Yup. Saw a report from Fox Noise on youtube some minutes ago. The Fox report said they have the migrant issue fixed. They are working the drug issue.
Meanwhile, the guy with bad hair to the north, is digging in his heels. I don’t see mass caravans of brown people crossing the northern border, so the “illegal immigrant” problem seems a mystery to me.

Seems Sheinbaum had a different conversation.
Sheinbaum’s account differed from Trump’s.
“In our conversation with President Trump, I explained to him the comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights,” she said on X. “We reiterate that Mexico’s position is not to close borders but instead build bridges between government and people.”
I wonder whether the threat of tariffs is merely a negotiating position. I suspect the tariffs that he describes would start a high-inflation depression in the U.S. I’m prepared as well as anyone can be for that, but I certainly would not look forward to it with any optimism.
