US neighbors balk at Trump plan for deported migrants

  • The Bahamas on Thursday said it had rejected a proposal from the incoming Trump administration to receive deported migrants, with Mexico and Panama also stressing they would only take back their own citizens.

The article discusses the resistance from Mexico and other Latin American countries to a plan proposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, which would involve deporting migrants to these countries regardless of their nationality. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has explicitly stated that Mexico will not accept migrants deported from the U.S. who are not Mexican citizens. Similarly, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras have also expressed opposition to accepting non-citizen migrants. This plan, part of Trump's broader immigration policy, aims to manage the influx of migrants at the U.S. southern border by externalizing the processing and housing of asylum seekers. Critics argue that this approach not only violates international law but also places an unfair burden on neighboring countries, many of which are already dealing with significant economic and security challenges. The proposal has reignited debates on immigration policy, sovereignty, and international cooperation.
