The Mexican Interior Minister underscored that no concrete deal has yet been concluded.
The US and Mexico have reportedly reached an agreement to keep poor migrants on Mexican soil while the US judicial system processes their applications, the Washington Post reported Saturday. The newspaper quoted Olga Sanchez Cordero, the Interior Minister for the incoming administration of Mexican President Lopez Obrador, which will take over the country’s governance December 1.
“For now, we have agreed to this policy of Remain in Mexico,” the newspaper quoted Cordero as saying. Speaking in an interview, she called it a “short-term solution.”
“The medium- and long-term solution is that people don’t migrate,” she said.
