WASHINGTON, May 4 ― Mexico is preparing to address the prospect of more migrants crossing the country once the United States lifts immigration restrictions put in place in response to the pandemic, Mexico's foreign minister said yesterday.
“There could be a problem of higher migration flows, so we'll have to start to work on some ideas,” Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard told a news conference in Washington after meeting with top US officials. However, when asked whether Biden's plan to unwind the policy would be sufficient, Ebrard said he needed to review the full proposal. He underscored that Mexico would not loosen up on migration controls.In recent years, hundreds of thousands of Central Americans have crossed through Mexico on their way to the US border. More recently, migrants from other countries such as Cuba and Haiti have also traversed Mexico in an effort to enter the US.
