The State Dept. released a joint declaration made by the U.S. and Mexico with this overview of both parties' commitments:
Mexican Enforcement Surge
Mexico will take unprecedented steps to increase enforcement to curb irregular migration, to include the deployment of its National Guard throughout Mexico, giving priority to its southern border. Mexico is also taking decisive action to dismantle human smuggling and trafficking organizations as well as their illicit financial and transportation networks. Additionally, the United States and Mexico commit to strengthening bilateral cooperation, including information sharing and coordinated actions to better protect and secure our common border.
Migrant Protection Protocols
The United States will immediately expand the implementation of the existing Migrant Protection Protocols across its entire Southern Border. This means that those crossing the U.S. Southern Border to seek asylum will be rapidly returned to Mexico where they may await the adjudication of their asylum claims.
In response, Mexico will authorize the entrance of all of those individuals for humanitarian reasons, in compliance with its international obligations, while they await the adjudication of their asylum claims. Mexico will also offer jobs, healthcare, and education according to its principles.
The United States commits to work to accelerate the adjudication of asylum claims and to conclude removal proceedings as expeditiously as possible.
Further Actions
Both parties also agree that in the event the measures adopted do not have the expected results, they will take further actions. Therefore, the United States and Mexico will continue their discussions on the terms of additional understandings to address irregular migrant flows and asylum issues, to be completed and announced within 90 days, if necessary.
Ongoing Regional Strategy
The United States and Mexico reiterate their previous statement of December 18, 2018, that both countries recognize the strong links between promoting the development and economic growth in southern Mexico and the success of promoting prosperity, good governance and security in Central America. The United States and Mexico welcome the Comprehensive Development Plan launched by the Government of Mexico in concert with the Governments of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to promote these goals. The United States and Mexico will lead in working with regional and international partners to build a more prosperous and secure Central America to address the underlying causes of migration so that citizens of the region can build better lives for themselves and their families at home.

Legalization takes a bite out of organized crime
As the flow of cartel brick weed into the U.S. dwindles to due further legalization measures, the phenomenon of smuggling California pot southbound to Mexico has arisen.
The abundance of high-quality legal marijuana in California has created a demand in Mexico that local cartels can’t supply with their own homegrown product, reports KQED.
“If you’re in Mexico, and you want the best marijuana out there, there’s only one place to get it,” said Matthew Shapiro, a San Diego-based attorney specializing in marijuana, to KQED. “There’s no such thing as high-quality Mexican weed.”
Although smuggling drugs from either side of the border is both illegal and risky, southbound smuggling into Mexico is much easier, as drivers can sometimes cross the Tijuana border without ever stopping for Mexican officials.
Experts on both sides of the border believe that the demand for California pot in Mexico will rise if the state passes the proposition 64 initiative to legalize recreational marijuana for adult use.
“They can get it easily in the U.S., and they bring it back with them in small quantities — generally for their own consumption,” clinic director Raul Palacios said to KQED. “I don’t doubt that they share it with their friends, but not on a large scale.”
American marijuana legalization efforts have already caused a sharp decline in Mexican drug cartel revenues, and California’s impending decision could drive cartels further down.
“Two or three years ago, a kilogram [2.2 pounds] of marijuana was worth $60 to $90,” a Mexican marijuana grower told NPR news in December 2014. “But now they’re paying us $30 to $40 a kilo. It’s a big difference. If the U.S. continues to legalize pot, they’ll run us into the ground.”

Fuck off Mexico
The Mexican government is mounting a rushed effort to turn as many of their former citizens into American citizens as they can ahead of the November elections. Terrified that Donald Trump could make it much harder for Mexican immigrants to wantonly disregard our laws, the country is opening up their consulates in Chicago, Dallas, and elsewhere to permanent U.S. residents who are eligible for citizenship. And though Mexican officials insist that they are not trying to interfere with the internal affairs of a sovereign country, it is fairly obvious that they want as many Mexicans voting against Trump as they can get.
From the New York Times:
Laura Espinosa, deputy consul in Mexico’s consulate in Las Vegas, said the main goal of the program is citizenship, and while that includes the right to vote, the government doesn’t press people to do so. “Those who use this to vote, that’s up to each individual,” said Espinosa, who confirmed that most consulates have begun citizenship campaigns. “We don’t have any opinion on that, because that would be totally interfering in internal affairs of the country.”
Oh, is the right to vote included in this? My, we had no idea!
The movement to turn immigrants into voters isn’t the only thing Mexico is doing to make sure they keep those remittance dollars rolling in for decades to come. They are also rolling out a PR campaign designed to let Americans know everything Mexicans have done “in business, the arts, and academia in the U.S.” According to Paulo Carreno, who is overseeing the marketing campaign, the goal is less about the 2016 election and more about influencing “a whole generation and those that follow.”
That Mexico is working this hard to oppose Trump should tell American voters something. Why would a sovereign country (whose immigration laws, mind you, are much less forgiving than ours) be so desperate to make sure their citizens can move out? Doesn’t that say something about what’s going on here?
Oh, but this is all about opposing white racism, right? Of course it is.
Republicans have done a terrible job at countering the leftist narrative that says a strong border is akin to bigotry and xenophobia. It’s almost like they believe it themselves. This party is constantly on the defensive. They use phrases like “we just…” Whatever happened to strong conservatives who could stand for the rule of law without sounding as though they’re ashamed of their own policies? Are Ted Cruz and Donald Trump the only ones capable of that?
Could that be why they’re winning?

Fuck off,Mexico. Don't interfere with our elections or we'll park a few marine units in Tijuana and other Mexican cities to fuck with you. You fuck with us we fuck with you and we fuck you up. We're getting tired of your shit and we'll put the American stomp on your Mexican asses. You fucked with one of our marines,Andrew Tamaroosi and now we can send a few thousand your way. We'll see who kicks ass on who and you'll lose so back off.

Play time for terrorists
If I were a terrorist I would strike on the southern border with Mexico. With all these children coming across at Barrack Obama's invitation it is an excellent distraction from what else is happening. According to tonight's Hannity a lot of muslims are pouring across our southern border as well. That would mean either Al Qadea or ISIS is coming across the border. Remember this is the same ISIS that is currently trying to bomb Israel out of existence and they have made it no secret that they are coming after us. Now add on top of that the United States has a southern neighbor,Mexico,that has no respect for our country. They show this by imprisoning our Marine,Andrew Tahmooressi,when it has been shown that he entered Mexico unknowingly and was cooperative with Mexican authorities. Now add to that Obama is discharging people from the military while demanding money for the illegal aliens pouring across our border. No military to defend the country,a system overworked by a ever expanding growth in illegal aliens and an infrustructure about to collapse. On the rest of the world,North Korea is getting brave and our allies are wondering if we can lead or not. America's enemies are embolden while America's allies are worried. Yes,I would say this is the time to strike and strike hard. I'm probably not the only one to see this but the only difference is I'm being hypothetical while they may actually implement it.
