(Getty Images    <\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden missed an opportunity to speak with his Mexican counterpart last week about the border crisis and growing violence cartel. Instead, he chose instead to discuss &#8220;diversity, equity, and inclusion&#8221;  &#8220;climate change&#8221; initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>One day after Biden&#8217;s Jan. 9 sitdown with Mexican president Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador, the White House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2023\/01\/10\/declaration-of-north-america-dna\/\">released<\/a> A list of six &#8220;commitments&#8221; The meeting was a success. A pledge to advance is at the top. &#8220;diversity, equity, and inclusion,&#8221; with Biden  L\u00f3pez Obrador vowing to &#8220;promote racial justice,&#8221; &#8220;expand protections for LGBTQI+ individuals,&#8221; and &#8220;foster Indigenous-led growth.&#8221; A commitment is second on the list. &#8220;tackle the climate crisis&#8221; And finally, implement &#8220;ambitious cuts to emissions.&#8221;\u00a0 National security and immigration, however, ranked much lower\u2014Biden listed those issues last and third to last, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s decision not to prioritize equity in his Mexico meeting was made amid a crisis at the southern border. One Republican lawmaker said that the incident occurred during a time of ongoing violence. <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> Biden&#8217;s emphasis on diversity is inexcusable.\u00a0Illegal immigration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/10\/24\/1130841306\/new-record-in-border-patrol-apprehensions\">soared to record levels last year<\/a>With migrant arrests exceeding 2.3 million, this is a 37 percent increase over the 1.7million seen in 2021.
