On Thursday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly traveled to Mexico to meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. The visit comes on the heels of rising tensions between the two countries over a border wall that President Trump insists Mexico pay for, a renegotiation of NAFTA and most recently, a tightening of U.S. deportation rules.

Guests:

Alfredo Corchado, Mexico correspondent, The Dallas Morning News; author,

Duncan Wood, director, Mexico Institute at The Wilson Center

Nacha Cattan, Mexico correspondent, Bloomberg News
