In a bold move to tackle the ongoing migrant surge at the border, top advisors of President Biden have engaged in robust conversations with the President of Mexico. During the meeting, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas have requested Mexico's assistance in easing the influx of migrants. The advisors have put forth several proposals, including the relocation of migrants farther south, increased control over the railways used by migrants, and offering incentives to deter them from traveling to the border.
The urgency of the situation cannot be denied. Border apprehensions have surged to alarming numbers, with a staggering 10,000 encounters in a single day back in December. Although there has been a temporary dip in apprehensions, currently averaging around 6,000 to 7,000 per day, the numbers remain substantial.
