“In the meeting with the vice president of the United States,†Ebrard told reporters on Monday, “they were insistent on the safe third country issue. We told them — I think it was the most important achievement of the negotiations — ‘let’s set a time period to see if what Mexico is proposing will work, and if not, we’ll sit down and see what additional measures’ [are required].†If the numbers of migrants hitting the U.S. border do not decline appreciably, Ebrard said, Mexico might have to adopt the protocol to avoid damaging tariffs.
I know there are some that post here that won't credit Trump with anything, but I think a lot of us see progress being made.
Mexico is boxed into a corner. If they don't show real results quickly they will probably end up with the regional solution of being designated a "safe country". If that happens the immigration problem ends in their country.
