The information in that article is not very informative. "Canada reportedly had already laid out some of those border security measures and threw a few other things into the mix to please Trump." But when? And how? They didn't "lay anything out" that I can see. And if they did, what good came from it? "Back in 2019, then President Andrés Manuel López Obrador deployed thousands of soldiers to Mexico’s southern border to crack down on migrants heading to the U.S." If that's even true, then what good did it do? We broke all-time records for illegal crossings shortly after that "crackdown" began. The tariffs are still pending. Canada and Mexico have less than 1 month to show us what they can do. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Windows/64) * Origin: JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTP:80 (1:342/201) .
