According to Castro, “migrants can be stopped not through walls, but through cooperation, understanding and peace.”

The President of the United States Donald trump ordered to develop a project to build a wall on the border with Mexico, which, according to him, to pay Mexico itself. The authorities of the Latin American countries categorically say they are not going to pay. Trump acknowledged that perhaps the original wall still have to pay American taxpayers.
