Strategic Solutions for the United States and Mexico to Manage the Migration Crisis
By Andrew Selee, Silvia E. Giorguli-Saucedo, Claudia Masferrer, and Ariel G. Ruiz Soto
 

Over the past six months, migration from Central America to both Mexico and the United States has surged, as have asylum applications in both countries. Driven largely by mixed migration flows of humanitarian and economic migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, and to a lesser extent El Salvador, apprehensions more than tripled at the U.S.-Mexico border in May compared to similar numbers a year previously (see Figure 1).
 

On June 7, the U.S. and Mexican governments agreed to a series of measures to reduce irregular flows by:

    increasing enforcement in Mexico;
    conducting joint antismuggling operations;
    rapidly expanding the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP, informally known as Remain in Mexico), a program that sends asylum seekers to Mexico while they await their U.S. asylum hearing; and
    committing to address root causes of migration through development investment in the Northern Triangle countries of Central America.

Title:
"Strategic Solutions for the United States and Mexico to Manage the Migration Crisis"

Solution for the U.S.:
Build a solid border barrier the entire length of the border, that is all-but impossible to get across.

Solution for Mexico:
Figure out how to deal with all the people who come to the border, and then realize it's all-but impossible to get across the barrier. As in, "send them home".
