OK, so now, President Biden made a border stop in El Paso on his way to Mexico yesterday.

So is that foreshadowing? Will migration be the issue that's going to dominate these talks?

Some officials here in Mexico have expressed reservations about some American policies, but by and large, the U.S. and Mexico are aligned on immigration.
墨西哥的一些官员对美国的一些政策持保留意见，但大体上，美国和墨西哥在移民问题上立场一致。

例如，美国刚刚宣布，如果古巴人、尼加拉瓜人、委内瑞拉人和海地人越过美墨边境寻求庇护，他们将会被遣返回墨西哥，如果墨西哥不同意接收他们，这项政策就不可能实施。

很多关注。美国希望墨西哥能更有效地打击毒品战争。
Essentially, most of the fentanyl that ends up in the U.S. comes through the southern border.

And as you mentioned, last week, Mexico arrested the son of notorious drug lord El Chapo Guzman, who is thought to be a huge fentanyl dealer.
正如你提到的，上周，墨西哥逮捕了臭名昭著的毒枭古兹曼的儿子，他被认为是贩卖芬太尼的大毒枭。

On this side of the border, Mexico is complaining about the number of guns that keep flowing from the U.S. to here.
在边境的这一边，墨西哥抱怨从美国流入该国的枪支数量过多。
The Mexican government blames the U.S. for the violence here, and they have expressed frustration that the American government is not doing enough to stem the flow of weapons.
