Mexico's new president signs deal to stop migrants

By - Associated Press - Sunday, December 2, 2018

In one of his first acts in office, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has signed an agreement with his counterparts from three Central American countries to establish a development plan to stem the flow of migrants seeking asylum in the U.S.

The Foreign Ministry said Saturday that the plan includes a fund to generate jobs in the region and aims to attack the structural causes of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

Thousands of migrants, mostly Hondurans, have joined caravans in recent weeks in an effort to speed through Mexico to request refuge at the U.S. border.

Dozens of migrants interviewed by The Associated Press have said they are fleeing poverty and violence in their countries of origin.

My guess is those countries will be less humane about border security than the U.S.

Thanks Mr. Trump. Does this mean we don't need the wall? I still think we should build it since Mexico is paying for it. That's a double win for the President! Way to Go!

Yes == we will get that wall and we will pay for it. Yes,he promised that Mexico would pay for it but that won't happen. Sorta like...Obama promising we could keep our Doctors and then reneging on it. But we all moved forward from that and we'll move forward with the wall too. # Trump2020

We will move on sorta like we moved on from Jimmy Carter promising Solar Panels in the white House and not getting them. We will move on from Trump not getting a wall as well. Hey since Trump is a master builder why doesn't he build it and just charge Mexico.

Maybe with the other countries cooperating, we don't need the wall anymore, but let's build it anyway, just in case.

If we don't need it why do the upkeep. Kind of like putting a swimming pool in the back yard . Its fun for a little when its new and people are using it. Then it a pain in the ass to keep up and costs money when people aint

What are you talking about? You don't know your stuff,do ya? The Carter Admin installed solar panels at the White House in 1979.

I don't know everything but I remember this fiasco. They started install and got up a few then realized it was just a bullshit campaign gimmick. Reagan took the fucking things down. They were took down before they were ever used fully utilized. Just like Trumps border wall. A fucking gimmick

Yea what that means is that American money is going to Mexico to create jobs in Mexico.

the solar panels were there to heat the water tank system. it wasn't to power the white house.

When it starts to need maintenance it will become a menacing eyesore that screams out to illegal crossers that they need to present themselves at an intake center with proper paperwork to receive asylum, plus it will show we are too poor anyway, so why come to this shithole?

Looking poor strategy does avoid a lot of problems
