Mexico City, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Thursday strongly opposed the continued "criminalization" of illegal immigrants in the United States.
"Criminalizing migrants is not only inhumane, it's also problematic," said K. Sheinbaum, responding to US President Donald Trump's harsh comments about migrants in his prime-time address to the nation on Wednesday evening.
“We have always believed that the best way to reduce migration is to invest in countries, help and protect people, and prevent poverty and inequality, because people do not migrate of their own free will,” the Mexican president said at a press conference.
With Thursday being International Migrants Day, K. Sheinbaum reiterated that her government will never “accept actions that criminalize migrants.”
The Mexican leader also dismissed the notion that the US-Mexico border is one of the most dangerous in the world, saying it is undoubtedly one of the busiest, with millions of people crossing it for work, education and health care.
