Coronavirus Crisis: Trump Extends Closure of U.S. Borders to Migration
Breitbart ^ | 20 April 20 | John Binder

President Trump is extending the closure of the United States’ northern and southern borders to migration and non-essential travel, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Monday.

A month ago, Trump administration officials announced that the U.S. would be closing off its southern and northern borders for all non-essential travel to stop the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.

For an additional 30 days, the Trump administration will keep the closures in place. Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf said in a statement:

In close collaboration, the US, Mexico, and Canada have each agreed to extend restrictions on non-essential travel across their shared borders for 30 additional days. As President Trump stated last week, border control, travel restrictions and other limitations remain critical to slowing the spread and allowing the phased opening of the country.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) order has allowed the U.S. to suspend entry at its land borders to foreign nationals who have no proper travel documentation, cannot verify their identity, or have no medical documentation. These foreign nationals are being immediately deported.

Earlier this month, federal immigration officials revealed that the CDC order gave Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents the ability to swiftly deport nearly 400 migrant children in a couple of weeks.

How can he declare this to be "non-essential travel"? What a heartless man.

Our borders should NEVER be open to migration.

I think Trumps plan is to force the democrats to demand a “reopening”

These town mayors acting like Julius Caesar need to be brought to heel. Make their own people do it.
