One of the things I admire most about President Trump is his persistence. Against each roadblock thrown up by the swamp creatures in Congress, he tries every possible way forward until targets are reached, or at least closer. This is a BIG step.

The United States and Mexico met this week to address the shared challenges of irregular migration, to include the entry of migrants into the United States in violation of U.S. law. Given the dramatic increase in migrants moving from Central America through Mexico to the United States, both countries recognize the vital importance of rapidly resolving the humanitarian emergency and security situation. The Governments of the United States and Mexico will work together to immediately implement a durable solution.
As a result of these discussions, the United States and Mexico commit to:
Mexican Enforcement Surge
Mexico will take unprecedented steps to increase enforcement to curb irregular migration, to include the deployment of its National Guard throughout Mexico, giving priority to its southern border. Mexico is also taking decisive action to dismantle human smuggling and trafficking organizations as well as their illicit financial and transportation networks. Additionally, the United States and Mexico commit to strengthen bilateral cooperation, including information sharing and coordinated actions to better protect and secure our common border.
Migrant Protection Protocols
The United States will immediately expand the implementation of the existing Migrant Protection Protocols across its entire Southern Border. This means that those crossing the U.S. Southern Border to seek asylum will be rapidly returned to Mexico where they may await the adjudication of their asylum claims.
In response, Mexico will authorize the entrance of all of those individuals for humanitarian reasons, in compliance with its international obligations, while they await the adjudication of their asylum claims. Mexico will also offer jobs, healthcare and education according to its principles.
The United States commits to work to accelerate the adjudication of asylum claims and to conclude removal proceedings as expeditiously as possible.
Further Actions
Both parties also agree that, in the event the measures adopted do not have the expected results, they will take further actions. Therefore, the United States and Mexico will continue their discussions on the terms of additional understandings to address irregular migrant flows and asylum issues, to be completed and announced within 90 days, if necessary.
Ongoing Regional Strategy
The United States and Mexico reiterate their previous statement of December 18, 2018, that both countries recognize the strong links between promoting development and economic growth in southern Mexico and the success of promoting prosperity, good governance and security in Central America. The United States and Mexico welcome the Comprehensive Development Plan launched by the Government of Mexico in concert with the Governments of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to promote these goals. The United States and Mexico will lead in working with regional and international partners to build a more prosperous and secure Central America to address the underlying causes of migration, so that citizens of the region can build better lives for themselves and their families at home.

Looks like a pretty good agreement to me. Part of the problem of implementation will be the drug cartels who are in control. They are really vicious.

Strike at its head, and you will be attacked by its tail; strike at its tail, and you will be attacked by its head; strike at its middle, and you will be attacked by head and tail both.”

Let’s see…I have zero reasons to trust the Mexican government and I’m wondering if deep-cover members of the Rat Left haven’t been parlaying with the corrupt Mexican government, telling them to trade space for time until the Rats are back in power and it’s monkey business as usual.
The Mex gov has been reluctant for decades to put an end to illegal immigration, at one time the $$$ sent back to Mexico from here provided a big chunk of the country’s budget. Compare that with the drug proceeds that are directly paid to the various levels of government there and the tax revenues the sales and support of the drug trade creates and you have more reasons to stall the Trump agenda than to bend to it. Mexico drags its feet while they say they have to make the appropriate arrangements, put on a show of rounding up the usual suspects in front of the media and bide their time. But while the illegals are being sacrificed for breathing room the drugs will continue to flow, probably in greater quantities as the cartels will have more free time now they’re not moving bodies.
I don’t trust Mexico at all, period. Nothing I’ve seen in over 20 years gives me the slightest hint that they’re about to change their kleptarchical ways and I see the Rats as dreaming of some amalgamation of the US and Mexico/Latin America into some dysfunctional Switzerland-of-the-West parasite-host arrangement. I think Mexico sees the criminal possibilities of being part of the US like a hungry horse fly does a sheep’s bare butt. And so do the Rats.
