Mass deportation

Trump has been deporting mass immigrants. The Republican decreed the deportation of all immigrants without document. In the first 200 days in office, the US would have deported 1.6 million immigrants, according to the Department of Internal Security. Part of these deportations were voluntary due to the pressures. Expelled, there were 350 thousand in the first seven months of the year.

The US also closed borders. The southern border with Mexico was closed to those who asked asylum. For this, Trump declared in January, national emergency at the border when he promised to send troops to the region.
