Photographs of the document revealed that Mexico appeared to pledge to enact or enforce certain domestic laws if Washington is not satisfied with the results of its first promised efforts -- stopping migrants at Mexico's southern border and freezing the bank accounts of human traffickers who aid the migrants.
Washington said last week it wanted Mexico to agree to a"safe third country" policy: offering Central Americans who hope for asylum in the United States the chance to apply for it inside Mexico and remain there while their cases are reviewed.
