Biden strikes Trump-esque deal with Northern Triangle countries amid migrant surge
New York Post ^ | April 12, 2021 | Emily Jacobs

The Biden administration is taking a page out of former President Donald Trump’s book, striking an agreement with the Northern Triangle countries to militarize their borders in an effort to curb the migrant flow.

Speaking to reporters during her daily briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki discussed the agreement hours after a Biden administration official had confirmed it.

“So, Mexico made the decision to maintain 10,000 troops at its southern border, resulting in twice as many daily migrant introductions,” the top White House spokeswoman said. “Guatemala surged 1,500 police and military personnel to its southern border with Honduras, and have agreed to set up 12 checkpoints along the migratory route. Honduras surged to 7,000 police and military to disperse a large contingent of migrants.”

Where's KAMALA in this? Didn't Biden, et al make a big deal of "Kamala's in charge of the border?"

Still waiting for BuckFiden to get his stuff together. And the waiting, so far, has been delicious.

Weak idiots do not negotiate successfully, without paying through the nose. We will pay millions, for nothing.

Did Psaki really say “introductions”?

The same recent moves by Mexico et al would now be the top broadcast & cable TV news story with full negative narration if Trump was now in the White House.

Not the same. At a minimum, there is a lot more Democrat graft involved.

No, but the bare minimum is kept in. Clinton was really good with this. They get in office, immediately screw it up and then go back to the old policy. pretending it’s new or something else.

“How much $$$$$$$$?”

That would be nice, but this reinforces the Trumpian position that there is an art of the deal and now the Central American countries understand Let’s Make a Deal.

The question is does Xiden rollover and get beaten badly, or just took.

You can bet Biden and Co. are begging and paying them to slow the flow.
The Idiots in charge are no way getting out of this without paying them.

They over-played their anti Trump card and folded!
If there's a new agreement ,We are PAYING FOR IT!
BANK ON IT!

“Mexico made the decision to maintain 10,000 troops at its southern border, resulting in twice as many daily migrant introductions”

Under Trump, Mexico deployed 25,000, and they conducted interdictions, rather than introductions.
