The government data obtained by CBS News revealed that the United States immigration officials on the southern border expect to process more than 300,000 migrants in December alone, which is an all-time monthly high. The report said that it will likely include a record number of families travelling with children.&nbsp;

This came amid reports emerged that migrants amassed at the US southern border with Mexico as officials from both countries agreed to work together more closely to tackle record migration at their shared border.&nbsp;

The migrants gathered behind barbed wire set up by the state of Texas and patrolled by the Texas National Guard. They were to be processed.&nbsp;

This is the first time, as monthly statistics dating back to the fiscal year 2000 showed that the US Customs and Border Protection has never processed that many migrants along the southern border in one month.&nbsp;

Mexican and US officials have agreed to work together more closely to tackle record migration at their shared border, the countries' governments said in a joint statement on Thursday, a day after high-level talks on stemming record numbers.

Following a visit to Mexico by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the countries said they would seek to strengthen a sponsorship initiative for Venezuelan, Cuban, Nicaraguan and Haitian migrants and look to tackle the root causes of migration.

The delegations, who are set to meet again in Washington next month, also discussed regularizing the situation of beneficiaries of the U.S. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program - the so-called Dreamers who were brought into the country illegally as children - and long-time undocumented Hispanic migrants living in the United States.

The talks came after the U.S. temporarily shuttered some border crossings to redeploy agents toward enforcement, sparking a trade slowdown and criticism by Republicans of the Biden administration's border policies. Immigration and the border are expected to be top issues in the U.S. 2024 elections, where President Joe Biden, a Democrat, is running for a second term.

Earlier Thursday, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the two parties had agreed to keep border crossings open after the temporary closures.

"This agreement has been reached, the rail crossings and the border bridges are already being opened to normalize the situation," Lopez Obrador told a morning press conference.

Lopez Obrador said Wednesday's meetings with the U.S. delegation were "direct," and he praised the Biden administration's relationship with Mexico.

<h2>'Faith in God'</h2>

More than half a million migrants this year crossed the dangerous Darien Gap jungle connecting South America with Central America – double last year's record – with many fleeing crime, poverty and conflict to seek better prospects in the United States.

The latest of a series of caravans of migrants and asylum seekers, many with small children, is slowly walking across southern Mexico, heading towards the U.S border. Lopez Obrador estimated that the caravan counts some 1,500 people but some activists and local media have put the figure at 7,000.

"We have to have faith in God," Honduran migrant Marvin Mejias said as he travelled with his son, who has had foot surgery. Mejias said he hoped the governments had reached a deal which would help him enter the U.S. and be able to work there.

Lopez Obrador said the issue of fentanyl, a powerful and deadly opioid that Mexican cartels have been trafficking into the U.S., was "hardly discussed" in Wednesday's meeting.

The United States has been pressing Mexico to do more to combat fentanyl trafficking, while Mexico has been pushing for stronger U.S. controls to prevent U.S. firearms from reaching the powerful cartels.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Mexico to address migrant surge | World News | WION

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held talks Wednesday in Mexico in hopes of tackling surging migration, which has become a major political headache for President Joe Biden as he enters an election year.

The unusual Christmas week trip by the top American diplomat was abruptly scheduled as the rival Republican Party presses Biden to crack down on migration as a condition for providing the votes in Congress for one of his key priorities -- support for Ukraine.

Blinken held just over two hours of closed-door talks with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and other top Mexican officials during the one-day visit.

Lopez Obrador, who spoke to Biden by telephone last week, said before the meeting that Mexico was "helping a lot" in addressing migration and would continue to do so.

"People leave their towns out of necessity and there's a lot of economic and social crisis in the world. It's necessary to further promote productive activities and job creation," he said.

Around 10,000 people without authorisation are trying to cross the southern US border each day, nearly double the number before the pandemic, with a new caravan of hundreds if not thousands of people heading by foot since the past weekend.

"Nobody's going to stop migration," activist and caravan organizer Luis Garcia Villagran said, complaining that migrants were being treated as "currency" by the US and Mexican governments.

"A budget of billions of dollars is being settled right now to mitigate migration. With all the gold and money in the world, they cannot stop people seeking better living conditions," he told reporters in southern Mexico.

<h2>Legal crossings affected</h2>

US border authorities have been so overwhelmed that they have suspended several legal crossings to focus on processing undocumented migrants.

Reopening those crossings "is a priority for us" given the close trade links between the two countries, Mexican Foreign Minister Alicia Barcena told reporters after the talks, which she described as "excellent."

Blinken, whose trip is a break from months of focus on the Middle East crisis, was accompanied by Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas along with White House homeland security advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall.

Mexico, under agreements with both Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump, has agreed at least temporarily to take in migrants seeking to cross into the United States.

The package proposed by Biden to Congress would also fund 1,300 additional Border Patrol agents to help address migration.

The Biden administration has warned that without a deal, Ukraine will soon run out of weapons needed to repel the nearly two-year-old Russian invasion.

On Wednesday, the US State Department announced what it said was the last remaining package of weapons available for Ukraine under existing authorisation and urged Congress to "act swiftly" to renew the flow.&nbsp;

However, Republican hardliners have shown little sign of compromise.

Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination to challenge Biden next November, is again campaigning on stridently anti-immigrant rhetoric, accusing foreigners of "poisoning the blood of our country," language that critics pointed out was similar to that of Adolf Hitler.

<h2>'No magic wand'</h2>

Andrew Rudman, director of the Mexico Institute at the Wilson Center in Washington, expected Blinken to seek additional support from Mexico to keep migrants within its borders, such as temporary work permits.

"The Biden administration wants to show for its own domestic political reasons that they're doing everything they possibly can," he said.

"One of the challenges is that everybody wants a short-term solution to a global, long-standing problem," Rudman said of migration. "There is no magic wand."

Migrants have been fleeing Central American countries ravaged by poverty, violence, and disasters worsened by climate change.

In recent months there has also been an uptick in migrants heading through Mexico from Haiti, which has been devastated by gang violence and a lack of a functioning government, and from Venezuela, where basic goods have fallen in short supply after years of economic chaos.

Maria Alicia Ulloa, a Honduran who is part of the latest caravan, voiced fears that tougher US-Mexican immigration measures would mean returning to a country beset by crime and unemployment.

"We emigrate with the hope of giving a better life to our children, and a better life to the relatives who remain behind," she said.

It is that time of the year when the festive season is here and people are traveling back home to be with their loved ones but for some Christmas is not going to be so merry as a record number of migrants wearing red holiday outfits continue to cross the US-Mexico border over the weekend.

Massive migrant caravan in Mexico heads to US border, escalating challenges amid Blinken`s visit

A massive caravan of migrants originating from Central America, Venezuela, Cuba, and various other nations was making its way through Mexico towards the US border&nbsp;on Sunday (Dec 25). This unprecedented procession, consisting of approximately 6,000 individuals, including numerous families with young children, underscored the apparent shortcomings in the collaborative efforts of the Biden administration and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's government to curb the escalating flow of migrants seeking entry into the United States.

The Christmas Eve caravan commenced its journey from Tapachula&nbsp;near Mexico's southern border with Guatemala&nbsp;just days before Secretary of State Antony Blinken's scheduled visit to Mexico City.&nbsp;

Blinken will travel to Mexico on December 27 and will be joined by Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas and White House Homeland Security Advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall. US State Secretary "will discuss unprecedented irregular migration in the Western Hemisphere and identify ways Mexico and the United States will address border security challenges, including actions to enable the reopening of key ports of entry across our shared border," the State Department said in a press release.&nbsp;

Despite previous attempts by Mexican authorities to dissuade such migrations by employing tactics where security forces observe and wait for the caravan to tire out, the current caravan's sheer size indicated a persistence of migrant flows that has been challenging to curb.

Individuals within the caravan, such as Cristian Rivera from Honduras, expressed their frustrations, citing prolonged waiting periods without resolution.

“We’ve been waiting here for three or four months without an answer," Rivera said adding, “Hopefully with this march, there will be a change and we can get the permission we need to head north.”

In May, President Lopez Obrador agreed to receive migrants rejected by the US, including those from Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba, who did not adhere to specific migration rules. However, the effectiveness of this deal in curbing post-pandemic migration looks insufficient, given the renewed surge in migrant numbers.

As the US heads for presidential polls early next year, the migrant crisis along the country's borders remains the most debated issue.&nbsp;
