  • It would take years, if ever, for Mexico to accomplish what incoming US President Donald Trump is demanding to avoid tariffs: stemming the flow of migrants and drugs over the border.

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's persistent call for Mexico to halt the flow of migrants and drugs into the United States, a demand that has been a focal point of his political rhetoric for years. Despite his efforts, including negotiations and threats of tariffs, the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border remains complex. Trump's approach has often been criticized for oversimplifying the issue, ignoring the economic, social, and political factors driving migration and drug trafficking. The article highlights that while Trump's administration did see a temporary decrease in border crossings due to policies like the "Remain in Mexico" program, these measures have not provided a long-term solution. Furthermore, the piece notes that the current Mexican government under President López Obrador has its own challenges and priorities, which do not always align with U.S. demands, making Trump's expectations unlikely to be fully met. The ongoing debate around immigration and drug policy continues to be a contentious issue in U.S. politics, with no clear resolution in sight.
