US President Donald Trump has threatened to fire on refugees if they throw stones at American soldiers at the border.

On the way to the United States, Central American refugees "threw stones at the Mexican police" maliciously and violently, Trump said Thursday at the White House in Washington.

"We will not accept that." "If they throw stones at our soldiers, our soldiers will fight back," Trump said.

He told the soldiers to look at the stones as "rifles".

Trump also announced for next week a presidential decree, by which he wants to strengthen the law on asylum. According to this principle, refugees should be allowed to apply for political asylum only when they have entered via an official border crossing. Those who are taken care of at the border should be housed in tent camps.

Such a procedure is "absolutely legal," Trump told the White House. "We stop people at the border, it's an invasion." Trump reinforced his rhetoric against immigrants before congressional elections and regularly warns of an alleged "invasion" by illegal immigrants.

Among other things, the US president announced a mbadive expansion of the military presence on the border with Mexico. Thousands of migrants, mainly from Honduras, are currently on their way to the United States.
