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.

Mexico was doing it while denying it.

The US was cool with that.

The uniparty/Deep State was not. Which is why this story appears in the DM.

A truth that's told with bad intent, Beats all the lies you can invent.

Mexico has a choice. It can detain and control the invaders on it's side of the border and have the border function at some semblance of normalcy, or it can have Trump effectively shut down the borders either by decree or by enforcing procedure that slow down traffic to a crawl.

Deportations of illegal aliens being the hopefully (stepped up) exception to that. If it happened.

A tax on all the money transfers would be a great start, and Verify is also very important!!!

This is most certainly a case of Mexico fouling their own nest.

My first thought was this was a case of Pelosi and Schumer backdoor fouling the deal against President Trump.
