  1. I’d like to see the actual wording of that agreement, I think it may have some interesting clauses and commitments.

    In any event, if they’re fleeing violence in their home countries, why aren’t they seeking asylum in Mexico instead of the US where they’d fit into the local culture much more smoothly?

    Wonder what Mexico is getting out of the deal?

  2. Mexico is now saddled with these people. Let’s see how that sits with the Mexican people. The phony refugees will get all the freebies they want with the US paying for them. I think this may cause a little friction.
