White House strikes deal with Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala to enforce borders

Mr. President, we didn't elect you for trumpist deals and enforcing borders!



The Biden administration has reached agreements with Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala to boost security at their borders in an attempt to curb a surge of migrants to the southern U.S. boundary, White House officials said on Monday.

"The objective is to make it more difficult to make the journey and make crossing the borders more difficult", White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters. "We worked with them to increase law enforcement at the border to deter the travel, which is a treacherous journey ... where many lose their lives".

The agreements were struck in recent weeks, she said.

Psaki said Mexico will maintain 10,000 troops at its southern border, which she said would double the number of interdictions each day. Guatemala will keep 1,500 military and police personnel at its border with Honduras, with 12 checkpoints set up along migration routes.

Honduras "surged 7,000 police and military to disperse a large contingent of migrants", she said.
