CONTEXT

  • The deal with Mexico to curb illegal migration opened an era of great cooperation between the two nations, something that they did not see for decades.
  • Washington had announced that it reached an agreement with its southern neighbour to curb illegal migration flows from Central America to the US.
  • Under the deal, Mexico will deploy its National Guard throughout the country and, especially, to its southern border and work to dismantle human smuggling.
  • The United States will also return asylum seekers, crossing its southern border, to Mexico where they will wait for decisions in their cases.
  • The migration deal came just days before new US tariffs on imports from Mexico were supposed to come into force.
