Former chief of staff for Mexico's Attorney General, Lila Abed, discussed the upcoming executive actions by the Biden administration that could impact immigrants' ability to seek asylum at the Mexico border. The cooperation between the United States and Mexico is crucial in addressing the flow of migrants entering through Mexico's southern border with Guatemala.
The next presidents of both countries will need to collaborate on developing a comprehensive regional strategy that extends beyond the U.S.-Mexico border. This strategy should involve other hemispheric leaders from countries like Nicaragua, Venezuela, Haiti, and Cuba, which are significant sources of migrants heading towards the U.S.
Political will and cooperation are essential in addressing the challenges posed by migration. The upcoming electoral cycle in the United States is expected to intensify discussions on migration cooperation between the two countries. Strengthening this cooperation will be vital in managing the influx of migrants and addressing the root causes of migration in the region.
