El presidente Donald Trump dijo el lunes que Estados Unidos empezará a “interrumpir, o reducir sustancialmente”, la ayuda a tres países centroamericanos debido a la caravana de migrantes que se dirige a la frontera méxico-estadounidense.
Trump tuiteó que “Guatemala, Honduras y El Salvador no fueron capaces de impedir que la gente saliera de su país y viniera ilegalmente a Estados Unidos”.
Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.

Los tres países recibieron en total algo más de 500 millones de dólares de Estados Unidos en el año fiscal 2017.
Trump dijo que “he alertado a la Patrulla Fronteriza y el Ejército que esta es una Emergencia Nacional”.
Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the Midterms! So unfair to those who come in legally.

Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!
