Trump Threatens to Close Border Next Week ‘If Mexico Doesn’t Immediately Stop All Illegal Immigration’

by Colby Hall | Mar 29th, 2019, 11:54 am 676

President Donald Trump revealed in a late Friday morning tweet storm that unless Mexico immediately and completely end all illegal immigration into the United States, he plans to close down the border, or large sections of the border, next week.

While Fox News’ morning show Fox & Friends warned of a “Mother of All Caravans” gathering in the coming days, illegal immigration appears to have risen back to the top of the list of issues the White House is eager to talk about.

It’s not clear what the exact meaning of this presidential fiat means, as Mexico cannot literally be held accountable to ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States — southern border or not — though Trump is certainly talking about undocumented migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

President Trump took a significant political hit just a few months ago when he effectively shut down the government over the lack of funding he requested for building a border wall. Since then he has declared a national emergency to release his much-desired funds, though practically speaking, that effort has not been effective as it tied up in legislative and legal delays.

1. 🤦🏿Not only is this idiotic, but our president is writing (and reasoning) like a five-year-old.

This is embarrassing!

[SunSeeker]

11. Truly. Like our drunk uncle texting from the bar.

[Historic NY]

2. He did and it was like a nightmare, no goods in no goods out....

another way to shut down the economy.

[Botany]

3. Does Trump even know that we have Border Patrol agents?

The man is so stupid it is not funny.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. So,there must be some real ugly

Trump Crime Syndicate news about to happen next week.

5. "Close the border" WTF does that mean?

If it means shut down all traffic back and forth across the US/Mexico border, the economic harm would be in the tens of billions.

Case in point: sometime like 75% to 80% of all fresh winter vegetables for sale in your supermarket's produce section come from Mexico.

I wouldn't get too attached to the tomatoes in your salad, if Trump shuts the border completely.

13. Also...if we can "close the border" effectively at a whim, what do we need more wall for? (n/t)

[dalton99a]

6. Yeah, do that

Fucking moron

[mac56]

7. So what about commerce between Mexico and Canada?

[Mc Mike]

8. That will help the economy. He's an economic genius.

Govern via tweet storm edict, go with your generous gut. Shitler.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Go ahead and do it. He is pathetically stupid and evil.

[yaesu]

10. Maniac with orange hair plugs threatens to shut down the Mexican border unless ransom is paid. nt

12. "Being taken advantage of" is Fat Donnie's number two fear.

If you listen to his speeches (or as much as you can without retching) or read his tweets, the common theme is, "Everyone is taking billions of dollars away from us. Every other country (except Russia, of course) is laughing at us. Every president before me has made the worst deals in history. Only I can fix it."

I think his biggest fear is that someone, somewhere knows what a fraud he is. That might explain his over-the-top attacks on the DOJ/FBI and judiciary. Together, they have the ability to reveal the Emperor has no clothes. With Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barr now strategically placed to protect him legally (why else would Barr be refusing to release an unredacted copy of the full Mueller report, plus supporting evidence, to Congress, much less the American people?) IQ45 is feeling emboldened to unleash whatever lesser angels are left at the bottom of the barrel. His attempt to defund the Special Olympics was just testing the water to see how far he could go.

[Corgigal]

17. That's what I call him too.

Fat Don. If he closes it, it won't be closed for long because it hurts Americans. Fat Don is just too stupid to realize that.

14. Trump really needs to watch himself on this issue

Any halfway decent law student could back Trump up against the border fence on this one, on the grounds he's got "unclean little hands" - while he was screaming the loudest about undocumented immigrants, he had quite a few of them on his personal payroll.

I don't know...are immigration law violations high enough of a misdemeanor to get him impeached?

[Talitha]

16. He's just blowing smoke again....

I swear, every time Assolini tosses a crap-filled Frizbee into twitter, people chase it like a pack of hounds. To be perfectly honest, I think he's acting like a terrified child who's backed himself into a corner. The left arm covers his eyes as the right arm flails blindly, hoping to hit something. It would be laughable - if he weren't such a cruel and dangerous child.

[SCVDem]

18. Does closing the border also

close the airports and cruise ports?

C'mon asshole! Just try it!

[a la izquierda]

19. Hey Donnie Dickhead, please make up your mind.

I have research to do in Mexico and need to know if I should just book a one way ticket.

[Takket]

20. WTF does this word salad even mean???

This is what i heard..............

I hate nachos! Nachos cost money for Americans! Democrats buy nachos! therefor I will unsubscribe from Netflix unless they bring back the Apprentice!
