Trump stated that Mexico had agreed to stop migration through its territory, effectively closing the southern U.S. border. \u200bHowever, this assertion overlooks Mexico&#8217;s pre-existing policies that had already led\u2063 to a significant reduction in encounters at the border\u2014specifically, a 75% decrease.\u2064 <\/p>\n<p>Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum\u200b responded\u2063 by highlighting \u200bthat Mexico has been actively addressing illegal immigration\u2064 and managing migrant caravans within its territory, which has prevented their arrival at the U.S. border. She emphasized that Mexico&#8217;s approach focuses on cooperation \u2064and building connections rather than closing borders. Moreover, reports indicate that Mexico has been stopping far more migrants this year compared to last year, following increased pressure from the Biden\u2063 administration to help secure the border. <\/p>\n<p>the article suggests \u2062that Trump&#8217;s \u2063claims \u200cmay disregard the substantial actions\u2063 already taken by Mexico to manage migration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump&rsquo;s Mexico back-and-forth glosses over what was already being done<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1896195\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a>&lsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3245041\/trump-mexico-sheinbaum-border-miles-apart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">declaration<\/a> on Wednesday that Mexico&nbsp;had agreed to &ldquo;stop Migration through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mexico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Mexico<\/a>, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border&rdquo; ignores Mexico&rsquo;s previously enacted policies that led to a 75% decrease in &ldquo;encounters&rdquo; at the southern border.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Mexican President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/claudia-sheinbaum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Claudia Sheinbaum's\">Claudia Sheinbaum&rsquo;s<\/a> response to Trump&rsquo;s claim of success in handling the southern border also suggested that Mexico has been working to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ariz-rep-seeks-to-pause-immigration-for-10-years\/\" title=\"Ariz.
