The Mexican government said Thursday it would seek help from the United Nations refugee agency in coordinating efforts with other Central American governments to manage immigrants arriving to Mexico’s southern border seeking refugee status.
The measure “seeks to guarantee the security and integrity of migrants, particularly minors, the elderly and women, and to avoid people being deceived by international criminal organizations dedicated to human trafficking, who put their lives in danger,” the Mexico's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
“Finally, the government of Mexico reiterates its commitments with the international community's efforts in favor of safe, orderly and regular migration; and with the human rights of migrants. At the same time, it expresses its conviction that dialogue and international cooperation among countries of origin, transit and destination of migrants are indispensable to confront the challenges that the migratory phenomenon implies,” it added.
The statement follows President Trump’s Twitter warning earlier Thursday in which he said he could take military action to close the southern border if Mexico does not take action to stop the “onslaught,” referring to a caravan of over 4,000 migrants making their way north from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
"I am watching the Democrat Party led (because they want Open Borders and existing weak laws) assault on our country by Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, whose leaders are doing little to stop this large flow of people, INCLUDING MANY CRIMINALS, from entering Mexico to U.S.," he said in an initial tweet.
“In addition to stopping all payments to these countries, which seem to have almost no control over their population, I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught — and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!” he said in a follow-up post.
“The assault on our country at our Southern Border, including the Criminal elements and DRUGS pouring in, is far more important to me, as President, than Trade or the USMCA,” he added, referring to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade. “Hopefully Mexico will stop this onslaught at their Northern Border. All Democrats fault for weak laws!”
Send the Guatamalans to Syria. The country needs the help rebuilding.
“Help” from the UN? Heck, most of the world would suggest they provide trains and planes for the caravan, why walk?
The UN? They’ll stamp them, “Forward to the north.”
Oh boy. The U.N. on the US border.
“..“Finally, the government of Mexico reiterates its commitments with the international community’s efforts in favor of safe, orderly and regular migration; and with the human rights of migrants....”
Gee, that’s SWELL, Mexico. You can keep them in YOUR country then, and we’ll see how much you appreciate and favor it.
Shut the damn border down now, with the military if necessary.
this is turning out to be brilliant. let the UN put it’s money where it’s mouth is.
okay, okay, I understand that it’s mostly our money. it’s a metaphor.
Hey, Hondurans. Welcome to New Palestine.
Hope you like the squalid tent camps.
El Norte ees closed, maricons.
As long as they just get asylum in Mexico. But the UN is untrustworthy, they will do anything they can to screw our country.
Espero que si.
I have a better idea:
Keep them ALL out!!!! Out of Mexico, and out of the USA!!!!
The UN? They’ll stamp them, “Forward to the north.”

Migrant: To request asylum in the United States.
Officer: Why are you requesting asylum?
Migrant: Because I fear for my life from gang activity.
Officer: Why didn't you apply for asylum in Mexico?
Migrant: ........................
In other words, they want someone to share the blame. C'mon Mexico. Man up! Or are you so internally corrupt you can't? Bet the drug cartels are putting lots of pressure on to stop the invasion. If President Trump calls out the troops it will have a devastating effect on your lucrative drug trade.
Send blue helmets with redrider wagons and poohbears. And blankeys. Can’t forget the blankeys.
Refugees are obligated to stop in the first safe country.
If they are truly refugees, then by international law, they stop in Mexico. They don’t get to continue on to literally richer pickings.
The UN will help them by DEMANDING we let them in... Mexico, why not employ them. Carlos Slim might help them get a job...
