U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Mexico in a series of tweets of “very little” against migration movement across U.S. border. At same time, he threatened to end North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA. The Mexican government must stop “great flow of drugs and people”, orwise it will stop “ir cash cow” NAFTA.

Mexico is doing very little, if not nothing, at stopping people from flowing into Mexico through ir sourn border, and n into U.S. y laugh at our dumb immigration laws. They must stop big drug and people flows, or I will stop ir cash cow, NAFTA. Need wall!

The agreement is currently being renegotiated under pressure from US president. So far, however, Trump has not linked subject to boundary wall that he also called for.
Trump wrote on Twitter: “Mexico is doing very little, if not nothing, to prevent people from reaching ir sourn borders, and n to come to US. They laugh at our stupid immigration laws. ” Mexico basically doesn’t do anything to stop people from emigrating from south to Mexico and n to US, Trump wrote: “Need wall!”

Trump’s Twitterbotschaften were apparently a response to a march in Mexico, with which a large group of people from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala are currently heading towards U.S. border. The organization “Pueblos Sin Fronteras” (Citizens Without Borders) has organised action to help Central American migrants out of way of smugglers or official harassment.
About 1,500 people went on ir way on 25 March from Südmexikanischen state of Chiapas. A reporter of news site Buzzfeed news reports with texts and pictures of march. Trump’s favorite TV channel, Fox News, also reported on “Caravan” on Sunday morning, potentially triggering president’s angry tweets about Mexico.

Trump also stated that he would no longer make a deal for DACA programme, which gives 1.8 million young migrants temporary protection against deportation. The “great streams of people” coming across Mexican border to US tried to exploit program. There will be no agreement to dreamers, Trump prophesied. Officials at border with Mexico could not do ir job properly because of laws that went back to Democrats. The Republicans would refore have to go radical way – “nuclear option” in Trump’s words – and enforce stricter laws.
Trump had finished Daca last September and gave Congress six months to complete a reregulation. Several attempts to do so failed. However, programme is still ongoing because of legal disputes. So far, President had stated that he wanted to find a solution for Daca.
