Mexico and US Collaborate to Deport Migrants Amid Border Crisis

Mexico has reached an agreement with the United States to deport migrants from its border cities and implement measures to deter illegal crossings. The agreement aims to address the recent surge in border crossings, with Mexico agreeing to "depressurize" its northern cities and take actions to prevent migrants from using the railway system to reach the US-Mexico border. The US Department of Defense is also sending additional personnel to the border. The agreement raises questions about Mexico taking on responsibilities typically designated for the US. The number of border crossings is expected to continue increasing, driven by factors such as violence, economic opportunities, and deteriorating conditions exacerbated by the pandemic in Latin America.
