As usual in the fickle world of politics, now the government of Mexico is denying they made a deal with the Trump administration, as we reported Saturday. And today’s the day at least some of the migrants plan to march on the San Ysidro border crossing at 12 EST. That crossing was briefly shut down last week while border “hardening” occurred.
Different media are reporting that the march is either a run on the crossing or a “peaceful protest.”
Fox reported,
The marchers are expected to head out from the stadium, where many have been staying, and attempt to cross the border in a major test for both U.S. border authorities and Mexican officials. On Saturday, the first episode of caravan-related violence directed at U.S. authorities was reported by U.S. Border Patrol, as a 31-year-old Honduran man who apparently split off from the caravan threw rocks at agents and a helicopter in Arizona after setting a tree on fire.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
The prospective deal between the U.S. and Mexico was seen as a way to dissuade thousands of Central American migrants from seeking asylum in the U.S., a process that can take years. The legal bar for claiming asylum is high and generally requires applicants to show a specific risk of persecution based on factors such as race, nationality, politics or religion.

The caravan is going to have a peaceful protest tomorrow at 5am at the San Isidro crossing to awaken Trump’s heart. I really wish people in contact with the migrants would explain to them that the U.S. government doesn’t want them? They should protest their own countries. https://t.co/T6xkvMetAA

Will this be “peaceful?” Will the border be shut down completely?
The original story from Saturday read, in part:
Fox reports that the Trump administration has brokered a tentative deal with the Mexican government to keep asylum seekers in Mexico while their paperwork is processed.
The “Remain in Mexico” agreement would only be a temporary solution. The Trump administration hopes it will stop the “catch and release” policy that allows illegals to stay in the United States. Asylum claims can go on for years, according to Breitbart.
Migrants at the Southern Border will not be allowed into the United States until their claims are individually approved in court. We only will allow those who come into our Country legally. Other than that our very strong policy is Catch and Detain. No “Releasing” into the U.S…

….All will stay in Mexico. If for any reason it becomes necessary, we will CLOSE our Southern Border. There is no way that the United States will, after decades of abuse, put up with this costly and dangerous situation anymore!

The group who met together consisted of Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico’s incoming foreign minister, and top U.S. officials such as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Incoming Mexican Interior Minister Olga Sanchez Cordero told reporters it would only be a short term solution.
