To prevent the surge in immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, the U.S., Mexico and other three countries reach an agreement

　　Chinanews.com, April 13th, according to the US Chinese website, on the 12th local time, the US Biden administration announced that it had reached an agreement with the governments of Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala, requiring these countries to strengthen law enforcement to prevent immigrants from entering the US border.

　　White House spokesperson Psaki said that the three countries have increased the deployment of police and military forces in an attempt to prevent immigrants from making dangerous trips northward, including immigrant families with children.

On January 22, local time, some construction materials were discarded at a border wall construction site in Sunland Park, New Mexico, USA.

On the 20th, U.S. President Biden signed an executive order calling for the cessation of the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

　　Psaki said that Mexico has notified the United States that it will keep 10,000 soldiers at the US-Mexico border in order to double the number of immigrants intercepted.

Guatemala will send 1,500 more soldiers along the border, and Honduras has promised to set up more than a dozen checkpoints on the necessary routes for many immigrants to the United States.

　　Psaki added that Honduras had recently "sent an additional 7,000 police and military personnel" to disperse immigrants who had gathered in the northern part of the country seeking asylum.

She pointed out that the purpose of these actions is to make the migrants’ “journey more difficult, and to make crossing the border more difficult.”

　　The agreement announced on April 12 is similar to several agreements reached during the tenure of former President Trump.

In the summer of 2019, after Mexico agreed to send thousands of soldiers to intercept immigrants trying to enter the US-Mexico border north, Trump agreed to abandon the threat of tariffs on the country.

　　The Biden administration has repeatedly stated that it will fundamentally solve the problem of undocumented immigration from Central American countries, which includes reducing crime, corruption and poverty in these countries through diplomatic means.

　　In March, Biden appointed Vice President Harris to lead the coordination work with Central American countries to solve the problem of border immigration. This is the first time that he assigned a major specific task to Harris, and the agreement with these countries was achieved by Harris. The first step to this goal.
