I'm glad that this is proceeding in a reasonable manner. There's lots to offer on both sides of the border. Mexico benefits from US companies such as Walmart, HEB Supermarkets, Greyhound, Uber, etc., while the US benefits from Mexican investors and business owners. Strategic use of Mexican labor keeps prices low on both side of the border with US know-how combined with Mexican workers. One big step forward would be for Mexico to implement an effective criminal background check system, perhaps with the assistance of US technology. The manner in which Canada keeps US DUI convicts out would be a good model to keep criminal Mexicans out of the US. I read in a different newspaper that a number of Monterrey businessmen reside in and operate out of Dallas because it's more secure.

"For now, we have agreed to this policy of Remain in Mexico," said Olga Sánchez Cordero, Mexico's incoming interior minister, the top domestic policy official for López Obrador, who takes office Dec. 1. In an interview with The Washington Post, she called it a "short-term solution."
"The medium- and long-term solution is that people don't migrate," Sánchez Cordero said. "Mexico has open arms and everything, but imagine, one caravan after another after another, that would also be a problem for us."
