Deployment of National Guard forces to Mexico's southern border will advance quickly under a migration control deal signed last week with the United States, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said on Wednesday, although there were no visible signs on the ground late in the day.

Under the deal signed on Friday, Mexico agreed to take steps to control the flow of people from Central America, including deploying 6,000 members of the country's National Guard across its border with Guatemala.

"Starting from today, and in the coming days, the deployment is going to progress rapidly," Mr Ebrard said during President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's regular morning news conference.

Mexico has deployed its own National Guard. Some 6,000 troops will be travelling to its southern border.

With Mexico holding talks with neighboring nations like Guatemala and Honduras, it really seems like Mexico is going further than the United States. Although, I do get that this is as much a Mexican issue as it is a US issue...

it really seems like Mexico is going further than the United States

Seems worth reminding people that just last week, we were told that Trump was going off the deep end with his tariff threats..... threats that appear to have worked.
We also kept hearing that Trump 'manufactured' the border crisis, and that he was blowing it out of proportion.
Now, suddenly, Mexico is doing more than the US to deal with the problem?
What???

Well,l I'm sure they will be giving a blind eye to the cartel traffic across the border. They will just be following orders, right?

Americans have some really dumb citizens. Probably some of the dumbest on the planet. They have a problem with a physical barrier but had no problem when Obama, Hillary, Schumer and 20 something others on their side voted for it. They said NOTHING. Even Biden was saying it was needed not too long ago. All the videos of them saying this takes seconds to access yet the media says nothing.

Now it's an OUTRAGE. OMG!!! This is horrible, this immoral barrier. Trump is the devil.

I live in NW Mexico. Mexicans do not like these migrants. They refer to them as ingrates and thieves. They don't want a porous southern border any more than any intelligent, informed American does.

This is good for everyone involved.

Good. I want to see how many dem leaders are going to call the Mexicans racist for sending troops to their border. When we want to send the National Guard, some whacko liberal leader in a border state says they're not going to give the National Guard the ok to send their troops.

If the butthurt would shut the # up and let Trump do his thing then a lot of this wouldn't even be necessary.

I just hope this is all on record and a huge Trump ad comes out later this year or next that show all the times the left manufactured rage.
