The Supreme Court says yes to murocon Mexico and Donald Trump rejoices. The nine essays have given the green light to the tycoon for the use of the funds of the Pentagon, around 2.5 billion dollars, for the construction of the fence on the border with Mexico. "Wow! A great victory", tweeted the American president, also satisfied with having received the agreement with Guatemala on the asylum requests of migrants.

With five votes in favor and four against, those of the liberal judges, the Supreme Court has overturned a previous sentence and established that the funds can be transferred by the Department of Defense and used for work on 160.9 kilometers of wall while the various actions legal proceedings continue in the American courts.

In the decision, contained in a single page and unsigned, it explains how the groups and communities that sued the administration to block the transfer of funds did not have the legal rights to make claims.

A Trump who exults for the Court's decision, to which he has appointed two judges making it turn to the right, contrasts with the disappointment of the association that challenged him. "It is a temporary hitch. We will ask the judges to speed up the ongoing appeals so that they can irreversibly stop the damage of Trump's wall," the American Civil Liberties Union said. The decision of the 9 wise men represents a slap in the face of the Democratic majority Chamber, which is against the Trump wall and has sided with the groups that have sued it, considering the transfer of funds in violation of the law. "According to the Constitution an immense wall along the border cannot simply be built without congressional funds for the purpose, "the House's lawyers told the Supreme Court judges before the ruling. Words that have not been followed and that feed the tumors between the liberal ranks for a conservative Supreme Court 'Made in Trump' and ready to line up with the president. Criticisms at the moment that the party keeps behind the scenes in order not to damage the reputation of the highest American justice body.

But it is not just the wall that gives Trump satisfaction: the president scored the double with the agreement with Guatemala, which arrived after his repeated threats. The agreement provides that migrants from Honduras and El Salvador are obliged to present their asylum applications in Guatemala, one of the poorest countries in Central America, instead of in the United States. The agreement will help to "ease the pressure on the border", the president rejoiced without going into the details of the contents and methods of implementation, given that the country does not appear able to carry out the required task. Last year, Guatemala received only 259 asylum requests and none of them were approved as the buildings to house the offices were under construction. But the White House flaunts security and optimism: the agreement will be fully operational by August.
