SEATTLE - Ever since winning the U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump and his team have doubled-down on their anti-immigrant plans for when he takes office on January 20. Besides promising to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in the country's history, Trump has threatened key trade partners such as Mexico with tariffs if they fail to control the flow of undocumented immigrants trying to enter the U.S. through its Southern border.
Although the president-elect has not shown signs of budging his anti-immigrant stance nor dissipated the threat of imposing tariffs on Mexican goods, Mexico's new president suggests that the biggest negative impact of Trump's proposed mass deportations will not be felt in Mexico, but in the U.S. instead.
