President Donald Trump announced that the country will begin a mass deportation process next week against all illegal immigrants who have arrived in the country.
The President made the announcement on Twitter without specifying the kind of immigrants who will be deported from U.S. soil.
The message has left gaps that the administration is expected to clarify in the next hours, considering that there are millions of illegal immigrants and it is unknown how they will be located and the methods of evacuation used for that purpose.
Trump assured on Twitter that “Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States”.
Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they come in. Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people…….

In this announcement he expressed his satisfaction for the work being done by Mexico, a country that is “stopping people” before they reach the U.S. border, and stated that he will soon sign a “Safe-Third Agreement” with Guatemala.
Trump wrote that “Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people long before they get to our Southern Border.”
On the other hand, he assured that “Guatemala is getting ready to sign a Safe-Third Agreement”.
….long before they get to our Southern Border. Guatemala is getting ready to sign a Safe-Third Agreement. The only ones who won’t do anything are the Democrats in Congress. They must vote to get rid of the loopholes, and fix asylum! If so, Border Crisis will end quickly!

With this agreement, the United States could send asylum seekers from other countries to Guatemala, something that has also been discussed with Mexico and that to the present that country has denied.
The United States and Mexico agreed earlier this month that Washington may send to its southern neighbor all Central American asylum seekers who cross the border illegally.
However, the President showed his disagreement with the Democrats. “The only ones who won’t do anything are the Democrats in Congress. They must vote to get rid of the loopholes, and fix asylum! If so, Border Crisis will end quickly!”
