Mexico’s defense minister said Monday that the nation has deployed nearly 15,000 troops to its northern border to increase border enforcement, part of a deal to avert U.S. tariffs on Mexican goods, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).
"We have a total deployment, between the National Guard and army units, of 14,000, almost 15,000 men in the north of the country," Defense Minister Luis Cresencio Sandoval said at a Monday joint press conference with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

I know my President is a compulsive liar, but we can trust the Mexicans to tell us the truth. /sarc

Just another mouth to feed. Just another person you have to pay or sex to get across.

It's better than nothing. Mexico's problems won't be instantly solved.

Not so sure of the validity of this article; last I had read, Mexico was establishing or reforming their National Guard.  15,000 is a lot of people to come up with in just a short time.  I also was under the understanding that the U.S. would be assisting along Mexico's southern border which is where ILLEGALS are first coming through.  It is a much smaller area and makes much more sense.

Waiting to see what happens.

That will never happen.  Best thing to do, would be to line up their ARMED military along the southern border, so no one gets in.  Secondly, the U.S. needs to mandate that Mexico declares themselves a safe haven so that the U.S. doesn't have to grant asylum.  I don't see that happening either.
