IS THERE AN ATOM OF SUBSTANCE IN TRUMP'S LATEST MIGRANT DEAL WITH MEXICO?

We could have wasted a lot of our time and some of your time reporting on the ups-and-downs and ins-and-outs of Trump's latest migrant-related stand-off with Mexico -- the one where he threatened 5% tariffs if Mexico failed to staunch the flow of migrants to the US border.

We thought why bother. Trump generates plenty of heat and noise but very little in the way of results. The guy is fake news personified.

We're not even saying its his fault. 

But the fact is that getting excited by something Trump tweets out on Twitter is retarded. As a serious news organisation we are only interested in hard facts and clear results. So, what exactly is the substance of this latest migrant story?

Apparently Mexico was brought to the table and cut a deal, which Trump is being a little vague on. But thanks to Mexican sources and a document that Trump unwittingly allowed to be photographed while he was waving it around in his hand, we now know the gist of it.

As reported by the Guardian, one of the sources we let do our journalistic grunt work:

The document says the agreement reached last week includes a regional asylum plan and that Mexico agreed to examine its laws and potentially change them in order to implement the deal.

Mexico’s foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard, said Mexico also agreed to a 45-day timeline to show increased enforcement efforts were effective in reducing the people flows. If that fails, Mexico has agreed to consider a longstanding US demand that Central American asylum seekers crossing through Mexico apply for refuge there, not the United States, making Mexico a “safe third country”, a demand that Mexico has long rejected.

“Safe third country could be applied if we fail, and we accept what they say,” Ebrard said on Tuesday evening, noting that Mexican legislators would then give consideration to accommodating a change in migration law.

Really, there is nothing solid in this agreement at all!

Mexico agreed to examine its laws and potentially change them...

Whoopdeedoo! OK, send some balding Mexican bureaucrat guy to the look at a few Mexican law files. DONE!

Mexico also agreed to a 45-day timeline to show increased enforcement efforts were effective...

No indication of what is meant by "effective." The only number mentioned is 45 days. This is called kicking the can down the road.

If that fails, Mexico has agreed to consider a longstanding US demand that Central American asylum seekers crossing through Mexico apply for refuge there...

Consider is a nice word for sitting on your ass looking out a window, possibly at the long columns of Third World migrants -- including Congolese now FFS! -- snaking their way to the US border where they must of course be let in. 

Also, assuming Mexico could even be economically blackmailed into accepting "safe third country" status, which Conglolese migrant with a choice of applying for refugee status in Mexico or the US is going to choose Mexico?

Basically Trump's latest deal is just the usual globalist doormat, allowing ever more rapid demographic, racial, and cultural changes to America, while he continues to bat for Israel.
