Mexico Sends Troops to Its Southern Border

Epoch Times: Mexican officials said that the deployment of National Guard Forces to its southern border it shares with Guatemala will begin on June 12 and is expected to advance quickly.

“Starting from today, and in the coming days, the deployment is going to progress rapidly,” Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said during a news conference on June 12 with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

The deployment of troops is part of a deal between Mexico and the United States, reached on June 7, to stem the flow of illegal immigrants coming into America.

Trump warned on May 30 that he will impose a 5 percent important tariff on all goods coming from Mexico if the country does not take action to tackle the influx of illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Mexico subsequently sent a delegation, led by Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, to Washington to seek “an agreement for the benefit of the two nations.”

After three days of negotiations, the United States and Mexico reached an agreement that would see an expanded implementation of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), commonly known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy and increased security at the southern border. The implementation of the tariffs against Mexico was subsequently averted.

Ebrard explained that Mexico agreed to a 45-day timeline to demonstrate that its increased enforcement was effective.

“A lot of things have to happen in 45 days,” Ebrard said. “We are going to do what we said we are going to do.”  more here

  1. Wow, no more popping off at their snotty mouths and mumbling defiant threats.
    How refreshing having a man in the White House who’s actually doing things instead of just promising to do them.
    They all hate him because he’s making every one of them look pathetic.
