Mexico's top immigration official said Monday the country will not order the militarization of the border with Guatemala as caravans of residents from Central American countries make their way north.
Interior Secretary Olga Sánchez Cordero said Mexico will regulate and provide security to migrants from Central America, El Universal newspaper reported.
She added that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's government is "not repressive" and won't militarize its southern border "under any circumstances."
Sánchez Cordero's comments follow López Obrador's vow to respond with "peace and love" to U.S. threats to close the U.S.-Mexico border.
President Trump vowed in recent days to shut down the southern border -- the world's busiest commercial frontier --

I was evidently mistaken that the President could take extraordinary action in the face of clear and present danger to the nation including outright invasion. It appears he is in fact powerless.

HIT MEXICO WHERE IT HURTS MOST!!!
No need to shut the border down. Just “reassign” officers from the Ports of entry to the drug smuggling and human trafficking routes. The days long wait to cross the border from Mexico due to understaffing will be spectacular.
Just shut down all wires, ACHs and Western Union transfers into Mexico indefinitely. they’ll stop the caravans in 24 hours
Shut it down.
ALL of it!!!
Aside from the intimidation value such a slap in the face of Mexico’s pres has it frees some border-and-customs agents who would normally be stopping traffic at the border stations, asking for visas, green cards, etc, having dogs sniff for drugs, check luggage for contraband and stuff like that-they could be deployed on the border in the areas where there are lots of illegal crossings to apprehend mojados instead-every little bit helps...
And Obrador will not look good to the people who put him ion office if he loses face-Latin culture does not respect weak leaders.
“My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw illegal immigration forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”
GMTA, sir...
We should tell Mexico we will seize a one kilometer wide strip of land along the border as a security zone and send in the army. Then negotiate terms to return it.
That's green fecal matter.
close the border and stop all welfare payments to mexco.
Amen.
Then I'll be reduced to drinking bourbon, ouzo, Irish whiskey and craft beer. On the bright side, maybe it will toughen me up facing such hardships.
Mr. President, shut that border down!
Tax remittances and deport all illegal Mexicans first. Then send the Marines into northern Mexico to secure a buffer zone.
Let them eat avocados!
