A Post photographer snapped an image of Trump's alleged secret Mexico deal. Here's what it says.
...
Here’s what I can make out of the text. Where I’m inferring a word or letters, I’ll put it in brackets:
[UNREADABLE] other party. The parties further intend [UNREADABLE] an agreem[ent] [UNREADABLE] to burden-sharing in relation to the processing of refuge[es] [UNREADABLE].
Mexico also commits to immediate[ly] [UNREADABLE] domestic laws and regulations with a view to identifying any changes that [UNREADABLE] to bring into force and implement such an agreement.
If the United States determines, at its discretion and after consultation with Mexico, after 45 calendar days from the date of the issuance of the Join Declaration, that the measures adopted by the Government of Mexico pursuant to the Joint Declaration have not sufficiently achieved results in addressing the flow of migrants to the southern border of the United States, the Government of Mexico will take all necessary steps under the domestic law to bring the agreement into force with a view to ensuring that the agreement will enter into force within 45 days.

A few observations:
1) The first question is obviously whether the document is legitimate. It is signed by two people, that we can see, but neither of these signatures are from the countries’ respective presidents, top diplomats or ambassadors to the other country. They appear to belong to Marik String, the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs, and Alejandro Celorio Alcantara, a deputy legal adviser in Mexico’s foreign ministry. (There could be other signatures that aren’t in view, along with the text of each name. The document appears to be folded in thirds, and the signatures appear to come before the fold that is two-thirds of the way through the document.)
