Costa Rica is analyzing a possible agreement with the United States to transport migrants from the Central American country to their places of origin, the Costa Rican Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thursday. The Ministry’s Minister, Arnoldo André Tinoco, announced the news during a trip to the United States, the ministry said, adding that the agreement would be “similar to the one Panama recently signed with the US executive.” The ministry also said the country is awaiting a conceptual note from the US government. Panama’s new president took office last month promising to crack down on immigration and announced an agreement with the United States under which the Americans will cover the costs of deporting migrants from the country. The treacherous Darién region, a forest that connects Central America to the South American continent, has been used last year by more than half a million migrants. These are people seeking better security and economic opportunities abroad. In the United States, the main destination for many immigrants, the issue of immigration has gained prominence in the run-up to the presidential election, with Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump promising tougher borders and mass deportations.
