For years now, immigration into the United States from Mexico has been a huge issue in American politics. But Mexico is facing similar problems on its southern border, as Central Americans in search of higher-paying work pour into that country from countries like Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of Central Americans cross illegally into Mexico—400,235, to cite one oddly precise estimate from the Mexican National Institute of Migration—along the country’s southern border, which angles over 750 miles of river and volcanic slope and jungle at the top of Central America. Nobody knows exactly how many of those migrants are headed to the United States, but most put that figure at 150,000 or more a year, and the pace of illegal migration north has picked up dramatically over the past decade, propelled in part by the lingering aftermath of the 1970s and ’80s civil wars in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.

Very troubling..Should MX establish sanctuary cities/healthcare for illegal immigrants? What kind of changes could MX do that would set a good example for the US?

Well, they could stop beating, raping and robbing them for a start. Mexico's behavior towards illegal immigrants from C.A. is horrible and hypocritical. Truthfully, if they had any sense of the absurdity of it all they would STFU about how illegals are treated going into the US.
