FULL TITLE: No deal! Mexico DENIES agreement with Trump that would keep caravan asylum seekers out of America until their applications are approved, as tensions in border city of Tijuana reach boiling point
Mexican officials there was 'no agreement of any type' between its Government and the United States that will require asylum seekers to wait in the country while their claims move through US courts.
Olga Sanchez Cordero, the top domestic policy official for president-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador who takes office on December 1, ruled out that Mexico would be declared a 'safe third country' for asylum claimants.
This followed a Washington Post report of a deal with the Trump administration known as 'Remain in Mexico,' which quoted her calling it a 'short-term solution.'
The plan, according to the newspaper, foresees migrants staying in Mexico while their asylum claims in the United States are being processed, potentially ending a system President Donald Trump decries as 'catch and release' that has until now often allowed those seeking refuge to wait on safer US soil.
Their denial surfaced less than an hour after Trump tweeted that migrants wouldn't be allowed to cross into the United States while they were applying for asylum. He also threatened to close the border 'if necessary' following years of abuse.

30 Million? There’s GOT to be millions more. Everywhere I turn in Florida, it’s me who is a minority!
Yup, here too. In California.
It’s been well over a decade that Latinos bypassed gringos as being dominant in the state. I feel for anglo children in schools as they are really geared towards migrants.
Let Mexico solve the illegal alien problem. They created it.
Close the border and halt trade. Then remind Mexico that they Will Pay for the Fence.
Stop trade with Mexico immediately!
All money transactions (western union)
halted!.
I wonder how much Soros’ money was involved to get this Mexican reversal?
Mexico has internal politics and relations with its southern neighbors, too. It’s likely that at least some agreements between the Mexican and U.S. governments need to be low key.
We can grow our own jalapeños...
MEXICO IS ANTI-IMMIGRANT! They are refusing to allow asylum seekers a safe entry to their country!
Right before the Christmas season and all of those low labor cost products will rot (read be pirated)before they can get to market
Mexico allowed them in. Too bad, they own them.
Yours is a marvelous plan. May it be implemented
Yank all Mexico aid from the US and they will think twice.
I heard that an Executive Order receives judicial review,
BUT, and EXECUTIVE ACTION does not, which means the nuts at the Ninth Circus can’t touch it. Obummer used to do that.
Great idea and issue an Executive Action to accomplish it.
How about taking care of our homeless before letting 10,000 more in?
Yep - actions speak louder than words.
We are not obligated to let anyone in our country.
If Mexico doesn’t want them they can deport them.
Those so called migrants are not our responsibility just because they are trying to claim asylum in our country.
Stop the transfer of US dollars from Mexicans here to family at home. It is the 2nd largest contributor to Mexico's economy. And it is also dollars earned here being sucked out of our economy.
This is a no-brainer.
Mexico has internal politics and relations with its southern neighbors, too. It’s likely that at least some agreements between the Mexican and U.S. governments need to be low key.

You are right. And any major affront risking the economic bankruptcy of Mexico would be an affront to all, whether they act that way or not.
Most armchair strategists will say “who cares”, but nearly all ignore the fact that there are those whom Americans consider our traditional enemies who have been casting greedy eyes on the entire region for decades. If the entire border were shut down and serious damage done to Mexico, it would most certainly stop nearly all illegal immigration. But at the same time it would vastly increase anti-American sentiment throughout Latin America, including Honduras, the staunchest and perhaps ONLY real ally the US has south of the border. The only thing worse would be an armed conflict.
The longer this goes on, the weaker the US influence in the region. Illegal immigration is only the tip of this iceberg, and is more a symptom than a disease. I’d love to see the SIGINT intercept at Soto Cano, and the reports going back to Fort Meade. We see in the news maybe ten percent of what’s really going on in nearly all international events.
Trump is far busier with this than he may appear, and he must be very careful how he handles it.
They entered Mexico first
Doesn’t UN law say something to the affect of it now being their problem?
Let’s say a large caravan came from Canada, traveled through US & then demanded Mexico let them in. They’d probably be shot.
Trump should point out Mexico hypocrisy by shining a light on their tough immigration laws.
