Mexico's president rejects US request for migrant transit centers, seeks regional approach
Fox News
Mexico's president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has stated that he has declined a U.S. request to establish migrant transit centers within Mexico.
López Obrador said that he would raise the subject in a meeting of Latin American leaders he will host later this month, suggesting that the countries might agree to a common plan on such sites.
"We have been looking at setting up sites in Mexico, because they (the United States) have asked for it," López Obrador said. "We have not accepted it, first we want to talk to the presidents," referring to the Oct. 22 meeting with the leaders of 11 countries that are on migration routes.
