0:54Now PlayingSecretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas met Wednesday with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to talk stemming from the record-breaking surge of illegal immigration along the US-Mexico border.
The Cabinet secretaries and US Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar joined López Obrador in Mexico City for private talks lasting approximately three hours.
The high-profile meeting took place against a backdrop of new all-time daily records for illegal border crossings, which have overwhelmed authorities in Arizona and Texas and forced the temporary closure of two commercial rail links, as well as the approach of a caravan of around 8,000 migrants in a single party.
Border Patrol data indicated a single-day record of 14,509 migrant encounters on Dec. 18 — and a sustained monthlong spate of high detention numbers.
