It is HER, not the elected President, not Claudia, as a sign of respect, people say HER.

“Who did you vote for?” I asked.

The waitress respectfully told me, “For HER.”

I asked a taxi driver the same thing, “For HER.”

At night we went to a taco stand, and some people whom the current president of Mexico refers to as ‘fifís’ made comments about me and about the taxi driver accompanying me, as we were dressed in shorts and sandals.

“They are probably ‘chairos’. Who did you vote for?” they asked.

We didn’t pay attention to them. They kept insisting. The taxi driver told me, “calm down, I’ll handle it.” At the next provocation, he stood up angrily and told them, “Yes, I voted for HER.” And the waiters approached, and the well-known car attendants known as “viene, viene” did the same. They kicked them out of the place.

Back in the car, the driver told me, “Now they are screwed, we are more than them.”

This is the level of expectation provoked by the overwhelming victory of HER, the elected president Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. A heiress of the current president Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his social reform policies.

“It is a concern and an issue among the members of the U.S. Congress,” Congressman Lou Correa told Parriva. “She is a strong woman, with a high approval rating.”

“Claudia will bring great hope and a strong position to the DACA youth and immigration policy,” says Armando Vázquez-Ramos, President of the California-Mexico Studies Center.

For Correa, immigration reform is vital for both countries.

“A delegation from the Congressional Latino Caucus will travel and we hope to meet with the elected president. We have great respect for the current president and hope to build the same with HER,” says Congressman Correa.

SHE takes office this October and elections are held in the United States in November. Both current President Joe Biden and Donald Trump have threatened to strengthen immigration policy, but they will face HER.

“What we need are economic agreements that generate benefits in both countries, not a war,” says Correa.

I asked an employee at an Oxxo, a retail supermarket chain in Mexico.

“Do you all feel very empowered now?”

And she laughed.

“Yes, I voted for HER.”

Lou Correa: “Immigration policy is hypocrisy. The United States needs Mexico and Mexico needs the United States.”
