Trump cites Obama's comments in 2005 to support immigration policy
President Trump turned to an unlikely source Tuesday night to find support for his hard-line immigration policies: his predecessor, Barack Obama.
Trump tweeted a 2005 video in which Obama, then a senator, made a statement against illegal immigration, accompanied by the comment "I agree with President Obama 100%."
"We are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States," Obama says in the 31-second video. "But those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them do not respect the rule of law and are despising those who follow the law, we simply can not allow people to enter the United States undetected, undocumented, unverified and evading the line of people waiting patiently, diligently and legally to become immigrants in this country. "
Obama is not the only Democrat cited by Trump and his supporters to justify the repression of illegal immigration. Another is former President Bill Clinton, whose speech on the State of the Union in 1995 presented the following:
"All Americans ... are disturbed by the large number of illegal aliens entering our country," Clinton said that night. "The jobs they occupy could be occupied by citizens or legal immigrants.The public service they use imposes burdens on our taxpayers, which is why our administration has aggressively moved to secure our borders more by contracting a record number of new guards. of borders, by deportation of "Twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by ending illegal hiring, by prohibiting the benefits of social assistance to illegal aliens."
"We are a nation of immigrants," Clinton added. "But we are also a nation of laws, it is wrong and, ultimately, counterproductive for a nation of immigrants to allow the kind of abuse of our immigration laws that we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it."
Tuesday's tweet came when the Trump government struggles with what to do if a caravan of some 7,000 people that originated in Central America arrives at the US border. UU And Mexico. The march seemed to start as a group of about 160 who decided to join in Honduras to protect themselves from the gangs that take advantage of migrants traveling alone; the snowball when the group moved north. Now it has thousands of people and faces more than 1,000 miles, probably farther, until the end of the trip.
The caravan comes shortly after an increase in the arrests of families on the southern border, which has given Trump a new point of conversation to gather his base before the elections midway through next month. Nearly a third of all people detained on the US border. UU And Mexico during the budget year 2018 were families and children, approximately 157,248 out of a total of 395,579 arrests.
On Tuesday, in a letter to the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department, the president of the Senate Judiciary, Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, and Senator Mike Lee, Republican of Utah, suggested that the administration make an agreement of "third party" with Mexico that would force any member of the caravan to seek asylum to do so in their country of arrival: Mexico. The legislators said that the process already works that way in Europe.
