The President of the United States, Donald Trump, visited the construction of the border wall in Texas for the last time in his mandate and thanked his Mexican counterpart, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, for his cooperation in migration.
The President highlighted the program of “Wait in Mexico” and the presence of the Mexican National Guard to avoid crossing into the United States.
“ I want to thank the great President of Mexico. He is a great gentleman, a friend of mine. President Obrador is a man who really knows what is going on. He loves his country and also the United States.
“ I want to thank you for your friendship and for our working relationship “, he stated.
The President also assured that the border wall has helped the United States to contain the coronavirus at the border.
“ The ‘invisible enemy’ has been very hard on Mexico and we have areas on the border that are very good here, because of that “, He said pointing to the wall.
” And we did not build the wall for the Covid, we did it for security and drugs, but in the middle of everything came this horrible plague. “
In his first speech after the siege of the Capitol, which left at least 5 dead, Trump said that the United States is a country of laws, but he feigned that his followers will “persecute” the Biden Administration.
“ Freedom of expression is under assault as never before a. The Amendment 25 is not a risk for me, but we will go back to haunt the Biden Administration.
“As the expression goes: be careful what you ask for. The farce of impeachment causes tremendous division and is very dangerous for the United States, “he added.
Hours earlier, the President refused to take responsibility for the acts of violence and said that his words in a rally before the siege of the Capitol, where he called to “fight like never before”, they had been “completely appropriate.”
The President assured that they had already been built 683 miles of border wall, however much of the structure was a replacement for previously existing fences.
“Unlike those who were before me, I kept my promise,” said the President.
Trump said he closed the legal “loopholes” that allowed the migration to the United States and highlighted the vote of the Hispanic community on the border as a sign that “they understand” that he had reinforced the border with the wall.
“We cannot let the next Administra tion remove it, “he said,” I do not think that will happen.
