Mexico is taking some steps that could stem the flow of illegal aliens, such as speeding up trains to reduce the number who stowaway on the freight train known as “the Beast.” But as WND reported, Mexico and Guatemala have signed an agreement that “fast-tracks” the delivery of Central American illegal immigrants to the United States through the Mexican government’s issuance of a regional visitor card that will allow Central Americans to remain in Mexico for as long as it takes for them to travel to the U.S.
