Re: NYT: Mexico Agreed To Take Action In Immigration MONTHS Before Trump Announced Tariffs

Posted by Easy on Sat Jun 8 15:59:47 2019, in response to NYT: Mexico Agreed To Take Action In Immigration MONTHS Before Trump Announced Tariffs, posted by JayZeeBMT on Sat Jun 8 15:33:35 2019.

The article states that they reached an agreement months ago, but that the recent talks expanded and accelerated that agreement.

Officials involved with talks said they began in earnest last Sunday, when Kevin K. McAleenan, the acting secretary of homeland security, met over dinner with Mexico’s foreign minister. One senior government official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the closed-door negotiations that took place over several days, insisted that the Mexicans agreed to move faster and more aggressively to deter migrants than they ever have before.

Their promise to deploy up to 6,000 national guard troops was larger than their previous pledge. And the Mexican agreement to accelerate the Migrant Protection Protocols could help reduce what Mr. Trump calls “catch and release” of migrants in the United States by giving the country a greater ability to make asylum-seekers wait in Mexico.
