El Salvador's foreign minister told Reuters on Wednesday. Aside from Mexico, many Latin America migrants bound for the US hail from the poor nations of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. On Wednesday, the day after a regional meeting in Honduras, the three countries released a joint statement asking their respective foreign ministries to team up and formulate positions on jobs, investment and migration to deal with the new US administration together - though the statement did not refer to Mexico.
Trump, who takes office on January 20, said in an interview with the CBS program "60 Minutes" which aired on Sunday that his administration would focus on deporting immigrants with criminal records. The president-elect said during the campaign that he would deport na estimated 11 million immigrants who were in the US illegally.
