Trump announces tougher asylum law

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has announced a hard line against migrants entering the United States illegally. Trump said that migrants seeking asylum would be obliged to do so at one of the border posts. Migrants who "enter illegally will no longer be able to automatically access our land with unfounded claims," ​​he said yesterday.

Trump announced in his speech at the White House in Washington the release of a presidential decree next week. When asked what it would imply, the Republican remained vague. The compatibility of its projects with the applicable law was unclear at the outset.

At present, thousands of people from Central America belong to several groups and head for Mexico to the US border. However, they were still about 1,300 kilometers from the United States flying a bird. Trump said that these people are obviously not "legitimate asylum seekers" for refusing to seek asylum from the Mexican government. Trump again stated that he would prevent people from entering the country. He reiterated that they should be detained in tented cities and announced that parents and children should stay together. Under the current law, children must not be detained for more than 20 days.
