Mexico has told the United States that it wants a regional agreement to tackle the tide of migrants arriving at the two countries' borders, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said Tuesday.

Ebrard said he had raised the proposal in his telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday about arrivals of Haitians with refugee status in Brazil and Chile.

"I told him that it would be desirable to reach a regional agreement. We will be in communication about it," tweeted Ebrard, who plans to take up the issue with Blinken at the UN General Assembly in New York.

The State Department said after the phone call that the two top diplomats "discussed the need for a coordinated regional effort to stem the flow of irregular migration."

1. Can't we just let them stay - I miss the diversity

I miss trying to speak Spanish to the Mexicans, etc, and having great service - no one gives better service than our friends south of the border (and pay them living wages and benefits). They did not take jobs from Americans, that was just a Repubs talking point, can we please bring them back and let the Haitians stay; they added so much to my American experience of diversity.
