Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said that according to a preliminary estimate, 87,648 people would reach the U.S. border during July. That would represent a fall of around 39.5% compared to the 144,278 migrants registered in May, he added. A jump in migrant apprehensions on the U.S. southwest border during the first few months of 2019 prompted Trump on May 30 to threaten tariffs on all Mexican exports to the United States if Mexico did not contain the flow of people.
Ebrard credited the migrant slowdown to rising job creation in Central America, spurred in part by the Mexican government’s efforts to foster development programs and growth there.
