Under growing pressure from the U.S. government, Mexico’s immigration policy has moved from one promising to help migrants to another characterized by militarized enforcement that has support of the country’s foreign secretary...
“In these 90 days, Mexico has become President Trump’s border wall,” the letter (from migration activists) added...
Following a threat by President Donald Trump to implement crippling tariffs on all Mexican imports in late May, Mexico stepped up measures to contain and dissuade migrants who say they are fleeing violence and poverty.
Thousands of members of a newly created National Guard have been deployed to run highway checkpoints on migrant routes. Bus companies have been warned not to sell tickets to passengers without documents. The head of the country’s immigration agency, a sociologist and academic who studied immigration, was replaced by the head of the federal prison system. More than 40,000 migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. have been sent back to Mexico to wait out the process...
State offices of Mexico’s immigration agency were given quotas for the number of migrant detentions they needed to make, said two people with knowledge of the situation...

All of this action by Mexico to aid us has its root in just one area,trade.
The reason Mexico folded so quickly when Trump threatened tariffs is because Mexico violated one of the cardinal rules of business and that is, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. We currently buy 80% of all items Mexico exports and any tariffs would have a huge and immediate impact on Mexico as American importers would quickly find other sources for the goods we import from Mexico which are mainly agricultural.
