Trump promised that Mexico would pay for the wall, Now Trump is paying Mexico to deport people

in #politics6 years ago

In a recent notice sent to Congress, the administration said it intended to take $20 million in foreign assistance funds and use it to help Mexico pay plane and bus fare to deport as many as 17,000 people who are in that country illegally.

My thoughts on this news

As usual Trump's promises during his campaign are turning into lies. In this case they are a little worse than lies because instead of getting money from Mexico as promised, Trump is actually paying Mexico to deport people. Mexico has an immigration problem of it's own, people who are escaping from Central American countries pass through Mexico to get to the USA. So since there is no way in hell Mexico will ever pay for a border wall Trump decided to give them money to deport people back to the Central American countries they came from. Unfortunately Trump does not want to help people who are running away from war torn countries, he only likes the immigrants he hires to work at his properties he gets via the H-2 Visa program.
