President Trump on Thursday renewed his threat to close the southern border, claiming in a morning tweet that Mexico is doing “NOTHING” to stop the flow of undocumented immigrants into the United States.

“They are all talk and no action,” Trump said in his tweet. “Likewise, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have taken our money for years, and do Nothing. The Dems don’t care, such BAD laws. May close the Southern Border!”

Trump’s tweet comes a day after the nation’s top border official warned that the U.S. immigration enforcement system along the nation’s southern boundary is at “the breaking point” and said that authorities are having to release migrants into the country after cursory background checks because of a crush of asylum-seeking families with children.

Kevin McAleenan, the commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said that for the first time in more than a decade, his agency is “reluctantly” performing direct releases of migrants, meaning they are not turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, they are not detained, they are not given ankle bracelets to track their movements and they are allowed to leave with just a notice to appear in court at a later date.

1. Message to the caregivers at the adult daycare center:

Please tell trumps doctor that he needs ritalyn. He keeps losing focus and zigzaggs back and forth on issues like a fruitful.

3. Ritalin won't do it

They can start with Haldol, but I fear they’ll just have to use lobotomy to fix what’s wrong with him.

4. Great. If he completely shuts it down, how will I get to my Tijuana dentist to finish my implants?

There are issues here much larger than a few people getting into the country illegally. Let's keep our perspective, shall we?
