是否要關美墨邊界？特朗普發出含混信號

U.S. President Donald Trump offered mixed signals Tuesday on whether he plans to close the U.S. southern border with Mexico to thwart the surge of undocumented migrants trying to seek asylum in the United States.
美國總統特朗普星期二就他是否會關閉美國與墨西哥的邊界發出含混的信號。特朗普警告要關閉邊界是爲了阻止試圖在美國尋求庇護的無證移民激增的現象。

"After many years (decades), Mexico is apprehending large numbers of people at their Southern Border, mostly from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador," President Donald Trump said Tuesday on Twitter, days after he accused Mexico of doing nothing to stem the flow of migrants heading to the United States and threatening to close the border if it did not immediately step up enforcement.
星期二，特朗普總統在推特上說：“在多年(幾十年)之後，墨西哥正在他們的南部邊界拘捕大量的人，多數來自危地馬拉、洪都拉斯和薩爾瓦多。” 幾天前，特朗普指責墨西哥在制止移民前來美國方面無所作爲，並警告說，如果墨西哥不立即加強執法力度，美國將關閉美墨邊界。

No border closing decision has been made, and Trump later said he is ready to close it if he feels he has to.
美國並沒有做出關閉邊界的決定。特朗普後來說，他已做好了在他覺得必要的時候關閉邊界的準備。

"I'm totally prepared to do it," Trump said at the White House.
特朗普在白宮說：“我完全準備好這樣做。”

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said Monday that nearly $1.7 billion of goods and services flow across the U.S.-Mexico border each day, and nearly half a million legal workers, students, shoppers and tourists cross the dividing line between the two countries, as well.
美國商會星期一說，每天有將近17億美元的貨物和服務流經美墨邊界，還有近50萬合法工作者、學生、購物者和旅遊者越過國界。

"Sure, it would have a negative effect on the economy," Trump said of a possible border closing. "But security is what's more important. Security is more important to me than trade."
特朗普談到關閉邊界的可能性時說：“沒錯，對經濟會有負面影響。但是安全更重要。安全對我來說比貿易更重要。”

Trump spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said U.S. officials are "looking at all options" whether to close entry ports from Mexico and what the impact would be. Sanders said the White House's Council of Economic Advisers is studying the impact of closing different ports of entry.
總統發言人薩拉·桑德斯說，在是否關閉美墨入境口岸以及關閉邊界會造成什麼影響的問題上，美國官員正在“考慮所有選項”。她說，白宮經濟顧問委員會正在研究關閉各種入境口岸所造成的影響。

She said U.S. officials see Mexico "stepping up and taking a greater sense of responsibility" for the surge of immigrants, about 100,000 last month, mostly from Central America, who entered the United States to request asylum to escape poverty and violence in their homelands.
她說，美國官員看到墨西哥正“加大力度並表現出更大的責任感”。上個月有大約10萬人入境美國尋求庇護，以逃離本國的貧窮和暴力。多數人來自中美洲。

"They have started to do a significant amount more," Sanders said of Mexico. "We've seen them take a larger number of individuals" and hold those who have asylum claims in Mexico while they are being processed in the United States.
桑德斯談到墨西哥時說，“他們必須開始付出明顯更多的努力。我們已經看到他們收押了更多的人”，並收容那些庇護申請者，讓他們在墨西哥等候美國的審理結果。

"We've also seen them stop more people from coming across the border so that they aren't even entering into the United States," she said. "So those two things are certainly helpful and we'd like to see them continue."
她說：“我們還看到他們制止了更多的人越境，所以他們甚至連美國的邊境都沒有進入。因此，這兩點顯然有幫助，我們希望看到他們繼續努力。”
