Another element could be USA providing a few billion in aid AFTER Mexico closes their southern border.

How closed do you want it?

Southwest border encounters by the U.S. Border Patrol were (per month):
20k January 2017
130k May 2019
40k November 2019
250k December 2023
60k August 2024

Really, anything more than 50k is a failure. That's over half a million encounters a year. Just as a reference point, 8 million people left Venezuela in the last 10 years.
