Secretary of State Antony Blinken travelled to Mexico on Wednesday in hopes of tackling surging migration. Around 10,000 people without authorisation are trying to cross the southern US border each day, nearly double the number before the pandemic, with a new caravan of hundreds if not thousands of people leaving by foot from southern Mexico on Sunday. Blinken is expected to push Mexico's President Obrador to increase resources for border control and law enforcement to "keep migrants in southern Mexico before they even reach the border at all," The Guardian's Washington Bureau Chief David Smith told FRANCE 24.
