U.S, Mexico Agree On Tighter Policies At Border

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. and Mexican officials on Tuesday agreed on new immigration policies meant to deter illegal border crossings while also opening up other pathways ahead of an expected increase in migrants following the end of pandemic restrictions. Mexico — despite sharing a 1,951-mile border with the U.S. — had been notably absent from the rollout last week of a fresh set of border control efforts, including the creation of hubs outside the United States where migrants could go to apply to legally settle in the U.S., Spain or Canada. The first centers will open in Guatemala and Colombia.
