“The construction of this wall was something more than an election promise. It is a first step in a common sense to ensure the truth of the perforated our borders,” said late today the representative of the american presidency, Sean Spicer. “This will limit the flow of drugs, crime, and irregular migrants within the territory of the united states”, he noted.
As announced by the White House, the American president will sign a decree on the strengthening of mechanisms for the enforcement of the laws relating to immigration.
As pointed out by Spicer the money for the application of the decrees will be drawn from the federal funds that were used for the implementation of a legislation for the protection of migrants (the so-called cities-shelters [“sanctuary cities”]).
In cities such as San Francisco’s local officials, who often come from the Democratic party, refuse to cooperate with the federal authorities to take measures against irregular migrants.
As pointed out by Spicer the Trump will give a mandate to the federal government to seek ways for the discontinuation of specific funds to these cities that refuse to comply.
Also it will put an end to the policy of previous governments, in accordance with which persons who have been detained as irregular immigrants are released pending a hearing by a judge.
