If I know my POTUS, it’s not just a “threat”, it’s a promise.

Suspend all immigration indefinitely! However, enforcing laws against illegal immigration would be mandatory. It’s all “actionable”, so just go ahead and do it.

What the heck is he waiting for!

I honestly don't know.

I guess the same reason that Clapper, Brennan, Powers, Jarrett, Podesta, Comey, Lynch, Schiff, Yates, Rosenstein, McCabe, Ohr, Priestap, Strzok, Page, Hillary, and Obama haven't been arrested yet.

Because...…...well...……..uhhhh…...give me a minute, I'll think of something.

The ‘rats are drooling at the thought of the President closing the Border.
Guaranteed they have an entire litany of doomsday narratives at hand about destroying the economy blah blah blah.

But it must be done. Close it. Enforce it with troops.
I’ll forego avocados, mangoes, green onions, etc.

Rush Limbaugh from his Hannity interview on 3/28:

RUSH: I think the president should shut the border. If he shuts the border and builds the wall, there is nobody, Sean, that can beat him in 2020. It remains the issue for the vast majority of freedom-loving, Constitution-loving, American-loving citizens. If it doesn’t happen, the country that we know and love… There’s always gonna be an America, but it’s not gonna remain a constitutional republic as founded if we don’t get a handle on this.

Trump likes and trusts both Rush and Hannity! hope he heard this!

They are benefiting from it.

Of course! Mexico has $11 billion (IIRC) flow into its economy every year. They do not have throw government money at 11 million(+++) people. No schooling housing police, etc.

Send some navel oranges too!

(Reminds me of an old joke attributed to BS Pully-
“I unscrewed my navel the other day and my a$$ fell off!”)

I’ll believe Trump when he actually closes the border but not until then. I’ve heard these empty threats far too often already coming from his lips. Has he let enough illegals in yet?

Yes, that is what illegals hear and act on. Thus, the mass invasion. But for us, for Americans, for the Mexican government, President Trump, like Obama did vis-a-vis Syria and chemical weapons, President Trump has stated explicit action and a deadline. Will he follow-through or become another Obama?

President Trump, did not parse words or use ambiguity when he wrote: 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.

That was If Mexico doesn’t immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States and I will be CLOSING...the Border, or large sections of the Border. And, for when? Mexico, immediately, and Closing the Border, next week.

I am very happy he has finely drawn this line in the sand. Now, will he do it?

“Could hit the economies of both countries......

Well, someone tell me how much $$$$$ we are spending every 24 hours on the invaders who are already here.

Some have been here for years.

California ADMITS that over 61% of the welfare they pay out is going to illegals. Who can possibly know what the real % is?

The welfare, judicial system costs, prison costs, insurance increases due to bad drivers on the roads...and not to mention the diseases they are bringing to the USA that we had eradicated years ago.

I say the money lost with a shutdown is much less.;....

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

I don’t think that would matter much.

Even if it was just shut down for 24 hours the message
would be sent.

President Trump just DO IT!

Exactly. Trump must quit threatening and start doing.

Reagan helped create this problem by giving ammesty without enforcing the border.

Don’t even get me started about the Bushes.

Plenty of blame to go around.

Trump is President because he was going to stop the process of our nation becoming Mexico.

Two years gone (wasted really) and the process hasn’t stopped, hasn’t even slowed, but has significantly accelerated.

Deeds not tweets. Stop the invasion. Why are the BP and troops not firing tear gas and rubber bullets? Why are they only “firing” bus and plane tickets at the illegals - to complete their journeys into our homeland.
