President Trump threatened to order the U.S. military to "close" the southern border with Mexico, issuing a salvo of morning tweets that blasted Democrats, Mexico and other Latin American countries over immigration policy. The president made the comments as a caravan of Central American migrants is trying to reach the United States.
Mr. Trump said leaders in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are doing little to stop the large flow of people into the U.S. "In addition to stopping all payments to these countries, which seem to have almost no control over their population, I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught - and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER,'' he wrote in his tweet.

Islam, sharia law, and civil war come within ten years after that.
Go for it, Mr. Prez!!!!!!
Yep. Thank you Very Much Potus.
The National Guard should already be there, full time, full strength. And not contingent upon anything.
Watch his popularity skyrocket. This looks like one more commie boomerang.
Right-Don’t threaten - DO IT!
Not to mention diseases and most likely rioting in our streets.
Do it! Apparently he has been tweeting this morning. I cancelled Twitter. Don’t like the new format. I’m thankful for FR to keep me up to date!
In fact, there should be a string of permanent military bases along the border.
The a-hole in Hawaii is already prepping his injunction.
If he does have to close the border, what happens to NAFTA (er, USMCA now), daily cross-border otherwise legal work commutes, etc?
Closed is closed, I think.
National Guard?
Bring the DoD. California has proven that the National Guard can be manipulated by the whims of state governments. A National threat should be checked with a Federal response.
An individual or their family coming across can be an example of illegal immigration. 4,000 people attempting to illegal cross the boarder is an invasion!
The President can use regular Army troops to patrol an international border.
and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military
and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER,’’ he wrote in his tweet.

That is about 1/2 of the illegals coming into the US.
The others come in from the West Coast mostly legal
but never leave when their visas are expired.
Cahones not Required!
This organized “caravan” is a planned and controlled hostile invasion of our country. As commander in chief I believe our president has the power and responsibility to unilaterally take part of the military budget and build to wall.
Nobody gives one sh!t about that. Hire Americans.
