1
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:16.841
- Well, I'd like to say, first of all, thank you

2
00:00:16.841 --> 00:00:20.135
for being here today and making this annual,

3
00:00:20.135 --> 00:00:22.065
this conference on prosperity and security

4
00:00:22.065 --> 00:00:25.565
in central America a great, great success.

5
00:00:26.176 --> 00:00:30.009
(translator speaking Spanish)

6
00:00:35.166 --> 00:00:39.245
I want to thank Admiral Tidd and his entire South Com staff

7
00:00:39.245 --> 00:00:41.745
for the wonderful hospitality.

8
00:00:42.206 --> 00:00:46.039
(translator speaking Spanish)

9
00:00:52.394 --> 00:00:55.086
And I want to thank my great friends from Mexico,

10
00:00:55.086 --> 00:00:57.836
Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador.

11
00:00:58.629 --> 00:01:02.462
(translator speaking Spanish)

12
00:01:05.977 --> 00:01:10.100
We deeply appreciate your friendship and partnership.

13
00:01:10.100 --> 00:01:13.933
(translator speaking Spanish)

14
00:01:15.683 --> 00:01:17.574
I also wanted to thank all the other countries

15
00:01:17.574 --> 00:01:20.580
that were represented here in this conference.

16
00:01:20.580 --> 00:01:24.413
(translator speaking Spanish)

17
00:01:26.675 --> 00:01:30.190
The great countries of Canada, Spain, Costa Rica,

18
00:01:30.190 --> 00:01:31.607
Panama, Colombia.

19
00:01:34.094 --> 00:01:37.927
(translator speaking Spanish)

20
00:01:38.911 --> 00:01:40.474
The European Union.

21
00:01:40.474 --> 00:01:41.833
(translator speaking Spanish)

22
00:01:41.833 --> 00:01:42.750
And others.

23
00:01:42.987 --> 00:01:43.946
- [Translator] Sorry?

24
00:01:43.946 --> 00:01:44.779
- And others.

25
00:01:44.779 --> 00:01:46.900
(translator speaking Spanish)

26
00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:49.228
We've had some tremendously important discussions

27
00:01:49.228 --> 00:01:52.403
on prosperity and security these last two days.

28
00:01:52.403 --> 00:01:56.236
(translator speaking Spanish)

29
00:02:01.409 --> 00:02:04.326
We talked about a sustained effort,

30
00:02:05.076 --> 00:02:08.080
(translator speaking Spanish)

31
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.163
an effort against corruption, drug trafficking,

32
00:02:11.163 --> 00:02:12.496
human smuggling.

33
00:02:12.613 --> 00:02:16.446
(translator speaking Spanish)

34
00:02:19.063 --> 00:02:20.896
In gangs and violence.

35
00:02:21.535 --> 00:02:23.910
(translator speaking Spanish)

36
00:02:23.910 --> 00:02:28.077
Countries involved have made many commitments to partner.

37
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.272
(translator speaking Spanish)

38
00:02:37.722 --> 00:02:40.636
These agreements will go a long way towards

39
00:02:40.636 --> 00:02:44.019
improving conditions in our neighborhood.

40
00:02:44.019 --> 00:02:47.852
(translator speaking Spanish)

41
00:02:53.317 --> 00:02:55.287
But this is just the beginning, I hope,

42
00:02:55.287 --> 00:02:58.370
of a series of partnering conferences

43
00:03:00.474 --> 00:03:03.819
to continue to get at the problems that we face.

44
00:03:03.819 --> 00:03:07.652
(translator speaking Spanish)

45
00:03:19.196 --> 00:03:22.566
Now I would like to introduce my counterpart.

46
00:03:22.566 --> 00:03:24.941
(translator speaking Spanish)

47
00:03:24.941 --> 00:03:25.774
My friend.

48
00:03:27.775 --> 00:03:29.621
(translator speaking Spanish)

49
00:03:29.621 --> 00:03:32.538
Secretary Osorio Chong from Mexico.

50
00:03:33.231 --> 00:03:37.064
(translator speaking Spanish)

51
00:03:39.602 --> 00:03:42.519
(speaking Spanish)

52
00:06:24.009 --> 00:06:25.115
- In the last few days,

53
00:06:25.115 --> 00:06:28.705
representatives of the five nations of are Central America

54
00:06:28.705 --> 00:06:31.949
and North America we have met in a space to think

55
00:06:31.949 --> 00:06:34.465
about the challenges and opportunities

56
00:06:34.465 --> 00:06:36.715
and the issues of relevance

57
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:41.566
and the transcendental issues that our societies share,

58
00:06:41.594 --> 00:06:44.100
and that is prosperity and security.

59
00:06:44.100 --> 00:06:47.030
Through dialogue, each country has presented

60
00:06:47.030 --> 00:06:49.468
the main challenges that they go through.

61
00:06:49.468 --> 00:06:52.351
All the efforts made and all the areas

62
00:06:52.351 --> 00:06:55.018
where collaboration can be seen.

63
00:06:55.609 --> 00:06:58.841
Therefore, we have taken stock of this pace

64
00:06:58.841 --> 00:07:01.008
to reaffirm what unites us

65
00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:04.067
and what divides us as a region.

66
00:07:04.336 --> 00:07:07.753
We have asked each other to make our best

67
00:07:08.253 --> 00:07:11.170
for the well-being of our citizens.

68
00:07:11.516 --> 00:07:14.099
We have decided to act promptly

69
00:07:14.269 --> 00:07:17.588
and efficiently to reach the outcomes that we have

70
00:07:17.588 --> 00:07:21.255
set forth to achieve and that are persistent

71
00:07:21.422 --> 00:07:22.756
in the long term.

72
00:07:22.756 --> 00:07:26.676
But above all, we should do it in a comprehensive fashion,

73
00:07:26.676 --> 00:07:30.373
from a regional perspective, and Mexico is fully convinced

74
00:07:30.373 --> 00:07:32.109
that that is the way to go

75
00:07:32.109 --> 00:07:34.907
because all the problems that we face are common.

76
00:07:34.907 --> 00:07:38.667
And it's paramount that we generate joint solutions

77
00:07:38.667 --> 00:07:42.834
because the threats to security of the partnered nations

78
00:07:43.580 --> 00:07:46.742
that they face are threats to the security of each

79
00:07:46.742 --> 00:07:48.338
of our own countries.

80
00:07:48.338 --> 00:07:51.823
And it is upon this vision that we have gathered here

81
00:07:51.823 --> 00:07:54.214
to set dialogue, a permanent dialogue

82
00:07:54.214 --> 00:07:58.381
that will result in a broad collaboration between sister

83
00:07:58.643 --> 00:08:00.796
nations of Central America.

84
00:08:00.796 --> 00:08:04.963
This is a clear sign of the high level task forces

85
00:08:05.166 --> 00:08:06.583
represented here.

86
00:08:07.346 --> 00:08:09.774
This is how our countries have worked together

87
00:08:09.774 --> 00:08:13.357
with joint strategies that our institutions

88
00:08:14.024 --> 00:08:17.040
are implementing through coordinated efforts

89
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.455
to strengthen security and stability in our region.

90
00:08:20.455 --> 00:08:22.986
In this conference, the different delegations

91
00:08:22.986 --> 00:08:25.300
we have defined our priorities.

92
00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:28.818
We have decided to reinforce different actions.

93
00:08:28.818 --> 00:08:31.684
We have decided to share responsibility vis-a-vis

94
00:08:31.684 --> 00:08:35.225
the issues that we face, like violence, drug dealing,

95
00:08:35.225 --> 00:08:37.058
and human trafficking.

96
00:08:37.173 --> 00:08:38.812
Therefore, Mexico and the United States,

97
00:08:38.812 --> 00:08:42.979
we have made a commitment to join efforts and to walk along

98
00:08:43.582 --> 00:08:47.518
the nations of Central America to strengthen and build

99
00:08:47.518 --> 00:08:51.116
our capacity as the governments that we have gathered here.

100
00:08:51.116 --> 00:08:53.167
And the agreements that we have made here

101
00:08:53.167 --> 00:08:55.801
have been made because of their importance.

102
00:08:55.801 --> 00:08:58.645
And we're working towards the same goal.

103
00:08:58.645 --> 00:09:01.395
Mexico is engaged in this effort.

104
00:09:02.243 --> 00:09:04.760
We're going to walk along all of you

105
00:09:04.760 --> 00:09:06.904
as part of a common agenda that we share.

106
00:09:06.904 --> 00:09:11.071
And that is to build a future based upon shared prosperity.

107
00:09:12.417 --> 00:09:15.860
And for that, we are gathered here to give the first step.

108
00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:18.037
And it is upon that dialogue that we share

109
00:09:18.037 --> 00:09:19.620
a bigger challenge.

110
00:09:19.844 --> 00:09:24.011
And that is to move from agreements to concrete actions

111
00:09:24.316 --> 00:09:27.242
because only through actions it will be possible

112
00:09:27.242 --> 00:09:31.364
to move from an understanding to a true regional alliance

113
00:09:31.364 --> 00:09:33.653
to favor security and prosperity.

114
00:09:33.653 --> 00:09:36.445
A partnership that is based every single moment

115
00:09:36.445 --> 00:09:39.018
in full respect to every other parties

116
00:09:39.018 --> 00:09:41.820
that are part of this partnership.

117
00:09:41.820 --> 00:09:45.987
And a partnership where there are no small or large nations.

118
00:09:47.165 --> 00:09:49.672
That none of our interests are more important

119
00:09:49.672 --> 00:09:52.110
than other nations' interests.

120
00:09:52.110 --> 00:09:52.943
Thank you.

121
00:09:59.646 --> 00:10:01.586
- [Woman] So we're gonna take a few questions.

122
00:10:01.586 --> 00:10:04.274
(speaking Spanish)

123
00:10:04.274 --> 00:10:08.441
The first question, could you please raise your hand, AP.

124
00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:10.993
- Hi.

125
00:10:13.420 --> 00:10:15.753
This is for Secretary Kelly.

126
00:10:16.225 --> 00:10:18.442
Based on your discussions today,

127
00:10:18.442 --> 00:10:21.985
what is your current thinking on the appropriateness

128
00:10:21.985 --> 00:10:23.915
of extending TPS next year

129
00:10:23.915 --> 00:10:25.978
for the Central American countries?

130
00:10:25.978 --> 00:10:27.914
And then can you say what did you hear

131
00:10:27.914 --> 00:10:32.081
from the Central American officials today on that subject?

132
00:10:33.706 --> 00:10:37.873
- The conference body did not include any discussion on TPS.

133
00:10:39.105 --> 00:10:42.355
Although it certainly would be a factor

134
00:10:42.464 --> 00:10:44.603
in what we're trying to do, what we're all trying

135
00:10:44.603 --> 00:10:46.270
to do in the region.

136
00:10:46.963 --> 00:10:48.441
(translator speaking Spanish)

137
00:10:48.441 --> 00:10:49.274
I'm sorry.

138
00:10:49.407 --> 00:10:53.240
(translator speaking Spanish)

139
00:10:56.990 --> 00:11:00.573
But I did have offline bilateral discussion

140
00:11:01.030 --> 00:11:03.613
with all of the three countries

141
00:11:04.118 --> 00:11:06.701
in the northern tier about TPS.

142
00:11:06.725 --> 00:11:10.558
(translator speaking Spanish)

143
00:11:12.469 --> 00:11:14.974
And over time, we're work together on some resolution.

144
00:11:14.974 --> 00:11:18.807
(translator speaking Spanish)

145
00:11:21.457 --> 00:11:23.481
- [Woman] Second question for Naughty Max.

146
00:11:23.481 --> 00:11:26.398
(speaking Spanish)

147
00:11:27.975 --> 00:11:30.892
(speaking Spanish)

148
00:11:58.721 --> 00:11:59.944
- Thank you very much.

149
00:11:59.944 --> 00:12:02.706
This is a question for Secretary Chong.

150
00:12:02.706 --> 00:12:05.222
I would like to know what are the expectations

151
00:12:05.222 --> 00:12:07.394
for Mexico after this meeting?

152
00:12:07.394 --> 00:12:09.428
And the second question, I would like to know

153
00:12:09.428 --> 00:12:10.886
if the U.S. government has shared

154
00:12:10.886 --> 00:12:12.959
with the Mexican government their concerns

155
00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:15.762
about potential links of drug cartel activities

156
00:12:15.762 --> 00:12:17.512
linked to terrorists?

157
00:12:17.958 --> 00:12:20.875
(speaking Spanish)

158
00:12:43.007 --> 00:12:44.724
In terms of your first question,

159
00:12:44.724 --> 00:12:46.609
our next steps are to give follow-up

160
00:12:46.609 --> 00:12:48.747
to the conclusions drawn from this conference

161
00:12:48.747 --> 00:12:51.890
and to the agreements each of the task forces set up

162
00:12:51.890 --> 00:12:55.689
for this effort will build strong links in the region

163
00:12:55.689 --> 00:12:58.203
towards prosperity and security.

164
00:12:58.203 --> 00:13:01.120
(speaking Spanish)

165
00:13:55.832 --> 00:13:57.809
Yesterday afternoon, I had a conversation

166
00:13:57.809 --> 00:14:01.229
with Secretary Kelly when we talked about the statement

167
00:14:01.229 --> 00:14:03.535
made by Secretary Tillerson.

168
00:14:03.535 --> 00:14:05.756
And he explained to me that the dividends

169
00:14:05.756 --> 00:14:07.855
that come from the sales of drugs

170
00:14:07.855 --> 00:14:10.544
in different countries and different regions of the world

171
00:14:10.544 --> 00:14:14.711
are the dividends that are linked to terrorist groups.

172
00:14:14.871 --> 00:14:17.788
But there is no link at all between

173
00:14:19.430 --> 00:14:21.059
those activities and Mexico.

174
00:14:21.059 --> 00:14:25.226
That was what we discussed in our yesterday's conversation.

175
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.543
- [Woman] Okay, next question.

176
00:14:29.543 --> 00:14:32.460
(speaking Spanish)

177
00:14:40.908 --> 00:14:44.158
(man speaking Spanish)

178
00:15:29.093 --> 00:15:31.567
- [Translator] The U.S. approved $150 million

179
00:15:31.567 --> 00:15:34.234
for the Alliance for Prosperity.

180
00:15:34.713 --> 00:15:37.213
Based on the outcomes of this,

181
00:15:37.433 --> 00:15:40.138
we understood that these funds might have been reduced

182
00:15:40.138 --> 00:15:41.377
or would be reduced.

183
00:15:41.377 --> 00:15:43.156
As a result of this conference,

184
00:15:43.156 --> 00:15:46.694
talking to the countries in the Northern Triangle,

185
00:15:46.694 --> 00:15:49.272
do you think that this is gonna change fiscally

186
00:15:49.272 --> 00:15:50.939
in the year to come?

187
00:15:53.741 --> 00:15:56.671
- I'd say first that we're still going,

188
00:15:56.671 --> 00:15:58.758
the U.S. is still going through its budgetary process.

189
00:15:58.758 --> 00:16:01.312
So I wouldn't wanna try and make a prediction.

190
00:16:01.312 --> 00:16:03.129
And I don't mean to avoid the question.

191
00:16:03.129 --> 00:16:07.296
It's just my sense is there is still great support.

192
00:16:07.486 --> 00:16:11.653
But again we're going through our budgetary system.

193
00:16:12.635 --> 00:16:16.468
(translator speaking Spanish)

194
00:16:24.791 --> 00:16:26.441
That said, and I don't mean to speak

195
00:16:26.441 --> 00:16:28.441
for the three countries,

196
00:16:28.868 --> 00:16:31.854
but first of all, the Alliance for Prosperity

197
00:16:31.854 --> 00:16:33.354
was what they did.

198
00:16:33.774 --> 00:16:35.307
They put this together.

199
00:16:35.307 --> 00:16:38.500
And they started this with their own money

200
00:16:38.500 --> 00:16:42.333
(translator speaking Spanish)

201
00:16:49.364 --> 00:16:51.797
And then the United States Congress sees any money

202
00:16:51.797 --> 00:16:54.320
that would be sent to the countries through the Alliance

203
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.842
for Prosperity as not being aid,

204
00:16:56.842 --> 00:16:58.550
but being an investment.

205
00:16:58.550 --> 00:17:02.383
(translator speaking Spanish)

206
00:17:08.987 --> 00:17:10.519
And on the topic of investment,

207
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:13.185
yesterday's entire day was spent

208
00:17:13.337 --> 00:17:15.762
on this very topic of investment.

209
00:17:15.762 --> 00:17:19.930
And the number of very, very high-end representatives

210
00:17:20.068 --> 00:17:22.208
of large corporations were there

211
00:17:22.208 --> 00:17:25.390
and listened to the countries and the countries

212
00:17:25.390 --> 00:17:28.938
listened to them about how to attract investment,

213
00:17:28.938 --> 00:17:31.125
what do they need in terms of investment,

214
00:17:31.125 --> 00:17:34.543
and what changes may be needed in order for

215
00:17:34.543 --> 00:17:38.710
to be a more or even better investment friendly environment.

216
00:17:39.982 --> 00:17:43.815
(translator speaking Spanish)

217
00:18:01.218 --> 00:18:02.509
- [Woman] Next question.

218
00:18:02.509 --> 00:18:05.426
(speaking Spanish)

219
00:18:11.052 --> 00:18:13.969
(speaking Spanish)

220
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.166
- Secretary Kelly is taking care of the MS-13,

221
00:19:12.166 --> 00:19:13.666
a very rapid clip.

222
00:19:15.304 --> 00:19:18.221
(speaking Spanish)

223
00:19:27.054 --> 00:19:28.156
- [Translator] The first question is,

224
00:19:28.156 --> 00:19:29.230
throughout throughout this conference,

225
00:19:29.230 --> 00:19:31.666
did you discover in speaking with the delegations

226
00:19:31.666 --> 00:19:34.023
from other countries that you mentioned

227
00:19:34.023 --> 00:19:37.732
the possibility of the effects of deporting people

228
00:19:37.732 --> 00:19:39.759
or stop deporting people to improve

229
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:41.913
the security situation or how this affects

230
00:19:41.913 --> 00:19:45.163
the security situation in this country.

231
00:19:45.635 --> 00:19:47.633
The second question was,

232
00:19:47.633 --> 00:19:49.871
if you discussed with El Salvador

233
00:19:49.871 --> 00:19:52.371
the comments about deportation

234
00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:54.823
that President Trump made

235
00:19:59.432 --> 00:20:03.015
in regards to the situation in El Salvador.

236
00:20:07.897 --> 00:20:11.314
- On the topic of removals of individuals

237
00:20:12.212 --> 00:20:15.545
that are in the United States illegally,

238
00:20:16.091 --> 00:20:19.327
the collaboration between the United States

239
00:20:19.327 --> 00:20:22.827
and the three countries, very, very close.

240
00:20:22.924 --> 00:20:25.028
We have a very smooth operation

241
00:20:25.028 --> 00:20:26.804
in terms of how we do that.

242
00:20:26.804 --> 00:20:28.883
Of course, the removals are done

243
00:20:28.883 --> 00:20:33.050
with great care and with respect for the individuals

244
00:20:34.422 --> 00:20:36.339
that are being removed.

245
00:20:36.736 --> 00:20:39.247
We certainly have a collaboration between the United States

246
00:20:39.247 --> 00:20:42.170
and the three countries as to who's coming back,

247
00:20:42.170 --> 00:20:43.253
who they are.

248
00:20:44.238 --> 00:20:46.571
If they're criminals or not.

249
00:20:46.895 --> 00:20:49.789
So all of this I think works very well.

250
00:20:49.789 --> 00:20:53.235
And again, the countries are very, very cooperative

251
00:20:53.235 --> 00:20:54.485
in this regard.

252
00:20:54.644 --> 00:20:56.442
And the second question?

253
00:20:56.442 --> 00:20:58.197
- [Translator] Yeah, I didn't get it much either, sir.

254
00:20:58.197 --> 00:20:59.645
I'm gonna go ahead and respond to the first question.

255
00:20:59.645 --> 00:21:02.073
And then I'm gonna ask you to restate.

256
00:21:02.073 --> 00:21:05.906
(translator speaking Spanish)

257
00:21:38.100 --> 00:21:41.517
(woman speaking Spanish)

258
00:21:49.367 --> 00:21:51.843
- Again, I'm not so sure I understand the question.

259
00:21:51.843 --> 00:21:55.426
But I'll just say that coordination is made

260
00:21:55.615 --> 00:21:59.698
with every country that the United States removes

261
00:22:00.147 --> 00:22:01.383
their citizens to,

262
00:22:01.383 --> 00:22:05.128
not just these three countries, every country.

263
00:22:05.128 --> 00:22:08.961
(translator speaking Spanish)

264
00:22:15.409 --> 00:22:17.909
If they are in fact criminals,

265
00:22:18.082 --> 00:22:20.999
then they've already finished their

266
00:22:21.138 --> 00:22:25.305
penalty in the United States before they're removed.

267
00:22:25.882 --> 00:22:29.715
(translator speaking Spanish)

268
00:22:33.529 --> 00:22:35.745
And if they're identified as gang members,

269
00:22:35.745 --> 00:22:37.849
but perhaps gang members that have not yet

270
00:22:37.849 --> 00:22:40.650
committed serious crimes in the United States,

271
00:22:40.650 --> 00:22:44.483
(translator speaking Spanish)

272
00:22:46.981 --> 00:22:49.044
we identify those individuals to the country

273
00:22:49.044 --> 00:22:52.127
that's receiving them as gang members

274
00:22:52.128 --> 00:22:54.526
and what their backgrounds are relative

275
00:22:54.526 --> 00:22:56.146
to the United States.

276
00:22:56.146 --> 00:22:59.979
(translator speaking Spanish)

277
00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:06.739
And by the way, all of the countries,

278
00:23:06.739 --> 00:23:09.046
the three countries of the Northern Triangle,

279
00:23:09.046 --> 00:23:13.006
are very, very cooperative with the United States.

280
00:23:13.006 --> 00:23:16.839
(translator speaking Spanish)

281
00:23:19.412 --> 00:23:22.757
That if citizens of these three countries

282
00:23:22.757 --> 00:23:24.868
commit crimes in the United States

283
00:23:24.868 --> 00:23:28.285
and then flee south to avoid prosecution,

284
00:23:28.993 --> 00:23:32.826
(translator speaking Spanish)

285
00:23:37.347 --> 00:23:41.080
the countries within the laws, the local laws,

286
00:23:41.080 --> 00:23:43.461
will oftentimes extradite them back to the

287
00:23:43.461 --> 00:23:45.493
United States for justice.

288
00:23:45.493 --> 00:23:49.326
(translator speaking Spanish)

289
00:23:59.204 --> 00:24:00.229
- [Woman] One more question.

290
00:24:00.229 --> 00:24:01.062
CNN.

291
00:24:07.189 --> 00:24:08.939
- To Secretary Kelly.

292
00:24:09.449 --> 00:24:13.616
DHS made the formal move to resend DAPA last night.

293
00:24:14.470 --> 00:24:18.263
But many of the criticisms including that President Trump

294
00:24:18.263 --> 00:24:22.229
have made about DAPA, it's an executive amnesty,

295
00:24:22.229 --> 00:24:23.510
it's not in line with his policies,

296
00:24:23.510 --> 00:24:25.843
can also be applied to DACA,

297
00:24:26.294 --> 00:24:28.246
which you once again reaffirmed the Trump

298
00:24:28.246 --> 00:24:29.772
administration will continue.

299
00:24:29.772 --> 00:24:32.197
So my question is, if the administration

300
00:24:32.197 --> 00:24:35.698
is against DAPA, why are we continuing with DACA?

301
00:24:35.698 --> 00:24:39.707
And relatedly, what assurances do those recipients have

302
00:24:39.707 --> 00:24:43.874
that the rug won't be pulled out from under them tomorrow?

303
00:24:44.139 --> 00:24:47.005
And then I have a question for Secretary Chong as well,

304
00:24:47.005 --> 00:24:49.838
but if you want to translate that.

305
00:24:50.389 --> 00:24:54.222
(translator speaking Spanish)

306
00:25:09.571 --> 00:25:12.988
- Well, as you know, two separate issues.

307
00:25:13.742 --> 00:25:15.692
One applies to students.

308
00:25:15.692 --> 00:25:17.942
And one applies to parents.

309
00:25:18.461 --> 00:25:22.294
(translator speaking Spanish)

310
00:25:24.735 --> 00:25:28.318
Neither one of them went through the normal

311
00:25:29.227 --> 00:25:32.727
law-making system that we have turned them

312
00:25:32.936 --> 00:25:34.353
into, again, law.

313
00:25:34.951 --> 00:25:38.784
(translator speaking Spanish)

314
00:25:43.063 --> 00:25:44.420
- [Translator] What was that last part, sir?

315
00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:46.034
- That they weren't law.

316
00:25:46.034 --> 00:25:47.951
They were done by memo.

317
00:25:49.145 --> 00:25:52.978
(translator speaking Spanish)

318
00:25:53.014 --> 00:25:54.708
So in the case of DAPA,

319
00:25:54.708 --> 00:25:57.375
the one that applies to parents,

320
00:25:57.675 --> 00:26:01.508
(translator speaking Spanish)

321
00:26:01.542 --> 00:26:05.209
that was immediately enjoined by the courts.

322
00:26:05.291 --> 00:26:08.891
(translator speaking Spanish)

323
00:26:08.891 --> 00:26:10.626
And it languished in limbo for now

324
00:26:10.626 --> 00:26:12.189
I think two or three years.

325
00:26:12.189 --> 00:26:14.572
(translator speaking Spanish)

326
00:26:14.572 --> 00:26:16.081
So my action yesterday was just to do

327
00:26:16.081 --> 00:26:17.939
a little house cleaning.

328
00:26:17.939 --> 00:26:19.713
And I just canceled the memo.

329
00:26:19.713 --> 00:26:23.546
(translator speaking Spanish)

330
00:26:24.435 --> 00:26:27.018
DACA, that applies to students.

331
00:26:27.191 --> 00:26:29.169
(translator speaking Spanish)

332
00:26:29.169 --> 00:26:30.684
Has not been changed.

333
00:26:30.684 --> 00:26:34.517
(translator speaking Spanish)

334
00:26:36.433 --> 00:26:37.266
Well,

335
00:26:37.266 --> 00:26:38.986
(translator speaking Spanish)

336
00:26:38.986 --> 00:26:41.649
one was enjoined by the courts, and the other one wasn't.

337
00:26:41.649 --> 00:26:45.077
So just house cleaning on the part of DACA.

338
00:26:45.077 --> 00:26:46.127
(translator speaking Spanish)

339
00:26:46.127 --> 00:26:48.210
Correction, DAPA, thanks.

340
00:27:01.061 --> 00:27:03.228
- And for Secretary Chong,

341
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:05.691
the immigration policies of the United States

342
00:27:05.691 --> 00:27:07.691
certainly impact Mexico.

343
00:27:07.883 --> 00:27:10.723
And we've already seen some of those impacts in Mexico.

344
00:27:10.723 --> 00:27:14.090
So my question is, are you concerned about

345
00:27:14.090 --> 00:27:15.745
the ways that some of the policies

346
00:27:15.745 --> 00:27:18.580
of the Trump administration could affect Mexico?

347
00:27:18.580 --> 00:27:21.497
And how are you dealing with those?

348
00:27:21.505 --> 00:27:25.338
(translator speaking Spanish)

349
00:27:38.450 --> 00:27:41.367
(speaking Spanish)

350
00:28:56.218 --> 00:28:58.860
- [Translator] Since the meeting that we had in Mexico City,

351
00:28:58.860 --> 00:29:01.696
we have talked, we have set a dialogue

352
00:29:01.696 --> 00:29:05.334
about the announcements made by the U.S. government.

353
00:29:05.334 --> 00:29:09.001
Since that dialogue, we have seen that the results

354
00:29:09.001 --> 00:29:12.757
announced have not made the gap between the United States

355
00:29:12.757 --> 00:29:13.791
and Mexico bigger.

356
00:29:13.791 --> 00:29:16.558
On the contrary, we have grown closer.

357
00:29:16.558 --> 00:29:18.998
When deportations happen, when Mexicans are sent

358
00:29:18.998 --> 00:29:21.422
back to our country, this happens

359
00:29:21.422 --> 00:29:23.021
in the most efficient fashion.

360
00:29:23.021 --> 00:29:25.117
And I have to be very clear in terms

361
00:29:25.117 --> 00:29:26.617
of how it happens.

362
00:29:27.177 --> 00:29:29.437
Before Mexicans are deported to Mexico,

363
00:29:29.437 --> 00:29:32.733
there's an agreement, there is dialogue about the process.

364
00:29:32.733 --> 00:29:36.233
We know the names, the place, and the time

365
00:29:36.414 --> 00:29:39.581
when people are going to be sent back.

366
00:29:39.602 --> 00:29:42.987
And none of the actions announced have affected Mexicans

367
00:29:42.987 --> 00:29:43.904
in any way.

368
00:29:44.058 --> 00:29:47.808
We have not seen any human rights violations.

369
00:29:48.059 --> 00:29:50.664
And what Secretary Kelly has agreed,

370
00:29:50.664 --> 00:29:53.914
and that's what we've seen in practice.

371
00:29:54.501 --> 00:29:56.539
- [Woman] One last question for effe.

372
00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:59.456
(speaking Spanish)

373
00:30:02.915 --> 00:30:05.832
(speaking Spanish)

374
00:30:34.967 --> 00:30:36.982
- [Translator] Is there a possibility that U.S. and Mexico

375
00:30:36.982 --> 00:30:39.869
have an agreement to train the Central American forces

376
00:30:39.869 --> 00:30:43.325
in regards to fighting crime, and what not.

377
00:30:43.325 --> 00:30:46.625
And also, similar to the one that Mexico

378
00:30:46.625 --> 00:30:48.350
and the United States share now.

379
00:30:48.350 --> 00:30:50.285
And also, if this is the case,

380
00:30:50.285 --> 00:30:54.113
how would you deal with corruption denunciations

381
00:30:54.113 --> 00:30:57.946
that there are against the military in Mexico?

382
00:30:59.870 --> 00:31:02.787
(speaking Spanish)

383
00:31:20.445 --> 00:31:22.020
- [Translator] There are no additional agreements

384
00:31:22.020 --> 00:31:23.585
from what we already have.

385
00:31:23.585 --> 00:31:26.113
We've talked about sharing information,

386
00:31:26.113 --> 00:31:28.530
but not about joint training.

387
00:31:29.013 --> 00:31:31.930
(speaking Spanish)

388
00:31:40.306 --> 00:31:42.765
And I bluntly reject any generalization

389
00:31:42.765 --> 00:31:45.356
that there's corruption in our armed forces.

390
00:31:45.356 --> 00:31:48.273
(speaking Spanish)

391
00:31:51.804 --> 00:31:53.990
These are prestigious institutions

392
00:31:53.990 --> 00:31:56.971
that the Mexican people have in high regard.

393
00:31:56.971 --> 00:31:59.888
(speaking Spanish)

394
00:32:05.962 --> 00:32:08.841
And where there have been violations to the law,

395
00:32:08.841 --> 00:32:11.674
those actions have been prosecuted

396
00:32:11.967 --> 00:32:14.050
in the army jurisdiction.

397
00:32:16.832 --> 00:32:18.019
- [Woman] Thank you everyone for coming.

398
00:32:18.019 --> 00:32:20.698
Please stay seated until the delegation leaves the room.

399
00:32:20.698 --> 00:32:23.615
(speaking Spanish)

400
00:32:26.232 --> 00:32:27.815
- Thanks, everyone.
