Mexico aims to avoid tariffs with potential deal limiting migrants going north, allowing U.S. to deport Central American asylum seekers
Under such a plan, the United States would swiftly deport to Mexico any Guatemalan asylum seekers who set foot on U.S. soil. But the Mexican official said the government is willing to make asylum changes for the sake of a coordinated regional approach. Now acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, McAleenan has been negotiating to curb migration to the United States. “Something pretty dramatic could happen,” he said, referring to the talks with Mexican officials, which continued Thursday. The Mexican official also cautioned that the legal framework for the accord had yet to be hashed out.
