Latin American leaders make appeal to US on migration at summit in Mexico

On Sunday, Latin American leaders holding a summit called on the United States to change the way it deals with the illegal migration heading to its border.

The presidents of Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela and other leaders of the region called on destination countries to end "inconsistent and selective policies" such as granting entry to certain nationalities but not others.The International Organization for Migration has said the US-Mexico border lies on one of the most dangerous migratory treks anywhere in the world. 

This year alone, 1.7 million migrants arrived at the Mexican-US border.Some 130 Venezuelan migrants arrived back home on Wednesday on a chartered plane from the United States on the first such deportation flight following an agreement between the two countries.
