MEXICO CITY Mexicos top security official said Wednesday the government will close off illegal entries at its southern border with Guatemala, but didnt say how the country plans to do it.
Interior Secretary Olga Sanchez Cordero also said the migrant caravans that crossed the southern border in October is no longer an issue.
Do you know why it is no longer an issue? Because in five days this administration solved the issue, five days, she said, referring to the first week since President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador took office Dec. 1. The United States was impressed.
The new administration has mobilized material and equipment to improve conditions at the migrants shelter in the northern border city of Tijuana, but problems continue because the Central American there are frustrated by the slow pace at which U.S. officials are processing asylum requests.
Sanchez Cordero said Mexico will promote a Christmas at Home campaign to encourage many of the migrants to return to their home countries for the holidays.
Discussing the entry of migrants, she said the new administration will end the practice of undocumented or illegal crossings over the Suchiate River, which marks much of the border between Mexico and Guatemala.

...and getting Guatemala to pay for it.
And, he'll get Mexico to pay for it.
“How about building a wall?”
It appears that US are oblivious to “WHY” after about 170-years, the last 10-20 years reveal a need for a wall.
What changed? My best observation is that it’s Mexico and points south that have a problem.
To me, our problem is simply other nations want US via cultural devolution and open-ended purse strings to solve their problem. Irony is that their problem goes unsolved if not metastasizing.
How about our President politely & quietly telling their Presidents - ‘mano a mano’ - “you best get your s**t together and fix your domestic problems”.
In object lesson style, bankrupting, or worse, the cartels and perhaps a few recalcitrant individuals will go far to reestablishing order.
They do not need greasy border hoppers from South of them anymore
Has to be really cold in TJ in a tent. 38 degrees in San Diego this morning.
Maybe what they'll do next is march back to the US Consulate and demand delivery of trailers, with running water and electricity.
As long as Mexico understands that they will involuntarily become a settlement destination rather than just a pass-through country.
The Mexican Rio Grande.
Tear gas?
This might work better...
They should build a wall and we should pay for it.
Wait....
Mexico may get border security before we do. Racist bastards. /s
