President Trump on Friday threatened to close the Southern Border next week if Mexico does not “immediately stop” the record-breaking surge of illegal immigrants flooding into the United States. Trump´s warning comes as Customs and Border Protection officials say March is on pace to exceed 100,000 border apprehensions -- the highest monthly total in a decade. According to CBP, this week alone, agents have more than 12,000 migrants in custody., “The DEMOCRATS have given us the weakest immigration laws anywhere in the World. Mexico has the strongest, & they make more than $100 Billion a year on the U.S.,” Trump

The definitions of INVASION: "the act of entering a place by force, often in large numbers"
"an occasion when an army or country uses force to enter and take control of another country"
"an occasion when a large number of people or things come to a place in an annoying and unwanted way"
"an action or process that affects someone´s life in an unpleasant and unwanted way"

I hope Trump has been on the phone to that little tyrant in Mexico and told him to stop those people from using Mexico to invade the U. S. or he will shut down the border.
He needs to move more of the military there as well.

Require all applications for asylum, or any other request to enter the U.S. be made at the Embassy, in their home country. They can wait there until they get a hearing.

Roll out a few Abrams A1a3 main battle tanks at the border. Fire a few rounds down range.

For months we´ve had daily headlines saying: Trump threatens to close the border. I believed the threat/promise the first few times I saw it, I no longer believe it will happen.

Much faster getting a response if he threatens to reduce their foreign aid.

It is “fool’s gold” to believe that the Mexican Government or the leftist and liberal Democrats will do anything effective to enforce and maintain a secure international borderline between the USA and Mexico.
The Mexican Government has always maintained that the borderline is illegitimate and serves as a nusense to Mexicans who have a human right, regardless of US immigration laws, to enter the USA as they wish, to make a better life for themselves and their families. The Mexican Government position is that once in the USA those Mexicans, who are illegal aliens under US law, should be treated equally as US citizens are treated and be deemed eligible to fully participate in the US social welfare and healthcare networks. To make that point Mexico placed a provision in the Mexican Federal Constitution to the effect that it is unconstitutional for the Mexican Government to interfere with migrants crossing the borderline from Mexico into the USA.
The leftist and liberal Democrats essentially support the Mexican position on the borderline, and have been allowed by cheap labor loving Republicans to undermine the immigration laws with covert loopholes, want to now abolish all effective immigration law enforcement efforts throughout the USA and consider the illegal alien population that may actually number about 22 million poor, uneducated and socialist minded people, to be natural future Democrat socialist voters that will be used by the Democrats to permanently change the voter demographics in key States, and thus the political balance of the USA to their favor. That’s why the Democrats are supporting de facto “Open Borders”, to abolish ICE, the federal immigration law enforcement agency, and created the so-called Sanctuary Cities concept to defend and protect illegal aliens.

Yes, the legal entry gates can be closed. But the great floods aren´t coming through the entries, they are coming through the other unmanned 1500 miles or so. How is that to be stopped? I hope the president has a plan. He knows how important this crisis is and how much worse it can get.

We know the smuggling routes. We can stop the flow if we want. I´m sorry, we don´t want to. I know the routes here in Arizona. I´ve seen them. They are accompanied by massive garbage dumps. The sheriffs try to a certain degree. It brings in a lot of government money for them. No one seriously wants to stop anything. As long as the vast majority of the public is ignorant on border issues nothing will be done. How many years have we been talking about this? I had hair when we started.

This entire subject is proof that the government thinks our economy cannot get along without slavery. Field workers, factory workers, sex workers, domestic help. Its all just like the deep south 150 years ago.
And both parties want it and are willing to sacrifice our culture, health and even lives to get it.
After this long and with this much infighting, it will take massive application of deadly force to stop it. Just like in Rome, the barbarians will put the final nail in the coffin that was us.

He needs to stop verbally drawing a "red line in the sand" and close the border right now.
Every day the Government should post the amount of tax-payer dollars being spent on ALL of the services and related costs that this series of invasions with which we´re being burdened.
Hundreds of millions into the billions on healthcare, for one thing. Recently monies from HHS (i think it was) were transferred (i though you weren´t supposed to do this) to the border.
Every day they should give the numbers of deaths caused by every means: murder, auto accident, gangs, drugs.
Remind people of how their local taxes are impacted as the schools must accomodate non-English speaking students, whose ages are often unverifiable.
There´s much more to be reiterated.
CLOSE the border; put a hold on any money going to Mexico and Central American States as executive order as we could be funding the invasion unwittingly.
TAX all remittances sent out of the country
(Defenders of these illegals claim they pay taxes. Doubtful. More likely if they do pay taxes on a fake id, they would probably be getting "Earned Income Tax" refund: a hand out.)
CLOSE the border right now.

Close the border NOW.
It is plainly obvious that WE DO NOT have control over our own border,
Once these folks get across, 92% don´t show up for hearings and somehow we have been conditioned into assuming responsibility for them and their families through CHAIN MIGRATION.
This situation is a REAL and PRESENT DANGER to our safety as American citizens.

Nuff said. Shut it until you can deal with the LEGAL immigrants who are following the rules and WAITING 22 months.

Seriously, what´s the point of keeping them in custody? Send them home. The cost to send them home multiple times, if necessary, has to be about the same as housing them with special meals, clothes, medical care, designer sheets and backpacks, etc.

Cancel all trade with Mexico if they don´t start enforcing their own damned side of the border.

I really hope that he does this. Things cannot continue as they are. This is a real emergency. We need to start forcing all asylum claimants to go BACK TO MEXICO to wait for their adjudication of their claims.
