pass through guatemala would be required to stop and seek asylum there 1st otherwise they would be ineligible for asylum in the u.s. many central american migrants heading for the united states passed through the mexican state of veracruz hundreds have been detained since mexico's stepped up efforts to curb the flow of migrants. joins us now live from vera cruz that's where the meeting between the mexican and honduran leaders are taking place when well any idea of what they're likely to talk about as far as measures to try and limit the number of migrants. we have just seen the conclusion of the week there and mexican presidents we did hear from both world leaders talking about a new development plan geared toward central america specifically the countries of el salvador guatemala and honduras hunters being the most important given that this is where a majority of central american migrants that are northbound toward the united

states are originating from now a bit about that plan that was outlined today by the mexican president the acting president has committed $100000000.00 toward the 3 men the 3 countries that we just mentioned this is a development plan that is being sold not is a not of the handout but rather a hand up with the promise of jobs subsidies for agriculture jobs this is very important given the fact that we're hearing continuously from migrants from central america citing the lack of jobs citing the lack of opportunities as one of the several reasons leave their home countries and we also heard once again the mexican president calling on the united states to do more to participate more to invest in this development plan as a sort of more sustainable strategy toward addressing the ongoing migrant crisis in central america. and it all sounds good a development plan more money towards the states to try to tackle the root causes

but none of that is going to immediately or is likely not to immediately stem the flow of migrants as the u.s. once. that's certainly right it's a good 1st step but there's no reason to believe that a one time payment or a $1.00 time mill $100000000.00 development plan is going to solve the migrant crisis again it's a good 1st step addressing widespread poverty knowing that that region of central america known as the northern triangle solved or guatemala honduras is one of the poorest regions in the western hemisphere certainly one of the poorest regions in the world but the truly tackle the issue of the migrant crisis in central america specifically with the country of honduras if you have to look we need to look at a sustainable international plant in the strategic plan that not only addresses widespread poverty but also looks at widespread violence given that hundreds has such a high homicide rate and also the issue of corruption looking at the statistics in

honduras we know that anywhere between 30 percent and 40 percent of all revenue generated by the government is stolen by politicians and this is corruption that goes all the way to the top ironically there are still several questions and concerns over how the government wonder is this going to manage this money and whether or not there will be any oversight mechanisms to make sure that just like other international development plans that land in honduras don't end up in the coffers of the oligarchy and in the coffers of corrupt politicians thank you very much vera cruz for a meeting is taking place between the mexican and honduran leaders. battle in 10 minutes that we did regional researcher for the americas with amnesty international and she joins us live from mexico city via skype thank you very much for coming on this program now is our correspondent was saying a good 1st step with mexico giving $100000000.00 to the central american region

but how difficult is it going to be to. address the actual root causes of of what we're seeing of the reason why migrants are leaving in such large numbers. well the bia in many cases we're talking about people that yes in many cases may be looking for jobs but we're also talking about many people who would qualify as refugees because they're fleeing for their lives so in what 10 minutes i would go and hundreds you see 3 countries that have very little wracked by criminal networks that exercise in many places in some of these countries territorial control with extortions threats violence and homicides and the justice system in each of these 3 countries is on equipped to deal with these issues so these are entrenched issues that will take more unfortunately then then this post aid package but more over. these countries will be compounded by the unconscionable agreements that are

happening right now when the united states is outsourcing its responsibility under international refugee law to give protection to people fleeing from violence so it's a very complex situation which unfortunately the governments of the region are not stepping up to sufficiently and that deal was what you're referring to is that migrants would have to 1st seek asylum in guatemala before they can even be considered for asylum in the u.s. what do you think is going to be the impact of that is that going to limit the number of migrants and how is it going to affect the people who are trying to seek safety or a better life. well executive yes i was speaking about the agreement signed yesterday by the united states something that amnesty international considers on multiple under international law whereby people from honduras and el salvador if they want to seek asylum in the united states they will not be able to do so and then have to seek asylum in guatemala which is a country itself which

a year on year has many refugees fleeing. and so the effect of these policies is that we're seeing a race to the bottom in the region in terms of sidelining human rights of vulnerable people now history has shown that in fact migration flows do not really reduce when had and border control measures a put in such as these initially we may see a drop and we've seen that in the last couple of months up to mexico took in new measures but actually what we see in the long run and refugees and migrants may initially hold out but then usually an uptick or a spike is very readily coming straight afterwards so people do not cease to flee or to migrate because of the reception conditions that countries have the reasons why people leave their countries is because they did not have protection in the countries so only tackling the root causes is what is going to work unfortunately

what we will see with these hardline crackdowns in the region is that more and more human lives lost and so we have seen this since president donald trump has been threatening mexico and central american governments with terrorists we've seen increasing minute to rise asian in the region and we've seen an increasing number of cases of dozens or hundreds of migrants packing themselves into trailers. in awful conditions had in themselves over to criminal networks and basically opting for the most dangerous and life threatening that it possible so these new routes. popping up and then. not coming up on the radars all official numbers all migration of refugees which is why the governments of the region will say they are having a victory on migration control in the end what we will see is that people still have to make life and death decisions they will still leave their homes and they will only be more at risk of death because of these choices of governments that

could have taken that had the option to take humane decisions that were sensible under international law madeline penman from amnesty international great to speak to thank you. thank you very much the via. the u.s. president has come under fire for twitter attack on a democratic congressman representative elijah cummings has criticized mexican border policies in response trump called him a brutal bully saying his baltimore district was far worse and more dangerous than the border he also called cummings district a disgusting rat and rodent infested mess the congressman responded saying mr president i go home to my district daily each morning i wake up and i go and fight for my neighbors practical hand has more in this from washington d.c. . another norm broken this is a us president denigrating a major american city that has happens to be mostly african-american and it's african-american congressman but the larger cummings is not an ordinary congressman

he is an icon of the civil rights movement he has huge respect not only in his district but in the halls of congress the president has made it clear this is his strategy to get reelected he believes if you fires up his base core supporters of white supporters that they will come out in droves and they will get him another term there are a lot of analysts who are sending a warning message though about that strategy they look back to 216 and one of the reasons that trump won in this incredibly close election was because the vote was down in african-american communities and hispanic communities polls show that his racist tweets and comments are hurting his support among african-americans and hispanics so what some analysts are warning while the president is firing up his own base is core support has it moved he's also fired up the base on the other side so francaise it is proceeding with plans to tax revenues a big technology firms despite the u.s. president threatening to impose levies on french wine finance minister bruno
