translated from Spanish: The key points of AMLO’s migratory plan

The federal government announced this Friday details about the plan to reduce the flow of Central American migrants in the southern border of Mexico, a phenomenon that should be stopped within 45 days.
The Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Marcelo Ebrard, said that no extra economic resources are required and there will be no additional cost pressures for the immigration plan.
On June 7, Mexico and the United States reached an agreement to stop the imposition of 5% tariffs on Mexican products, one of the main points agreed is that the influx of Central American migrants should be curbed on the US southern border.
Mexico pledged to reinforce its security controls on the southern border to reduce irregular migration, thus deploying elements of the National Guard in 11 municipalities on the southern border of Mexico.
The agreement between the two countries establishes that the United States will apply section 235-B2C of its immigration law. This implies that those who cross the US southern border to seek asylum will be returned without delay to Mexico where they will be able to await the resolutions of their requests.
Mexico agrees to receive asylum-seeking migrants in the United States for the duration of the trial for their stay or not in this country.
While the United States is committed to accelerating the resolution of asylum applications and proceed with the removal procedures as expeditious as possible.

The head of the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs (SRE), Marcelo Ebrard Casaubon, called on the international community to commit, support and participate in the actions undertaken by Mexico in matters of migration, because it is the obligation of all and “now is when” .
The Chancellor said that although Mexico must regulate migratory flows according to the law, international support is necessary to launch the comprehensive development Plan for Central America and “do not leave us alone,” because it can also be done in the short term. 
The current administration’s migratory plan seeks an orderly flow of Central Americans seeking to reach the United States and reduce migration, as agreed with Donald Trump’s government.
These are the main points.
– The deployment of the 6000 elements of the National Guard on the southern border will conclude next Tuesday, June 18.
