Mexico halts deportations and migrant transfers citing lack of funds

This week sees even more chaos from Mexico's immigration agency, which has been forced to halt deportations and immigrant transfers designed to exhaust immigrants and encourage them to return home or not come in the first place. The reason this time is that the government claims it lacks money to fund the agency, a problem compounded by the lingering fallout from the fire at a migrant detention center in April that revealed a deeply broken and corrupt structure within the agency.

An option that doesn't seem to have been considered: providing any kind of pathway to citizenship, which would allow migrants to contribute to the Mexican economy.
