US President, Donald Trump wants to around 20 billion euros, to build the wall on the Mexican border. He might deny the Democrats now in the house of representatives.
The immigration policy of U.S. President Donald Trump was one of the most contentious election issues in the run-up to the midterm elections on may 6. November. After the loss of the house of representatives to the Democrats, the question is, what impact will this have on the U.S. immigration policy. Trumps favorite project, the construction of a wall on the border to Mexico, could face a From. Because The US government can only bring about legislation by the Congress consisting of the house of representatives and Senate when both chambers agree to the same wording. On the other hand, the current Republican majority could now give a quick green light, since the house of representatives constituted only from January 2019.
The wall should fail-project of Donald Trump, some observers assumed that parts of the Central American population would be considered as an invitation to the USA to emigrate. Others, such as historian Christoph Rass, are convinced of the opposite: in His view, more often would, as now, large groups of Central American migrants together, should give the US the green light for the construction of a border wall. “It is but logical that those who undergo a Migration in the United States, will feel under pressure to pack their bags as soon as possible, if you know of a way to close threatens,” says Christoph Rass from the Institute for migration research and intercultural studies (IMS) at the University of Osnabrück.
Many Central American migrants, asylum in Mexico apply now
Refuge in Mexico
Any decision of the US government also has a direct impact on Mexico, which has become a transit country for Central American migrants to a destination country. Even without the Trump-wall, thousands of people are Grande South of the Rio.”The migrants approach the American border checks and apply for asylum. The United States is obliged by international law to process asylum requests,” says the political scientist Ana Isabel López, from the GIGA Institute of global and area studies in Hamburg. But only three percent of the applications were approved. “All others, choose the way of the illegal entry of, or settle in Mexico. In fact, many Hondurans, Salvadorans and Guatemalans asylum in Mexico apply now.”
According to the Mexican government would have applied in the state of Chiapas 3.230 Central American migrants, asylum. As at 19.October reached the first migrants to Mexico, assured Mark Manly, a local representative in Mexico of the United Nations high Commission for refugees (UNHCR), the Mexican state was able to guarantee the applicants of protection. Ana Isabel López doubted this: “We speak of people who have left their homeland and the violence to flee. But also in Mexico, the security situation because of organized crime and internal displacement is a serious Problem.” There were Mexicans who had to leave their home in the state of Michoacán, and now in Hostels in Tijuana lived. “Outlook not so good for middle Americans,” complained the GIGA expert.

The causes of the Exodus
López and Rass are unanimous: The Trump-wall, good-for-not as a response to the challenge of Migration. The root causes of Migration are neglected. “The United States Fund for several years, the utility of the “Alliance for prosperity”, and the designated President of Mexico, Andrés López Obrador announced that he wanted to grant the Central American countries, economic assistance, because the development of one of the causes for the current crisis, explains López. At some point, the United States and Mexico would have to deal with it more attention that the Central American countries, there is a connection between the corruption and violence of organised crime on the one hand, and the very high Migration on the other.
Christoph Rass from the IMIS has no High expectations of the government of the new Mexican President, Lopez Obrador: “With a view to the United States of Mexico will pursue its own interests, and not those of the Central Americans. The money transfers of Mexicans from the USA are a much more important economic factor for the company’s own funds. To the South of Mexico, says Rass, there is, unfortunately, only losers.
