Mexico's Interior Secretary, Olga Sánchez Cordero, said that the country's 12 entry points and 379 known illegal crossings will be strengthened to stem the flow of migrants crossing into the country.

Migrants entering Mexico will need to provide personal information, biometric data, the reason for their entry and official identification, according to Sánchez Cordero. Anyone who fails to comply will be deported.

Meanwhile, Mexico's undersecretary for human rights, Alejandro Encinas Rodriguez said that migrants wishing to cross through Mexico to reach the United States will need a visa issued by the US or they will not be allowed in.
