El presidente mexicano Andrés Manuel López Obrador y su homólogo estadounidense Joe Biden pactaron poner en marcha nuevas iniciativas para frenar el flujo de migrantes que cruzan la frontera irregularmente.

En una conversación telefónica “los dos presidentes ordenaron a sus equipos de seguridad nacional trabajar en conjunto para implementar de inmediato medidas concretas, a fin de reducir significativamente los cruces fronterizos irregulares, protegiendo al mismo tiempo los derechos humanos”, indicó un comunicado conjunto divulgado el lunes.

El texto no aclara a qué medias se refiere.

Según indicó López Obrador en su conferencia matutina del lunes, “ellos pidieron la comunicación” pero dijo que es una de las muchas que han tenido lugar entre ambos. “Nos comunicamos periódicamente, yo le busco, él me busca, platicamos”, agregó.

El flujo migratorio por Centroamérica y México rompió récords en 2023 con más de medio millón de personas que cruzaron la selva del Darién, entre Colombia y Panamá, con destino a Estados Unidos. El número de migrantes que llegaron a la frontera sur estadounidense llegó a ser de hasta 12.000 migrantes al día en algunos puntos.

Desde principios de año las cifras de interceptaciones de migrantes en la frontera han disminuido y se mantienen entre las más bajas de la presidencia Biden. El número de arrestos por cruzar ilegalmente cayó en enero y luego también en marzo, una reducción que va contra el aumento habitual que suele registrarse en primavera y que se da en medio de una mayor vigilancia en México.

Sin embargo, el tema sigue preocupando mucho al presidente estadounidense, inmerso en una intensa campaña electoral para su reelección y en la que la inmigración es uno de los puntos centrales.

“Se va avanzando y es buena la relación con el presidente Biden”, dijo López Obrador, quien se jactó del éxito de las iniciativas puestas en marca para convencer y persuadir a las personas de no migrar de manera irregular. Entre estas medidas mencionó los programas sociales para atajar las causas de la migración.
