Big move by Mexico... But from what heard this morning, the Mexican national guard is brand new and is seriously lacking in soldiers and training. This could turn into a real shit show for Mexico if they aren't prepared for this.
Mexico's a resource rich country with arable land, famous culture, and strategic positioning.

The only reason Mexico isn't another Canada is systemic government corruption and failure to culturally accept the rule of law. Unfortunately at both elite and grassroots levels petty and major corruption is accepted as a fact of life.

No the national guard isn't ready. None of Mexico is. But it's good they are trying to create and implement institutions. Or they can just do nothing...which will result in the current shit show for mexico.

Creates trouble.
Backs out of trouble.
Declares victory over starting own trouble.
Mission accomplished.
I can't even tell if this guy believes his own bullshit anymore.
Nonsensical gibberish.

Trump explained his wishes and what the repercussions would be if Mexico didn't agree to help out with the situation.
Apparently Mexico agreed to help in some way to help curb the illegal immigration from their country.
Trump was apparently satisfied with their plan and agreed to hold off on the increased tariffs.

But please...continue with your hysteria. I find it fascinating.

To view this as anything but a win is engaging in mental cock pulling.

A joint statement released by both countries late Friday said that Mexico agreed to increase enforcement to curb irregular migration, including deployment of its newly created National Guard throughout the country, with a focus on its southern border with Guatemala. On Thursday night, Mexico’s Foreign Ministry said it would deploy up to 6,000 National Guard troops.

The U.S., meanwhile, said it would immediately expand the implementation of the existing “Migrant Protection Protocols” across its entire southern border, returning asylum seekers to Mexico.

“Those crossing the U.S. Southern Border to seek asylum will be rapidly returned to Mexico where they may await the adjudication of their asylum claims,” the statement said, adding that Mexico will authorize the entrance of all of those individuals for humanitarian reasons.

Both countries agreed to finalize the terms of additional provisions within 90 days.

Speaking to reporters at the conclusion of the talks in Washington, Mr. Ebrard said his country would take action to dismantle human-smuggling networks and work more closely with the U.S. to share information about migrants.

Mexico will accept the return of more migrants to await the resolution of their U.S. asylum cases, and offer them work permits, education and health services during their time in the country, Mr. Ebrard said.

In return, Mr. Ebrard added, the U.S. would accelerate several investment and development programs in Central America and Southern Mexico that were agreed to under a $5.8 billion aid package announced late last year

Sounds pretty successful
