US and Mexico tighten immigration policies to address border crisis.

The US-Mexico migration deal to curb the surge of migrants arriving at the US doorstep could further overwhelm border cities already struggling to cope. The agreement suggests a significant policy shift on migration between both nations, with Mexico accepting migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, and Nicaragua who are turned away from the US. The change means the United States could increasingly rely on Mexico to accept deportees from countries other than Mexico, piling further pressure on border cities already struggling with large migrant populations. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of migrants are already on their way to Mexico and the US after having crossed through the deadly Darién Gap between Panama and Colombia.
