Donald Trump said Monday that the United States should "pay attention" to people from the Bahamas they welcome on their territory after the devastating passage of Hurricane Dorian, warning against "very bad traffickers."
"We must be very careful" to people admitted to US territory, the Republican president told reporters from the White House.
"Everyone will have to have the right papers (…) The Bahamas have a lot of problems with people who (…) are not supposed to be there. I do not want to allow these people who were not supposed to be in the Bahamas to come to the United States, including very bad people, gang members and very nasty traffickers, "he said.
The remarks of the US president include following the arrival this weekend in Florida of a ferry with on board nearly 1500 survivors of the Bahamas.
Several hundred people were unable to enter the United States, however, for lack of a visa. An error, according to Mark Morgan, the director of border police.
"There is going to be confusion, that's what happened here," he said from the White House earlier in the day on Monday, adding that people "whose lives are in danger" will be admitted to the United States, as long as they do not pose a threat to the country.
According to the latest interim report, Hurricane Dorian killed at least 45 people in the Bahamas after devastating the north of this Caribbean archipelago.
