Biden policies stir Mexican concerns over new boom for cartels
Al Jazeera
Mexico is worried that support for victims of violence and suspension of Trump-era policies is encouraging migrants.
Mexico’s government is worried that the new United States administration’s asylum policies are stoking irregular migration and creating business for organised crime, Reuters reported, citing officials and internal assessments. Ever since US President Joe Biden won the White House vowing to undo the hardline approach of his predecessor Donald Trump, Mexico has both looked forward to an end to migration burdens imposed by Trump, and braced for a new influx of people. Detentions on the US border have surged since Biden took office on January 20. Mexico has urged Washington to help stem the flow by providing development aid to Central America, from where most migrants come, driven by a humanitarian crisis.
