Claudia Sheinbaum made history this week by becoming Mexico's first female president. As the politician is set to replace fellow Morena party member and current president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, she will also inherit a complex immigration crisis, and one that she will likely have to work with the U.S. with to try to fix.

Many experts and voters see Sheinbaum as someone who will follow AMLO's ideas and policies, but throughout the campaign, she already expressed some of her ideas and plans into some of the issues that will most likely plague her presidency, namely the border and immigration.
