Is Mexico really choosing to help for political reasons? My previous article talked about Mexico “helping” the united States with the amount of refugees for political reasons to not hurt Mexico’s and United State’s relationship. Though I found a new article from Mexico News Daily saying that it is not for political reason. The article, “Mexico Rejects US plan to extend ‘stay in Mexico’ policy for asylum seekers”, starts with announcing that Mexico does not agree with with the United States plan for refugees to stay in Mexico while they wait for approval to migrate to the US. They continue by saying the Mexican government is trying to help them by taking in returned refugees who were in dangerous border cities. They went to coordinate with the United states to help their people not to only please those in the politics. This article was also posted after the New York Time’s article and even quotes it themselves to try and further push their evidence to their point.
It is not fully disagreeing with the New York Times article, but it does say that the New York Times had things thought to be happening for the wrong reasons. Mexico News Daily is also unbiased and using strong emotional words. Again, in the headline this article uses the word “rejects” maybe not the strongest emotional word, but they could have used something more milder like deny, which to me seems less intense. I also believe the image they use in their headline on the page is more emotional and close to a false connection. It is related because it is migrants marching, but it is all black and white except for the family, has lots o children who look exhausted carrying heavy things across a dirty train track. That just screams “give us empathy”. SO both the articles I had were defiantly biased in a way.
