Mexico`s president said on Monday he will talk with US President Joe Biden by telephone on Tuesday about immigration and the fentanyl crisis. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the leaders will also discuss development programmes to help stem the flow of migrants to the US border.
The conversation comes two days before the end of pandemic-era immigration restrictions that allowed US authorities to quickly expel migrants who crossed the border illegally. Lopez Obrador appealed to migrants not to use smugglers to travel to the US border. "Don`t allow yourselves to be fooled," Lopez Obrador said during his morning news briefing. "Don`t allow yourselves to be blackmailed by coyotes, smugglers, who put you at risk."
