Despite Trump Threats, AMLO Halved Mexico Migration Spending

The cuts come amid an influx of undocumented migrants from Central America, which prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to threaten Mexico with a 5% tariff on all goods if it doesn’t stop them from crossing the U.S. border.The combination of steep budget cuts and soaring immigration has overwhelmed the INM, which needs more funding to operate properly, said Rodolfo Cruz Pineiro, director of the population studies department at Mexico’s Northern Border College in Tijuana.
