The State Dept. says the two nations came to an agreement in the following areas:

Mexico will deploy its national guard throughout its country (with priority to its southern border) to help curb irregular migration.

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.

Mexico will offer jobs, healthcare and education to asylum seekers, according to its principles.

The U.S. will work to accelerate the adjudication of asylum claims and to conclude removal proceedings as expeditiously as possible.

Both nations have committed to sharing information and better coordinating actions to protect our border.
