into doing something that neither of you want to see happen. >> mexico has a very similar problem, overwhelmed with people who are applying for asylum. police forces are overwhelmed. the shelters are totally overwhelmed and as mexico's government's struggles to keep up, the journey has become even more perilous for the migrants will makes it so dangerous is the fact that there are threats really on all sides on the one side violent drug cartels who have found a cruel new way to make money. >> you will see organized crime moving increasingly into the trafficking of migrants the smuggling business has become even more lucrative than dealing fentanyl for migrants. it can be just as deadly when cartels can't extort migrants for monday they often just kill the people if kidnapped another danger often mexican authorities sometimes corrupt sometimes inept sometimes lethal in march 2023, a fire broke out at a migrant detention center migrants were left blocked in the cells killing dozens looming over all of this mess is the united states. there's no question that the us is certainly complicit in some of the things that are happening in mexico. if not outright responsible the fact is america has relied on mexico to do its dirty work for years deterring detaining, and deporting migrants before they get to america's southern border. >> and it's a strategy that's been relied upon by both republicans and democrats july 2014, america was witnessing an unprecedented crime isis they came without their parents. a wave of migrant children coming from central america, seemingly overnight tens of thousands of children and families showed up at the southern border the us government was caught completely flat foot president obama, bush, mexico to focus because on the southern border mexico's southern border 1,000 miles away us dollar helped transform mexico's border with guatemala a network of military bases observation towers, canine teams, and mobile checkpoints sprung up on the hunt for migrants hard because of strong efforts by mexico we've seen those numbers reduced back to much more manageable the levels the next year, mexico deported more central americans than the united states. for the first time in history. >> and so by the end of the obama administration you weren't seeing the same kind of drama at the southern border that you saw in 2014, people wrote it off as problem-solve but obama strategy didn't work for long president trump arrived with bold rhetoric when not letting these people invade our country but when his draconian policies failed, a growing outrage over families being separated at the border and the construction of his border wall dragged trump focused on turning mexico into his walk many believed that would be a challenge mexico's new leader andres manuel lopez obrador had campaigned on ending his country's migrant crackdown. this idea that we're not going to do america's dirty work what is a fresh wave of migrants headed for the us? >> we won all stop, we want mexico just stop. >> trump threatened to bury mexico's economy under an avalanche of tariffs. i'm low, changed his june on migration once he came into office, he he doubled down and mood you in further than the previous government he expanded trump's remain in mexico policy, forced to wait in some of the most dangerous cities on earth, trapping more migrants in mexico and he turned his newly formed national guard meant for taking on drug violence into a border patrol thousands of troops fanned out across mexico, and there were scenes really grizzly scene all through mexico of these national guardsman really cracking down and responding with force migrants would tear gas and thrown into prison like detention centers some was shot and killed the mexican government has defended the national guard saying good respects human rights. >> mexico is doing more for the united states as of now. then congress president biden took office, promising to dramatically change the nation's approach to migration for our better angels to prevail but the us continued to rely on mexico to do its dirty work cooperation so migration continued and even expanded with the biden administration the results under biden, more of the same. >> let's get real in the same way that water runs downhill, human beings go where there's a better deal. >> and that better deal, more economic opportunity and a better life continues to be found in the united states. >> the truth is mexico can't solve america's border crisis it's really up to america all of the obvious solutions to reduce pressure at the southern border run through congress. >> and congress is a kind of deadzone on this issue. >> lawmakers blocking border deal we run right into a wall

live on cnn and streaming on max now for some closing thoughts on this crucial relationship one of mexico's longest serving precedence during the 19th century is said to have remarked about his country's fate for mexico so far from god and so close to the united states in fact, for much of its modern history, mexico almost defined itself in opposition to the us as i've written before, people don't realize how far the relationship has come. >> mexico's saw itself as part of what was then called the third world. resentful of its neocolonial treatment at the hands of its arrogant neighbor to the north. from the mexican perspective, the united states is relationship with it was characterized by exploitation and annexation after a failed attempt to purchase what is now california, arizona, new mexico and other western states. president james polk invaded mexico and essentially sees this territory in 18, 53, the united states acquired even war mexican land in the gadsden purchase in total, the u.s. god, roughly half of mexico's land after that and well into the 20 century, washington's approach toward mexico was usually aimed at protecting the interests of large american corporations, especially its oil companies that had tried to operate in mexico with minimal interference from local authorities all this bread, a political climate of defiance and resistance towards washington that made cross-border cooperation difficult on almost any issue. mexico was one of the few countries that rejected us assistance through john f. kennedy's alliance for progress program things turned in the 1990s, the cold war ended, and the idea of a socialist country became less threatening to the united states mexico went through a series of economic crises and the 80s and 90s and desperately needed help it began opening up up its economy and its political system. us firms were doing more business and mexico and wanted a stable trading partner. washington began to realize that the best solution to all the problems across the border, immigration, drugs violence was a prosperous democratic mexico relations between mexico and the us soon transformed. the old anti-americanism faded into oblivion. the two countries stepped up cooperation on almost all relevant issues signing the north american free trade agreement. and working together on everything from water management to immigration, two drugs, the u.s. used to be inundated with mexico chickens coming illegally into the country over the past decade and a half more mexicans have actually gone back home that have arrived but with the rise of amylose party, now deeply entrenched with a mere super majority under its new leader, claudia sheinbaum. the reformers are in retreat don't expect to see much pressure coming from the north under trump and biden washington has had a transactional relationship with mexico help us with drugs and immigration and mostly with immigration and we will not press you on the backsliding of democracy and the rule of law and mexico the result has been that mexico is transforming into an illiberal democracy with a new one-party state that is turning its back on many of the reforms holmes that have modernized its economy and society over the last four decades this is tragic. mexico is the united states top trading partner, even outranking china and canada but this understates the interdependence between the two economies one study estimated that 30% of finished goods, the united states imports from mexico is u.s. made content higher than any other country? a staggering number of people go back and forth across the border every day just to work shop or see a doctor by one estimate over one 140 million times a year. the two peoples are now deeply intertwined economically, politically, and culturally the late george shows ronald reagan's luck, rib, republican secretary of state it used to tell me that he taught the greatest opportunity facing the united states was to take its relations with canada and mexico and transform them turning the region into a north american powerhouse. it would become, he believed the greatest economic engine in the world and create a zone of peace prosperity, and cool cooperation, and even more powerful model than the european union today we see on both sides of the border narrow self-interest and short-term policy protects. but scholz's long-term vision should be the strategic goal for both nations thank you for watching the special our on mexico and fareed zakaria
