Trump also decided to send an additional 1,500 soldiers to the border with Mexico, according to the AFP news agency, a spokesman for the White House said.
“Today, President Trump signed an executive order suspending the physical entry of immigrants involved in the invasion of the United States across the southern border,” the White House said in a statement.
Some states, such as Texas, asked the federal government for “protection from invasion” already under the administration of the previous president Joe Biden, but did not defend against “millions of illegal immigrants who are coming to the United States, flooding their communities and burdening the state and local governments with costs of billion dollars”, reads the statement.
The White House added that Trump limited the possibility of illegal immigrants from the south to stay in the US, for example by granting asylum.
