals involved in narcotics and human trafficking who possess US visas. This statement comes at a critical juncture, as discussions are underway regarding the possible revocation of the US visas held by Governor Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda and her husband. "Not everyone with a visa is an honest person," the deputy asserted during the session. "I know people of the worst kind who have these documents." His comments have fueled intense debate about the vetting process for US visas and the ethical implications for public officials. The governor's office has yet to respond directly to the deputy's allegations, but the incident highlights broader concerns about transparency and accountability in Mexican politics. The situation underscores the complex interplay between international relations, immigration policy, and domestic political dynamics in Mexico. While the governor's office has not yet issued a formal statement, the incident has already generated significant media attention and public discussion. The deputy's claims raise serious questions about the effectiveness of current visa screening processes and the potential for abuse.
