MEXICO CITY: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday thanked his Mexican counterpart for increased immigration enforcement by the country that Washington said is leading to fewer migrants entering the United States.
"Secretary Pompeo thanked Foreign Secretary Ebrard for Mexico's increased immigration enforcement efforts, which initial indications suggest is leading to reduced flows of illegal immigrants arriving at the US southern border," the State Department said. The Mexican statement used language slightly stronger than the US readout, saying Pompeo had recognised"significant advances" by Mexico on slowing migration since a high-stakes Jun 7 meeting in Washington held amid a growing migration crisis.That accord - reached under the shadow of Trump's trade threats - stipulated that failure by Mexico to rein in cross-border migration within 45 days could result in the need to negotiate a tougher arrangement.
