Opinion: The U.S. push to designate Mexico a 'safe third country' for refugees is a farce
Central American migrants climb on the train known as"the beast" in Ixtepec, Mexico, on their way to the United States. By León Krauze León Krauze Bio Follow May 2 at 3:55 PM Last spring, the Trump administration began pushing an idea onto Mexican officials: Mexico should sign a “safe third country” agreement with the United States that would allow the growing wave of Central American immigrants to apply for asylum in the country, effectively authorizing U.S.
The report also urges the Trump administration to negotiate what it calls the North American Family Protection Initiative — essentially, again, a “safe third country” deal with Mexico that would, it assumes, “dramatically reduce the number of migrants with a child in tow from Central America.”The initiative would be, according to the DHS council, “the single most important action” the administration could take to manage the immigrant crisis from Central America.
What it has certainly not done is improve the country’s capacity to deal with the surge in potential refugees in a humane way. Quite the contrary. In strict opposition to the recommendations of groups such as Human Rights Watch, the López Obrador administration drastically cut funds to official agencies that deal with immigration.
