The "Guadalupe Visa" on hold Verástegui explained that "the file I have been working on regarding the Guadalupe Visa proposal at this time deserves a pause." Furthermore, he confirmed that the document will no longer be delivered to Trump, as he had previously planned, as he will seek to present it directly to the U.S. Congress.

"In all things, there are limits." He also highlighted that the Mexican community "contributes more than 10% of the annual GDP in the United States," underlining its economic relevance.
