White House official says Mexico on verge of collapse

NEW YORK: White House Chief of Staff John Kelly is extremely pessimistic about the situation in Mexico, describing it as on the verge of collapse amid a crisis as desperate as the one in Venezuela, media reports said. The New York Times said on Friday that those comments were made at a working dinner at the White House last Wednesday at which US President Donald Trump, members of his Cabinet and Democratic members of Congress were present, Efe news reported. Analyszed at that meeting were proposals to define legislative guidelines on immigration matters, particularly regarding the hundreds of thousands of "Dreamers", young people who came to the US as children with their undocumented parents.
