The US president said Monday that Mexico has been unable to stop the caravan of migrants moving towards the US border, so the situation is already a national emergency. He said he put the border patrols and the military on alert.
"Unfortunately, it seems that Mexico's police and military are unable to stop the caravan that heads to the southern border of the United States. Criminals and unidentified Middle Eastern people are mixed, "Trump said on Twitter. "I alerted the border patrol and the military that this constitutes a national emergency," he added.
The US president said he will begin to "cut or substantially reduce" the aid to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador since they could not stop the advance of the migrant caravan.
President Donald Trump warned on Sunday he will do everything to "stop the onslaught of illegal migrants" to his southern border. "Those people must first seek asylum in Mexico, and if they do not, the United States will reject them," he wrote on Twitter.
But a second caravan of more than two thousand migrants began their journey on foot from Guatemala on Sunday to reach the border with Mexico, en route to the United States.
The journey through Mexico can take a month, according to Rodrigo Abeja, an activist from the Peoples Without Borders organization who has accompanied several caravans.
