Why Mexico matters to the United States
Mexico. America's neighbor. Political relations between the two countries haven't always been neighborly. For instance, the President of Mexico has boycotted a meeting in the United States in recent months. Which is why President Biden's visit there is one to watch.
It's easy to dismiss this meeting in Mexico as not being important or impacting your community. But you'd be wrong.
Mexico impacts what's happening at our southern border greatly.
Remember, a record number of illegal crossings have happened in recent months and mayors from Denver to New York have declared a state of emergency as a result.
Many migrants, especially, from the northern triangle in Central America, first cross through Mexico before they attempt to enter our country. If Mexico, restricts migration more at its southern border experts say the situation at the U.S. border may improve.
