Biden spoke Sunday with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and agreed to take steps to curb irregular crossings, the White House said in a statement Monday. The two leaders discussed how to effectively manage hemispheric migration, strengthen operational efficiency on our shared border, and thereby improve the security and prosperity of citizens of both countries.
In the short term, the two leaders ordered their national security teams to work together to immediately implement concrete measures to significantly reduce irregular border crossings while protecting human rights. Aside from those short-term measures, Biden and Lopez Obrador also pledged to advance initiatives to address the root causes of migration.
Biden and Lopez Obrador agreed to keep the border open so that those who carry out their legal procedures can reach the United States. The Mexican president stated that there will be no irregular migration, emphasizing the importance of legal procedures for entering the United States.
