Mexicans living in Mexico gave practical advice to the American leader. According to them, if he wanted to stop the flow of irregular migration from Latin America, then he should have built a protective wall not on the southern border of the United States, but in a completely different place.. A column of immigrants from Guatemala moves to the United States through the Mexican city of Tapachula. Russian woman Irina Abumova, who lives there, said that local people do not have negative feelings towards refugees. "Sigh and close the locks carefully at night - that's all the changes. I did not see a frank negative and did not hear from the residents of the city. Rather, they all pity, carry help, and sadly joke that if Trump really didn’t want migrants from all over Central America, he would have built a wall on the border between Mexico and Guatemala, "RIA Novosti quotes Abumova. The Russian woman explains the calm attitude of the Tapachulians to migrants from Guatemala by the fact that the latter do not consider the city as a place of permanent residence.. Everyone aspires in the USA, dreaming of a paradise life. “This is not an American (Tapachula) dream at all, so we were saved,” the former Russian woman said.. Meanwhile, the US president is very determined. On the eve, he announced that he would send at least 5.2 thousand. soldiers on the border with Mexico to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the country. The operation was named "Military Patriot". According to CBS News, the number of soldiers called to save the country from refugees is comparable to the US military contingent in Iraq and more than the number of US military fighting the banned "Islamic State" in Russia. The protective measure is designed to stop two large caravans of migrants heading to the United States through the territory of Mexico.. The total number of refugees reaches 6.5 thousand. person. As Donald Trump wrote on Twitter, "a lot of gang members and other very bad people mingled with the caravan". "Please come back, you will not be allowed into the United States without legal procedures. This is an invasion of our country, and you will have to face our army! "- he threatened. In addition, the head of state made a proposal to repeal the law, which automatically provides illegal immigrants to children born in the United States.. The initiative has already been supported by Republican senators. However, lawyer Arkady Bukh warned that it would be difficult for Trump to change the law..
The fact is that citizenship by birth is enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution.. "Changing the constitution is a very complicated thing. If we are talking about the abolition of the 14th amendment, then, as they say, good luck to them.
For this it is necessary to achieve the consent of both chambers (2/3 of the legislators) ", quotes the expert RIA" Novosti ". At the same time, Buch stressed that Trump’s proposal was not directed against Russians who legally come to the States to have a child in an American clinic..
