Why doesn't Mexico come in for harsher criticism?

What % of these "asylum seekers" at the US border are coming from south of Mexico? I thought it was a lot of them. If so, why aren't they applying for asylum in Mexico? Why isn't the world demanding that Mexico provide asylum for them? etc. etc.

How shitty is your country that you risk being separated from your kids to get out?

First, because they’re not Trump.
Second, because their Mexicans.

Because Mexico will promptly tell them to GTFO

Can I get a real answer? It seems like it would provide an immediate answer to the actual question here: what % of these migrants are for-real asylum-seekers and which just want a better economic deal. I still have sympathy for the latter who want to make a go of it in the US, but I also want them to go through a proper channel - not rely on some Obama "policy" of just de facto letting them in.
The evidence strongly suggests that the majority are merely economic actors posing as asylum-seekers.

One of the guys on here (forgot who) made a great point.
First country/point of entry for people outside of Mexico trying to come into the US designates them as refugees. If they continue north to the US, their status changed and they become immigrants.
[Trying to find out who said that, but it was solid gold and very well expressed]

I don’t know how to sugar coat this so I’ll just say it:
They are brown.
The regressive see all brown skinned people as allies (potential voters) and they get a pass.

You could be right. I was hoping the answer is just that we have a much higher bar of expectation out of the US than Mexico, but we're not willing to just say this out loud.

mexico is just as dangerous as honduras, guatemala, el salvador. The migrants don't want to stay in danger. plus economic opportunity for them in mexico is low. Mexicans hate central americans.
who are your rooting for in the world cup?

Technically, none of these people from Central America would qualify based on the official definition. I don't think "my country is a shithole" qualifies.
Maybe the violence would impact the ruling, but the violence is not from the government, it is from private parties.

Mexico is around 50 percent caucasian by some estimates, and certainly ruled by majority whites.
They should not be immune to criticism.
