The White House on Friday announced that it has agreed to accept Cuban, Nicaraguan, Haitian and Venezuelan nationals who are living in Mexico as refugee resettlement referrals, the latest in the administration’s strategy of allowing more migrants in through more legal "pathways" to reduce chaos at the southern border.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan announced that after a meeting between Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and a U.S. delegation, the U.S. has committed to expanding "access to safe, orderly, legal migration pathways"
Mexico will be establishing an "international multipurpose space" to offer "new refugee and labor options for the most vulnerable people who are currently in Mexico."
"We also commit to accept refugee resettlement referrals from qualified individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who are already in Mexico," Sullivan said.
