WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador are putting in place new measures to crack down on illegal migration. Those steps include tougher enforcement measures on railways, buses and in airports and increased repatriation flights for migrants from both the U.S. and Mexico. The two leaders spoke about the issue during a call on Sunday. The new measures come as the U.S. president continues to deliberate whether to take executive action that would further crack down on the number of migrants arriving at the southern U.S. border.
