But a look at the latest deportation statistics from the Mexican government show that the country has been putting up a formidable enforcement barrier of its own, with a massive crackdown on Central American migrants trying to reach the United States.

Between October and April, Mexican authorities detained 92,889 Central Americans, up from 49,893 over the same period the previous year.

Trump should bring up Mexico’s Southern border enforcement when he’s questioned about his policy.

As far as I know, Trump’s plan is very simple:

Build a wall from California to Texas.

I don’t know of anyone else, saying what Americans want, so clearly.

Not one person. Anywhere.

How do you figure.

I’m a relative recent immigrant to Texas from California.

It is an honest question. Why not?

“It is an honest question. Why not?”

Which side of the river you going to build it on, what country and it’s people will you cut the water off to?
