Mexican-Canadians say the issue goes beyond a wall
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Last week President Donald Trump followed up his controversial campaign promise to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it by signing an executive order. The wall has been surrounded by a lot of debate but local Mexican-Canadians have said the real issue is bigger than just a wall.
“For me, I think it is a direct attack into what is the sovereignty of Mexico,” said Miguel Aguirre, a local Mexican-Canadian.
Tania Fieldberg also comes from Mexico and said she understands that Trump wants to keep illegal immigrants out of his country but adds that the issue is more complicated than just a wall.
