Migrant Transit Centers in Latin American Countries

Mexico's president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador publicly stated that he rejected a U.S. request to set up migrant transit centers in Mexico. These centers were designed to be a place where migrants can for U.S. work and refugee visas. They are a part of a migratory strategy aimed at reducing the large number of migrants from Latin American and the Caribbean to the United States. Lopez Obrador reportedly denied the US request to set sites up in Mexico because he claimed he would "prefer to have such centers in countries that are the sources of migration". The Mexican president added that he would bring up the matter in an upcoming meeting with Latin American leaders which may result in a common agreement/plan.
