MEXICO CITY — Mexico published the document Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump fleetingly showed the press this week as evidence he had extracted tough new concessions on migration from the neighboring country. The document is a “supplementary agreement” to the deal the U.S. and Mexico signed last Friday, and outlines additional measures the two sides agree to take. Under that “binding bilateral agreement,” the countries “would accept the return, and process refugee status claims, of third-party nationals who have crossed that party’s territory to arrive” in the neighboring country, it says. The document adds that the agreement would be “part of a regional approach” to dealing with undocumented migrants and refugees. Under last Friday’s main deal, Mexico agreed to deploy 6,000 National Guardsmen to reinforce its southern border, and to expand its policy of taking back migrants as the United States processes their asylum claims.
