Comprehensive immigration reform. The spending bill is not the vehicle.

Does that mean he will think he can order a "shoot on sight" type of order at the border and assign more troops?

people cross the border for WORK everyday.

FOOD grown by American companies IN MEXICO crosses the border every day.

essential goods cross the border every day. car parts, for instance.

expats who LIVE IN MEXICO cross the border every day.

go ahead, inflict that pain on americans. they'll forget by 2020, don't worry.

1.25 million Ex Pats living within half hour of the Border.

So the Simpleton wants to close the Border Stations,that ought to get f---n interesting. No Trucks,no Trains and No Coastal shipping,that will tank the friggin market once and for real. Would it not be funny if Canada did the same to us.

using binary thinking and hyperbole.

eventually the adults in the room will settle this but the tantrum will inflict real harm.

As to part two,that answer is absolutely no,and if you ask in relation to the present Turd in the Oval office,well that was Putin's smelly present to the USA.

Who is the "We" he speaks of? Stephen Miller and Hannity, perhaps?

This has never been done before - not long term. I would think the House or Senate might have some check on that?

Isn't there a treaty involved concerning the rules of operation and the condition of the border check-points?

And I'm sure if the Feds just up and lock the gates, the States with border towns might something to say about it, not to mention U.S. citizens (many being elderly white relatives) who would be caught in Mexico might cause a stink.

Just another two-bit thug show from Donny the Wannabe.

How will he manage to return over a closed border? Can we send all other Repugs south just before the closure? LOL
