I'm not sure about other border states. But no, the only thing Asshole has given them is empty words.

In effect, we have no president.

ETA: It looks like USAID has sent a search and rescue team. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/21/politics/us-mexico-earthquake-usaid-rescue-team/

Surprised he hasn't cut their funding yet. He probably didn't realize they existed.

It is one of the same rescue teams run by FEMA but works under the State Department when they go international.

In other times, we would likely do more but the system is strained right now in Puerto Rico and in the aftermath of Harvey and Irma.
