Report: Mexico Getting Illegals Bus Tickets to 'Different Places Along The Border' to 'Spread Them Out'

Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, agrees that Mexico has been more cooperative with the Trump administration.

“There is lots of room for improvement obviously,” he says, “but they've been much more cooperative than they have been before in trying to limit this flow of people from Central America.”

With that said, however, he advises that supposed assistance has been just for show such as the caravan that was halted at the border.

“What they ended up doing was just getting people bus tickets to different places along the border to kind of spread them out,” Krikorian recalls, “so that if they were going to cross they wouldn't be doing it all in one big unit, which would be bad optics, be incendiary.”

Much of the supposed “cooperation” therefore amounts to an attempt at good public relations with Trump, he adds.

Most illegal immigrants dropped at gas station in Deming, NM to wait for bus carried duffle bags & backpacks. Woman (in pink shirt) directed them to enter, then left.

These are taxpayer dollars. At beginning of video you see homeless man begging. Where is money for him? #nmpol pic.twitter.com/UQ1RIMiXyk
