The United States and Mexico have agreed on a general plan for solving the problem of a caravan of migrants

American and Mexican officials have agreed on a general plan to solve the problem of a caravan of migrants coming from the countries of Central America to the American border.

According to this plan, which was developed over several months, Mexico turned to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees with a request to create shelters along its southern border with Central America, writes Fox News.

“Today, in a very important step, the Mexican government asked the UN and the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees to intervene in the situation and assist Mexico in processing any asylum claims from members of the caravan. This will establish a process whereby we monitor human rights at our border while respecting international law. If there are valid requests for asylum, they will be processed,” he said. пMexico's Mexico Osol in Jeronimo Gutierrez.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompe, in turn, said that the States "Welcome the statement by the Government of Mexico that they will seek cooperation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to address immigration problems in the region, including the influx of people arriving in Mexico. ”

“The United States stands ready to assist the Government of Mexico and the UN Commissioner for Refugees in these efforts,” Pompeo said.

If one of the immigrants manages to bypass the new system and get into the United States, after passing through Mexico, Mexico will allow these people to return to their territory when they are expelled from the United States. Under earlier rules, the United States should have placed these people on its territory until their cases were examined in court and returned to their country of origin.

At shelters on the southern border of Mexico, UN officials will verify immigrant data to decide which of them has a legal basis for requesting refugee status.

If any person or persons are legally entitled to receive refugee status, the UN will consider their case and decide on their placement in the host country, it may be the United States or any other state that has an agreement with the United Nations on receiving refugees.

ВThose who came to the Mexican border without legal grounds for asylum will be sent back to their countries.

Recall, in October migrant caravan left Honduras and initially consisted of approximately 2 thousand people, now their number has increased to an estimated 4 thousand.

President of the United States Donald Trump threatened Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala with a halt to financial aidif they do not stop the accession of their citizens to the caravan and their illegal advance to the territory of the United States.

Additionally, he threatened to close the border with Mexicoif the country does not solve the question of the approaching caravan.
