>>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. - lizdgal>/I>

You are missing the pint that the incentive/reward is for Mexico to close its southern border. Immigrants stopped before entering Mexico are immigrants we will never see.

That said, it is NOT a question of how many encounters are experienced on our southern border, but rather which side of the border do they end up on after the encounter. Right now, 95+% of them are welcomed onto the US side. Under Trump, only those who obtained a visa before showing up should be let in. And the insane policy of flying un-vetted immigrants over the border and not counting them as encounters at all has to come to an end.
