MEXICO CITY - As the Mexican government claimed success on Friday for its summerlong crackdown on Central American migrants, US Homeland Security officials said the country's efforts are stalling and that the Trump administration will push for a more aggressive approach during talks in Washington, D.C., next week.
"Mexico started off making some gains, and they have executed enforcement operations they've never executed before, which the US government has acknowledged and applauded, but those efforts have largely stalled," said a DHS official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe how the US is planning to approach next week's talks.
In their June 7 accord, US and Mexican negotiators agreed the two sides would reassess their efforts after 90 days. That period has expired. Mr Trump's trade dispute with China and the administration's worries about a weakening US economy could make it more difficult for the White House to wield tariffs, especially because the damage would impact major US companies who have manufacturing and assembly plants in Mexico.
"We told them that there is a Mexican strategy that can produce results," he said."What we showed is that we were right." Homeland Security officials want to continue aggressively expanding the MPP programme in Tamaulipas and the Rio Grande Valley, the busiest place along the border for illegal crossings, viewing it as a major deterrent.
