This is John Batchelor, conversation with geopolitical future analyst Allison Fadirka writing about

the new president of Mexico, Claudia Shinebaum, and the policies during the campaign,

the policies inherited from Amlo,

her very able and popular predecessor,

Lopez-Obrador,

and challenges ahead for especially migration. I ask Allison about the southern border

of Mexico with Guatemala, where the migrants coming from the Darien Gap must pass in order to get to

northern Mexico and pass into the United States.

I ask if Kla Shambam has policy in any fashion to stem the flow from Guatemala into Mexico.

Allison gives a very careful answer.

Allison Vodurca, Geopolitical futuresures, the Guatemala Mexican border, what is to be done.

More of this later.

The Mexico-Gu Guatemala Border, the approach is not going to change, but what does that look like right now? Mexico has been

trying and working to control the inflow of migrants at that crossing. There's a lot of

land that is porous that they don't have direct control or capacity to prevent crossings and the main strategy that they've been trying to coordinate is actually US working with Guatemalan authorities and working with authorities in Central America to try and encourage people to get visas locally before they travel and try to stem migration that way because Mexico on its own with its security forces are having a really hard time single-handedly stopping any entrance of people from

Guatemala into Mexico and so they really do require coordination with the US and Guatemala,

as well as with Central American governments

trying to stem that flow from the South into Mexico.
