According to the announcement, U.S. officials from the police and the customs authority should begin this week with the deportation of millions of illegal immigrants. But shortly before the scheduled start of Donald Trump blew on Saturday (22.06.) the action, and the Association of this with a praise of Mexico, the have done a good job against the influx of migrants.
At the same time, Trump continued to Tweet the Democrats under pressure. This should not cooperate in a Reform of the right to asylum, will start the removal action in two weeks.
In the Mexican city of Tijuana, which shares with the US San Ysidro, the largest border crossing in the Western hemisphere, is the uncertainty large. The deportation of millions of illegal immigrants would trigger a humanitarian emergency. Now Tijuana with thousands of Central Americans who are waiting for the release of their asylum applications is overwhelmed, completely.
Overcrowded Accommodation
“The Situation on the border is very confusing, not only because of trump’s threats, but also because of Mexican policy. We do not know what will be the strategy of the Mexican government, in order to face such a Situation,” says Valeria Griego of the immigrant hostel “Casa del Migrante” in Tijuana.
San Ysidro: the Largest border crossing in the Western hemisphere.
The “Casa del Migrante” is the oldest auxiliary institution for migrants in the city. For more than 30 years, of the congregation of the Scalabrini founded the establishment of the aid for the migrants is devoted to. Currently, she is crowded fully.
“We have space for 150 people,” says Valeria Griego. “Since a few weeks already, our capacities are exhausted, so we restrict ourselves to the inclusion of women and families, as well as men with small children on the road,” she adds. In the other migrant accommodation, about 20 in number, the Situation is similar.
Logistical Challenge
Abigail Andrews, sociologist at the University of California, San Diego, stresses the logistical impossibility, in the short term, millions of people to deport: “Even a single deportation means an immense effort: in search of The Person of the bureaucratic effort to arrest, and the legal decision before a court, followed by the actual deportation.” The US media had on Friday (21.06.) reported that Trump had ordered the Deportation of 2000 families during raids in ten US cities by officials of the police authority with ICE.
The policy of family separations had led 2018 in the United States to massive protests.

You don’t know, what scenes would play out, if they arrested the parents, while their children are in school or in the Kindergarten. Generally, it is frowned upon, social structures break up and to separate children from their parents, even more so, if you do not know that the officials of the ICE procedure squeamish,” says Maureen Mayer.
Re-election in view
The expert points out, that a mass deportation of this magnitude could be counterproductive for trump’s re-election in the year 2020: “There are several polls that show that the majority of US citizens to keep the country for asylum seekers open”.
Also Abigail Andrews emphasises the potential damage to the image of Donald Trump by unfavorable images in the course of such action. “About 45 percent of the deported men are fathers. 90 percent of these fathers have children who were born in the United States, so legal Status in the USA. Andrews fears heart-rending and dangerous scenes in the event of a threat of deportation: “Many of these fathers would put their life on the game, to stay with their children.”
