Washington, July 4. - "Many of these illegal aliens are living much better now than where they come from and in safer conditions," US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday.
In a series of controversial tweets, Trump again defended his immigration policy against the wave of criticism from different US politicians and activists, as well as several human rights organizations, condemning the precarious situation of undocumented people in custody in detention centers located on the southern border of the United States.
"If the illegal migrants are not satisfied with the conditions in the detention centers that have been built quickly. Tell them not to come. All the problems solved! ", The republican tycoon said in another message.
The handling of the issue of migrants who enter the United States illegally by the Trump Administration has provoked a huge repudiation inside and outside the US. and it has gained strength after several Democratic lawmakers and activists, who visited the detention centers, described the conditions of these compounds as "a nightmare", characterized by overcrowding and insufficient access to food, water and products to satisfy other conditions. basic needs.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who on Monday along with other Democratic colleagues visited the detention centers of the Office of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the southern part of the southern state of Texas, denounced the precarious condition of detained migrants, especially women.
"The agents keep women in cells without water and they tell them to take water from the toilet," condemned the congresswoman for New York, while calling the situation "systemic cruelty with a dehumanizing culture."
The refusal of the USA to receive migrants has been growing since the election campaign of the current president of the North American country, in 2015, when in one of his meetings Trump promised to build "a wall" on the border with Mexico of about 3200 kilometers to avoid the entry of people without papers in order.
Since then, the tenant of the White House has arranged various anti-immigrant measures. Among them, he militarized the border with Mexico and arrested thousands of undocumented immigrants and separated parents of children who had managed to enter US soil. (RHC)
