Mexico’s entering interior minister, Olga Sanchez Cordero, said Saturday that a propose for Mexico to be a safe third country for asylum claimants in the U.S. were “guided out,” following reports in the Washington Post of a deal with the Trump superintendence.
Sanchez told Reuters ongoing talks with the United Alleges on the situation of migrant caravans were “very delicate.”
Citing Mexican officials and older members of president-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s transition together, the newspaper said the agreement would break with long-standing asylum controls and mount a new obstacle to Central American migrants attempting to reach the Synergetic States and escape poverty and violence.
Reached for comment by Reuters, arriving deputy interior minister Zoe Robledo said details of the “Remain in Mexico” plot were still being worked out.
He confirmed the plan in essence predicted migrants staying in Mexico while asylum claims are being changed, and said the incoming government wanted to find jobs for them in sectors that are short-handed, such as maquila assembly plants.
“What we’re aiming for is that people devise their countries due to security issues or violence can find a place to visit in Mexico if that is their decision,” Robledo said.
Lopez Obrador has assured to try to eliminate the causes of migration by creating more jobs and improving charged conditions in Mexico and Central America.
In exchange, he hopes U.S. President Donald Trump and the Canadian regime will agree to help spur economic development in the region.
Former President Enrique Pena Nieto has also sought to stem the spew of migrants north by offering jobs to them, and has received backing from the exclusive sector in his efforts.
Olga Sanchez Cordero, Mexico’s incoming private minister and the top domestic policy official for Lopez Obrador, who takes corporation Dec. 1, told the Washington Post the plan, known as Remain in Mexico, was a “short-term solving.”
“The medium- and long-term solution is that people don’t migrate,” Sanchez Cordero divulged. “Mexico has open arms and everything, but imagine, one caravan after another after another, that last will and testament also be a problem for us.”
The paper said that according to the outlines of the project, asylum applicants at the border will have to stay in Mexico while their patients are processed, potentially ending the system Trump decries as “catch and liberating” that has until now generally allowed those seeking refuge to delay on safer U.S. soil.
