Mexican Politics, Female President: Mexico elected its first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum, with a record-breaking 60% of the votes, marking a significant shift in Mexican politics. She is expected to take a more leftist approach than her predecessor.
History repeats itself, and during uncertain times, looking to the past can provide perspective and comfort. This week, Mexico made history by electing its first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum, marking a significant shift in Mexican politics. Amid record-setting violence and a contentious election season, Sheinbaum secured a landslide victory with an estimated 60% of the votes. Her win represents the largest vote percentage for any candidate in Mexico's history, giving her a strong political mandate as she enters office. Despite her liberal populist background, observers expect her to take a more leftist approach than her predecessor. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is implementing a mass amnesty program for approximately 350,000 migrants, releasing them into the country with no legal requirement to check-in with authorities. This news adds to the current political climate of instability and uncertainty. By examining historical events and current news through the lens of the Bible and other periods in history, as Mike Slater from Politics by Faith suggests, we can gain valuable insights and find hope during challenging times.
Mexican Elections Impact: New President Sheinbaum may face economic challenges due to promised welfare expansions and potential constitutional reforms, while violence marked the election season
The Mexican elections resulted in a victory for Claudia Sheinbaum, who is expected to distance herself from some of AMLO's controversial policies and potentially pass sweeping constitutional reforms with a supermajority. However, her promises to expand welfare policies could negatively impact the economy, leading to a tumble in the Mexican peso and a fall in the local stock market. The election season was marked by violence, with cartels focusing their attacks on local elections, making the label of "peaceful elections" a subjective definition. Despite the turbulent political climate, Sheinbaum declared Mexico to be a democratic country.

Emergency Preparedness, Border Policy: Preparing for emergencies with personalized medication kits like JACE and staying informed about policy changes, such as the US southern border amnesty, are crucial for individual and societal well-being.
Being prepared for potential emergencies, including difficult access to necessary medications, is crucial. The JACE case, a personalized emergency medication kit, offers a solution by providing five essential antibiotics addressing common and deadly bacterial infections. The process to obtain a JACE case is simple, with online evaluation, licensed pharmacy delivery, and ongoing consultation handled by the company. Meanwhile, at the US southern border, there has been a reported mass amnesty under the Biden administration, with approximately 350,000 migrants allowed into the US interior since 2022. This policy change resulted in the dismissal of over 100,000 migrant asylum cases in 2022, a significant increase from previous years. While these two topics may seem unrelated, they both serve as reminders of the importance of preparation and being informed in various aspects of life.
US Asylum Cases: An increase in US asylum cases to over 1 million has led to a backlog of 3.5 million, causing reported crimes and restarting removal proceedings, prompting a potential immigration executive order from President Biden to cap daily encounters and possibly close the southern border.
The number of asylum cases in the US under the current administration has seen a significant increase compared to the previous year, with over 1 million cases recorded between 2023 and the current year. Out of these, approximately 77% of migrants have stayed in the US, leading to a backlog of 3.5 million cases. This situation has resulted in an uptick in reported crimes, forcing agents to restart removal proceedings, which can take years. Amidst this, President Biden is expected to issue an immigration executive order this week, which may cap daily migrant encounters at 4,000 and potentially close the southern border once that threshold is reached. This move comes as the administration seeks to address border security concerns, which is a significant political vulnerability for the president in the upcoming 2024 presidential campaign. Critics argue that the White House is only acting now due to poll numbers and the approaching November election.
