“So, when it comes to the situation that you’re seeing on the ground, how do you think these meetings between the U.S. and Mexico, the ones that were had this week, the ones that are upcoming next month, how do you think they might change the dynamic that you’re facing in your town?” Boris Sanchez asked.
“I think they will. It’s primarily because Mexico has the same problem that the U.S. has,” Treviño said.
“These migrants come from South America, not from Mexico. So, they’re having to deal with the problem and they are looking at incentives being — of having asylum here in the U.S.”
“So, Mexico says, how can we stop that if the asylum is being given to them? What is the incentive for Mexico for using their resources, when [we’re] just letting everyone — everybody in for claiming asylum?”
“We need Mexico’s help in intercepting these caravans, and because of our current immigration policies, they’re probably not working that well.”
“But I think those meetings are important to get some solutions.”
