President Trump was explicit in this Tweets, setting action required and a deadline. This is, presuming he follows through, finally more than words: If Mexico doesn’t immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States throug our Southern Border, I will be CLOSING...the Border, or large sections of the Border, next week.

Mr. President,stop whining, stop threatening, JUST DO IT! You are presiding over the destruction of the country; the very existence of the nation is at stake!

These lawless animals will NEVER STOP COMING, and the MEXICAN GOVERNMENT along with their DEMON RAT and RINO ENABLERS will NEVER stop encouraging them to break the law and come, while facilitating their arrival UNTIL YOU STOP THEM by making it so ECONOMICALLY PAINFUL that Mexico finally stops them from coming.

I wonder how long it will take a black-robed tyrant to nullify Trump’s shutting down the border.

WHY ARE WE ALLOWING CITIZENS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
WHO ENTER US ILLEGALLY GRANT THEM RIGHTS
THAT THEIR COUNTRY DENY US HAVING
WHEN WE ENTER THEIRS LEGALLY TO VISIT OR RETIRE ???

It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen entering illegally exempting those who do so legally and meet US citizenship requirements. All subject to reciprocal citizen treatment a citizen of the United States receives in Mexico through the Mexican constitution on citizenship .

Besides being unable to vote one must also be a citizen to own land and Mexico is very restrictive about granting citizenship. Because of that a US citizen besides not being able to vote,and cannot have title in their name to any land property in Mexico. And until that is changed the US and the affected state should consider making that reciprocal. Prohibiting any illegal entrant employment, voting, and land ownership privileges fully enforced ..
In other words Sneak into this country before expulsion no job no voting no landowning ..

The issue of sovereignty should not be allowed to get twisted into being propagandized as “White Nationalism”. Use of that term is usually directed when the immigration issue is brought up to devalue of the protections an American citizen have by being one. When allowing the hoards illegally entering the US through the Mexican border avoid enforcing the reciprocal 2nd class treatment that American citizens get while legally residing in Mexico which of course also includes denial of voting privileges..

Today’s so called democrats insist Americans must allow illegals storm in here by the hundreds of thousands despite their cost to us of billion$ in tax dollars,which is never enough. Tax money that should be going to our citizens for their sustenance,health,education,and housing even infrastructure needs. But Americans must do the tax flagellating punishment because we’re the very rich United States and must divert those billion$ to fill the needs of those poor illegals plus give them the right to vote. Sustained by our tax money which our children’s children if not aborted will be paying for.

What never gets mentioned in all of this is the lacking reciprocal treatment. If we applied that policy Because when an American citizen ever tries getting any of those handouts including voting when going to where the great undocumented come from That would never happen. Would this continue ?

The illegals are less interested in tweets as they are in the news from previous illegals who have gotten in.

The word is out. Show up at the border and you get in.

He will do it, if only for a day or two to get Mexico’s attention.

This could happen as early as tonight (Sunday night).

Remember, there’s a lot of manufacturing plants in Mexico - especially in the auto sector - that depend on just-in-time deliveries of supplies. Shutting the border even temporarily is a MAJOR ****-up of their careful planning.

Get the auto executives screaming, that’ll move the lazy Mexican government off its ass, and quick.

Why aren’t we seeing DHS and troops firing tear gas and rubber bullets from behind rows of barbed wire?

Why isn’t emergency authority being used to instantly remove the invaders who get in?

Why isn’t our homeland being defended from invasion?

There should be about dozen US government charter flights or military flights a day from the border area directly to Honduras. You cross the border illegally, you go to Honduras the same or next day. What? You’re from Guatemala or El Salvador? Tough shit invader, Honduras is close enough, catch a bus home from there.

There is a decent air strip, mil base, once used by the US Military north of Tegucigalpa (Comeagua?). Good enough spot for our new deportation hub.

If we cannot push dinky broke Honduras around to make this happen, then we should hang it up, we’re done.

I would like to add one thing to what you are proposing. Send navel vessels down to that area with Marines on there to make everybody very very nervous. Let them worry about a real invasion and take down.

I guess the President’s ears are burning for the scathing words uttered by Lou Dobbs Friday and rebroadcast last night. Numbers don’t lie, and what Dobbs pointed out is that the BP is doing less than it did under Boosh II with nearly twice the manpower. Dobbs is of the opinion, which I share, that Kiersten Nielsen is a waste of time as Homeland Security Secretary, and that now that Mueller has concluded his travesty, Trump now can, and must act definitively, or risk loosing re-election next year. It utterly amazes me the incapable ( or perhaps unwilling) people he has appointed to serve him directly. Nielsen is a “shining example, along with Wray, and others, and I am sure part of his ongoing problem is the RINO infested Senate’s unwillingness to support him with approving really good nominees.

Meanwhile, we who are native born Americans have to jump through hoops to obtain a RealID so we can travel by air.

After Mexico has heard the unmistakable evidence that the massive assault on our border is the result of their lack of control of their southern border, there is only one explanation. They are benefiting from it. Money that the border jumpers make in the U.S. is being funneled into Mexican banks. That money escapes IRS accountability. It also brings money into the Mexican economy. We should tax those money transfers at a high rate. No more Mexicans banking their money earned in the U.S. so they can return and live for the rest of their lives on money that is worth far more than it does in the U.S. It is money pouring out of the U.S. economy.

Closing the border tells the Mexican government we mean business. All ports of entry, including air and sea passenger transportation should be closed. No more tourists into Mexico, period.

Along with: Suspending ALL immigration from our Southern Border!
Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) gives the President of the United States broad authority to implement immigration restrictions by proclamation. The statute allows the President to suspend the entry of any aliens or of a class of aliens or place restrictions on the entry of a class of aliens temporarily if he or she determines that the entry of such aliens would be detrimental to the U.S. interest.
What the heck is he waiting for!

Has this been covered in the MSM?

Apparently Mexico’s foreign minister dismissed Trump’s demand a couple of days ago:
