During that broad discussion on the migrant crisis, the countries said they discussed the "benefits" of "regularizing" illegal immigrants who have been living in the United States for years, including those protected by the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) – an executive order signed by President Barack Obama, which shielded some illegal immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as minors.

"The delegations also discussed the benefits of regularizing the situation of Hispanic migrants who have been undocumented for several years and the DACA beneficiaries, who are a vital part of the US economy and society," the joint statement said, adding that the delegations will meet again in January.
