MEXICO CITY - Mexico will help to regulate the flow of Central American migrants passing through its territory to the United States, but the root causes behind the phenomenon must be tackled, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Monday.
Most of the people caught at the frontier trying to enter the United States illegally come from three violent and impoverished countries: Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. Earlier this year, Mexico handed out humanitarian visas liberally, but reined in the program after a surge in applications. The institute said from next month it was planning to encourage people to apply for visas in their home countries.Detentions at the U.S. border have surged in recent months, angering Trump and putting pressure on Lopez Obrador to find a solution that will prevent a shutdown of the frontier to the market for 80 percent of Mexico’s exports.
“That’s what we’re doing. But serenely, calmly, without a commotion and with great prudence and responsibility.”It quickly became clear that any plan to cut aid to Central America would face strong objections from members of the U.S. Congress, who must approve Trump’s plan for it to become effective.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States was working with the Central American governments and Mexico to “solve this problem at the border,” and pointed to the numbers when asked why Trump had toughened his stance.“Just look at the math,” Pompeo told reporters outside the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. “How many folks are coming across. This is a crisis. We need to fix it.
