Donald Trump rehashes ‘rape’ claims about Mexicans and immigration
It is hard to say what triggered the Tweetstorm but some say that it was an inflammatory Fox new story warning of an impending “invasion” of Central American migrants headed to the US Border. Nobody knows where he derived this conclusion from but, apparently, it was an attempt to advocate strengthening USA immigration laws.
“These themes related to migration and border security that he’s advanced in the past-the caravan brings many of those together, but this time with a new, salient and highly visible angle”, Harold Trinkunas, a senior fellow in the Latin America Initiative at Brookings Institution, told Newsweek.
The country’s Senate passed a resolution Wednesday calling on Mexico’s government to suspend cooperation with the US on illegal immigration and drug trafficking in retaliation for Trump’s move.
Current reports about the caravan feature many marchers claiming that they intend to remain in Mexico. “And now they’re beating us economically, they are not our friend believe me”, he said at the time.
In our Friday Conversation, Corchado says the election should be on Texans’ radar because the outcome could affect U.S. -Mexico relations for years to come.
Even before Trump got involved, this had become the biggest caravan that this group of organizers had seen.
In a speech Thursday, Donald Trump mused about the threat of violence among immigrants and appeared to make reference to the migrants’ caravan.
Mexican immigration officials are working to issue transit visas to hundreds of marchers from the Central American illegal alien caravan to ease their travel through the country, confirming prior reporting from Townhall.
Doctors are treating a lot of migrants who injured themselves on the route from southern Mexico to Puebla, about two hours south of Mexico City, he said.
The Mexican Senate on Wednesday “categorically” rejected a U.S. initiative to militarize the U.S. -Mexico border to thwart undocumented migrants.
Mexico’s Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said he held talks with Kirstjen Nielsen, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, to clarify the aim of the operation, saying that Mexico will “act in a sovereign way in defense of the nation’s interest”. In order to be eligible for the programs a person has to have lived in the United States prior to June 15, 2007 and has to have been brought here as a child. “We thought it would be better to flee”.
“It is a far more prosperous, wealthy area than the rest of Mexico”, he said.
Aerial photos of the migrant “caravan” marching northward across Mexico looked frighteningly reminiscent of the long lines of tens of thousands of Muslim migrants from the Middle East, Africa, and Afghanistan that invaded Europe during the “refugee crisis” of 2015.
