Mexico will continue pursuing measures to stop migrants from reaching its northern border with the United States, its top diplomat said on Friday, days after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election vowing a new crackdown on illegal immigration.
Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente stressed that Mexico's model is working and will stay in place, pointing to data that shows the number of migrants caught by U.S. authorities at the border had fallen 76% since last December.
"It's working well and we're going to continue on this path," he told a press conference. At the same conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that she had spoken to Trump about the border in their first telephone call a day earlier while also pointing to the sharp fall in migrant crossings.
"He raised the issue of the border... and I told him, 'Yes, there is the issue of the border, but there will be space to talk about it,'" said Sheinbaum, who described the conversation as "very cordial."
Much like he did in his previous term as president, Trump has threatened to slap 25% tariffs on all Mexican exports unless its government stops migrants and drugs from crossing the shared border.

More winning.
We should start taxing the remittances.
“””Mexico will continue pursuing measures to stop migrants from reaching its northern border with the United States”””
Gaslighting from Reuters. As if Mexico has done anything in the past four years to stop in invasion.
IIRC Trump had an agreement with Mexico which required “asylum seekers” to stay in Mexico while their applications were in progress.
This
“We should start taxing the remittances.”
YES absolutely.
And /or reduce any welfare we give them by however much they send out of country
I really want to see Professor Victor D Hanson's proposal to slap a 25% tax on all money flowing from Mexicans living in the USA to their families in Mexico.
All it takes is to pretend that the Mexican government is in charge of running the country.
When did Mexico ever have a policy to stop illegals aliens from crossing their Northern Border? Seems to me they were encouraging it and helping their financiers the cartels move them through Mexico and put them in position to skate across the border.
Illegal crossing will decline to a trickle and reverse immigration will scale up as we deport illegals.
Bingo!
As a matter of record, Mexico has done the opposite. As a joint party to the leftist agenda, it has facilitated the northward movement.
Puh-leeze.
Those low IQ subhumans forget that WE are responsible for the most part of their country’s financial largess.
That country could have stopped every single crimmigrant in their tracks but laughed as they helped them to cross into America.
TRUMP NEEDS TO TAX ALL MONIES GOING OUT THROUGH WESTERN UNION AND OTHER WIRING SERVICES.
THEY GET FREE WELFARE AND GET PAID CASH FOR UNDER THE TABLE JOBS. THEY ARE PARASITES AND IT NEEDS TO STOP NOW.
Each and every time a migrant crosses from Mexico to the United States... Mexico should be sent a bill of one million dollars.
What might be the means of getting the Venezuelan gang scum back to Venezuela?
