Think other countries will do the same?
Mexico announced plans to open 25 migrant shelters for Mexican citizens only as President-elect Donald Trump threatens massive deportations, New York Post reports.
“These shelters that are being planned are for those being repatriated who are coming from north to south, but no foreigners, only Mexicans; this must be made clear — Mexicans will be welcomed back to their country, and their human rights will be respected,” the governor explained.
The buildings will be designated for either men, women, unaccompanied children, or families, and they will be permitted to stay just a few days before being shipped back to their original hometowns.
Trump and his border patrol team, including border czar Tom Homan and Homeland Security Secretary nominee, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, have been promising to “launch the largest mass deportation of illegal criminals in American history,” according to the Washington Times.
Newly appointed White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that her boss would “use the power of his pen to deliver on many of the promises he made to the American people on the campaign trail to secure our southern border,” potentially using methods like Title 42 – legislation signed during Trump’s first term, allowing officials to turn migrants away due to COVID-19.
En nuestra conversación con el presidente Trump, le expuse la estrategia integral que ha seguido México para atender el fenómeno migratorio, respetando los derechos humanos. Gracias a ello se atiende a las personas migrantes y a las caravanas previo a que lleguen a la frontera.…— Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo (@Claudiashein) November 28, 2024
“Thanks to this, migrants and caravans are assisted before crossing the border. We reiterate that Mexico’s position is not to close borders but to build bridges between governments and between peoples.”
