Migrants at US-Mexico border

The Mexican government pledged on Monday, to put an end to “horror” faced migrants from crossing Mexico and entering the United States via Mexico-US border. The country’s government urged Washington for further details over its plan to send the asylum-seekers to Mexico while the request still under process.

According to news reports, the Mexican government had said that on Monday, it would set out its position over the radical policy change of the US President Donald Trump’s administration that was announced last week that the migrants seeking refuge in the US would be sent back to Mexico while the cases were still pending.

Mexican foreign minister Mercelo Ebrard said he would be seeking “more information” from the US authorities over their plan on both sides, which was unveiled on Thursday.

Most migrants are from the violent and poor countries of the Central America, who are traveling to the US. The immigration motion had since created tensions between the governments of both the countries – Mexico and US over the border security.

Ebrard said Mexico would change “drastically” its migration policy in order to ensure its response over the mass movement of migrants was humanitarian.

Ebrard said, “Today there’s only one way of describing the experience of the migrants that travel through our country: It is a horror. Humiliations, abuses, violations, and outrages.”

Despite of Trump’s criticism, Mexico tried to have a higher ground in the debate with promising the migrants to help them pursuing kinds of jobs and visas too.

Interior minister Olga Sanchez said that in future, the migrants would enter the country in a “safe” and an “orderly” manner, pledged a drastic shift away from a policy of “repression and militarization” at its border.

Lopez Obrador said, “There’s a special situation in the United States and I don’t wish to offer a point of view,” adding, “I will keep my counsel. There will be time.”
