Trump renews criticism of Mexico over immigration
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday Mexico was doing virtually nothing to stop illegal immigrants from coming to our southern border and that he would soon give a response.
Mexicos attitude is that people from other countries, including Mexico, should have the right to flow into the U.S. & that U.S. taxpayers should be responsible for the tremendous costs associated w/this illegal migration. Mexico is wrong and I will soon be giving a response! Trump said on Twitter.
Trump, who is pushing ahead with building a wall along parts of the U.S.-Mexico border after failing to make Mexico pay for a barrier as he had promised during his 2016 election campaign, did not elaborate on his planned response.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trumps tweet, and whether he was referring to a request from Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador for an agreement on development aid with the United States and other nations to address the flood of Central American migrants.
