Yes, exactly. And the POTUS agreed not to because the bargaining chip gave the President what he needed .... Mexico's agreement to continue to keep the "asylum" seekers in his country.
It probably also keeps Obrador alive.
You answered your own question. And kudos ... you got this right.
There is not going to be a war with Mexico. Learn it. Love it. Live it.
I am not against targeted assassinations of Cartel King Pins in Mexico. Mexican drugs kill more Americans than Soleimani. And they have ruined every major city in America. Almost every American has been touched by family or friend who had fallen to drug addiction. And the human trafficking. By keeping all the immigrants in Mexico we are only an active supporter or Cartel business preying on them. If you think a wall is going to protect you think again. These terrorists are hacking people up. Beheading them. Human trafficking. Rape, Murder and kidnappings.
Wake up. These Cartels are every bit as dangerous as ISIS. The killings are every bit as gruesome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCOUZt2LUo0 No idea how many people he killed. Laredo Texas.
CARTEL killers who butchered nine Mormon women and children in Mexico are fighting the most barbaric drugs war in the country’s blood-soaked history.
The gruesome violence — which is so twisted it is said to have inspired ISIS — has been spiralling out of control, leaving so many corpses they've had to be stored in refrigerated trucks because there's not enough space in the country's morgues.
Nationwide, the central American country is on course to break its record murder toll of 33,000 victims that was set last year.
Deaths of this scale are usually seen in major conflicts.
Most of these are drug cartel victims, who were often ritually tortured, executed, dismembered and dumped in the street.
Chopping heads off is favoured and in some cases eyes have been gouged out beforehand.
Hangings on motorway bridges has become a trend.
In fact nothing seems to be off-limits.
