The president of the United States, Donald Trump, asked the legislative federal funds to complete “the largest deportation operation in the history of the United States,” in line with his electoral promises, he said in his first speech before the joint session of the Congress of his second term, on Tuesday night.
“I have sent a detailed financing application to Congress that explains exactly how we will eliminate these threats, protect our homeland and complete the greatest deportation operation in the history of the United States, even bigger than that of the current record holder, Dwight D. Eisenhower (president from 1953 to 1961),” Trump said.
Trump defined Eisenhower as “a moderate man, but someone who firmly believed at borders,” and said Americans expect Congress to authorize the funds “without delay” so that he can promulgate a law in this regard.
He denounced, “the media” and “the Democratic Party” continue to say that a new legislation was needed to ensure the border, but said: “The only thing we really needed was a new president.”
In his first month back to the White House, Trump has approved deportation of about 37,660 irregular immigrants, less than the monthly average of returns under the executive of his predecessor, Joe Biden, although the volume of these operations is expected to grow in the next in line with his promise to reinforce border security.
In turn, already waiting for official figures from the Department of National Security, the deployment of US military on the border with Mexico seems to have significantly reduced the number of arrests of individuals in illegal situation.
He also brought breast out of his decision to declare the national emergency on the southern border, as well as the army, “a few hours after swearing the position.”
“As a result, the illegal crosses of the border last month were, with much difference, the lowest ever registered,” he said.
In the presidential box, where the first lady, Melania Trump was, was her ‘Tsar of the border’, Tom Homan, who thanked her work these weeks. “We are achieving the great liberation of America,” he concluded.
Aggressive tariffs
On the other hand, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, took a breast of his first weeks of mandate, claimed the cuts in federal spending and his aggressive tariff policy, in a anger session in Congress, with constant interruptions and boos of the Democratic bench.
Six weeks after returning to the White House, the Republican leader gave the first speech of his second term against the two Congress cameras, which broke a historical record of 1:42 hours.
“The United States has returned,” a triumphal Trump started, unleashing the first of the many support of the Republicans, who hold the majority in Congress, they dedicated them throughout the night.
“We have achieved more in 43 days than most administrations achieve in 4 or 8 years, and we are barely beginning,” he claimed the Republican, who after his return to power has signed an unpublished number of executive orders and has been accused by the opposition of skipping with it the power of the congress.
The president presumed the order that renames the Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America and which declares English as the official language of the United States.
But above all, he dedicated a good part of his list of achievements to the conservative cultural war, as he highlighted the end of inclusion and diversity policies in the government and veto of trans women in women’s sports competitions.
In the Palco of Honor, in addition to the First Lady, Melania Trump, and other guests, highlighted the presence of Magnate Elon Musk, who has demonstrated an enormous influence on Trump’s administration as in charge of carrying out an unprecedented cut of public spending.
The president told the richest man in the world that he is “doing very well” at the head of the government efficiency department, which closed the historic Usaid Cooperation Agency and Capitanea a massive dismissal of federal employees.
“The Americans have given us a mandate to make a bold and deep change that covers almost 100 years,” said the president.
The Republican also gave signs of not wanting to reverse in his commercial war, the same day that he approved the imposition of 25 % tariffs against Mexico, Canada and 20 % to China, its main commercial partners.
“Other countries have used tariffs against us for decades and is now our turn to start using them against other countries,” said Trump, who recalled that on April 2 they will be launched “reciprocal tariffs” against sectors and countries that take American products.
