Crossing Borders

The Honduran left's electoral strategy will create greater conflict over immigration between Mexico and the United States.

The White House has retained its option to impose economic penalties if it decides Mexico City's efforts to stem migrant flows aren't sufficient. That threat alone will create problems for AMLO's government.

Should the current wave of protests in the Central American country drag on, more Honduran migrants might head to the United States, with implications for that country and its southern neighbor, Mexico.

Russia's demographic downturn is a surprise to no one -- although the sheer extent of the problem might be.

Despite the outsized attention the caravans have drawn, they are just one of many factors that have contributed to the crisis unfolding along the border with Mexico.

In its attempt to stem the influx of Central American migrants ahead of the 2020 election, the Trump administration could end up driving even more migrants to the country's doorstep.

To attract more foreign workers into its waning labor market, Emirati leaders have introduced reforms that risk alienating -- and angering -- their native citizens.

International and domestic factors will push new Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to leave his predecessor's immigration policy largely intact.

The White House's trade tactics likely will not face a congressional challenge, although new House leadership may force the Trump administration to change its approaches to Saudi Arabia and immigration.
