Mexico asked the U.N. Thursday for assistance in grappling with the migrant caravan that’s knocking on its border, saying international officials must help figure out who deserves asylum and who should be deported or refused entry.
The request came as hundreds of Mexican police faced off across the Mexico-Guatemala border against the vanguard of the caravan, which has grown to some 4,000 people, mostly from Honduras. Some migrants have reportedly already made it to shelters in Mexico.
Mexican officials are desperately seeking a way to block the migrants after President Trump earlier Thursday threatened to cancel the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal he’s working on as punishment for Mexico failing to patrol its own southern border.
He said another option would be to deploy the U.S. military.
“The assault on our country at our Southern Border, including the criminal elements and DRUGS pouring in, is far more important to me, as president, than trade or the USMCA,” he said on Twitter. “Hopefully Mexico will stop this onslaught.”
