SAN JOSE (Reuters). During a U.S. Secretary for Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas’ visit to Costa Rica, Tuesday saw the announcement that Costa Rica and the United States have agreed to cooperate on improving immigration control in Central American countries.

Mayorkas was met by Carlos Alvarado of Costa Rica after Panama, Costa Rica, and Mexico imposed visa requirements making it difficult for Venezuelans as well as Cubans in their country to cross into the United States.

These new restrictions were made possible by Nicaragua’s November lifting of visa requirements for Cuban nationals.

Mayorkas and Costa Rican Ministry of Security Michael Soto have signed a letter of agreement, pledging to support migrants and refugees with police efforts. Soto stated in a video that these efforts include infrastructure, training and equipment.

According to the Costa Rican government, the statement stated: “The document seeks options to strengthen professional migration police and border police of Costa Rica (in all their capacities), strengthen the fight to the smuggling and human trafficking.”

Mayorkas was in Costa Rica the day following his Mexico trip, when he met with Mexican officials to discuss regional migration policies and labor laws.
