Mexico on Tuesday agreed to contribute $1.5 billion to a joint initiative with the U.S. to improve infrastructure along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a person familiar with the commitment.
The agreement came on the same day President Joe Biden hosted his Mexican counterpart, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, for a meeting in the Oval Office.
Part of their discussions were expected to include a commitment from the two countries to carry out "a multi-year, joint, U.S.-Mexico border infrastructure modernization effort for projects along the 2,000 mile border," a senior Biden administration official told reporters on Monday ahead of the meeting.
The infrastructure project is intended to improve processing and security along the border, the person familiar with the agreement said.
Biden alluded to Mexico's investment in remarks alongside López Obrador before their meeting, saying, "We're also making historic investments in infrastructure modernization across our 2,000-mile border with Mexico."
He noted the $1.2 trillion infrastructure law he championed last year was "delivering $3.4 billion to major construction projects at the ports of entry between our two countries to make our border safer and more efficient for people, trade and commerce."
Hundreds of people watch from the border fence in Playas de Tijuana, Mexico, as U.S. Independence Day fireworks were launched several miles away in San Diego Bay, Calif., July 4, 2022.
"And the American people should know, Mr. President," Biden told López Obrador, "that you’re also making a significant investment on your side of the border to improve infrastructure to meet the needs of our times and the future."

First step towards unification between Canada-US and Mexico.
Institutionalized invasion. Orderly processing of invaders.
I was told by reliably reliable people this would never happen.

Heavy on the processing and light on the security, of course.
Rats fighting hard to get Mid-Terms favor.
The wall is infrastructure, no? How did Horizontal’s meeting go with Andrés Manuel Lopez?
Dream on!
It’s not an idea that I support. It’s another globalist agenda to slowly merge the countries together into a single functioning unit.
After we send them $2billion
So you didn’t like Trumps border wall?
Of course I saw the need for Trumps wall.
I’m not a globalist.
You know that’s not gonna happen.
Look at all the wars going on right now. Since WW II and even before that, there’s hardly a year that goes by without some nasty war or the other.
How can we have a “ single functioning unit” if we can’t even stop fighting nasty, vicious wars?
$1.5 bln more than the US spends.
$1.5 billion will buy a lot of gates for the wall.
Pff. Peanuts.
“Rats fighting hard to get Mid-Terms favor.”
Also, gas prices have come down 60 cents by me in the last 2 weeks. I bet the rats are shooting for sub $3.00 gas by November and will use that also.
In inflation dollars is that like 100k?
Not to mention they are likely giving us back our money..from pay off and drug deals..?
Creating fast lanes at the POE for the drug and human smuggling.
Translation; Process them faster and the security part is making sure to get their info so they can become voters, whether they actually vote or not, their votes will count, as dem votes.
