Mexico City (AFP) – When a dozen Latin American presidents and foreign ministers meet on Sunday in Mexico, they'll face a huge task: finding a solution to migration flows roiling two continents as people make their way to the United States.
This year alone, 1.7 million migrants arrived at the Mexican-US border. Immigration is becoming a huge political issue in both nations, which each have presidential elections next year.
September alone saw 60,000 migrants arrive in Mexico from Venezuela, along with 35,000 Guatemalans and 27,000 Hondurans, according to the Mexican government.
"It is very difficult to be able to manage these numbers if we do not have a policy where migration is not only handled between Mexico and the United States, but also from the northern part of South America to the United States," Mexican Foreign Minister Alicia Barcena said this week before congress.
"We need to agree" on migration policy "because we can do many things ourselves" within Latin America, said Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
He added that Latin American countries, in a united front, should then "seek the cooperation of the US government."
In tow at the Chiapas conference will be the presidents of Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras and Venezuela.
The Prime Minister of Haiti, Airel Henry, will also attend.
Barcena said that the summit aims to discourage migration via economic programs, address Washington's sanctions on Venezuela and Cuba and discuss "labor mobility pathways" to the United States.
The Mexican summit is a welcome beginning for "dialogue with the countries of the south," but might not accomplish much, said Dolores Paris Pombo, a migration researcher.
Mexico's objective, she told AFP, will be to relieve the migration pressure felt there by pursuing a broader, regional approach.

Who woke them up?
Since our congresscritters aren’t voting to send these countries our money is why they meet.
South America has copious amounts of natural beauty, great natural resources and arable land for agriculture. It should be close to being empty soon, maybe then we can all migrate down there and prosper.
Was a double payment scam. Our taxpayer dollars plus money sent back from illegals. It’s a meeting about the money or the lack now there of. These nations want our congresscritters to elect a speaker of the House in order for the money train to travel to these countries imho
Turbocharged invasion summit
The planning will be all about “how can we push more through” followed by “how can we extract more money from Los Inmigrantes and Los Gringos”
They are there only to collect American money and laugh up a storm.
How can we make their journey easier? Busses? Trains? Parades? Free food?
All of these ‘asylum seekers’ in the US are not supposed to be here.
They are supposed to plant themselves in the first country they make it to.
I heard on talk radio about how one doctor with 30 yrs experience at a mental asylum was discussing how it is empty for the first time ever - all were shipped to America.
Those sh!thole countries need to pay big. Trump has to get in office so we can turbosend them all back.
“When a dozen Latin American presidents and foreign ministers meet on Sunday in Mexico, they’ll face a huge task: finding a solution to migration flows roiling two continents as people make their way to the United States”
Two years too late. Mexico could have just shut down their Southern border to stem the tide of illegals crossing it. Of course Biden’s handlers could have shut down our Southern border like Trump did and accomplish the same thing.
And they probably also emptied their prisons and sent the worst of the worst here.
The Hispanic bass turds are meeting to make sure the dumbass gringos in the U.S. continue to accept all their garbage and sewage and our so-called asskissing “leaders” are going to let them.
Latin America will soon be a paradise once they finally get finished getting rid of their poor and criminal class
“turbosend them all back.”
Amen to that!!
The longer Jo Jo’s miggy invasion goes on, the bigger the catapult were going to need to build.
“And they probably also emptied their prisons and sent the worst of the worst here.”
You KNOW they all have. 🎶 Laughing all the way. 🎶
They’re going to discuss doing away with the “melting pot” and proclaiming America the world’s septic tank.
One of the ten kingdoms of Revelation coming together?
They will be discussing how to make a high speed bullet train from Caracas through ever latin s hole to Texas. Biden will pay for it.
