What would actually happen if Trump actually closed the border?
CNN Politics ^ | November 29, 2018 | Z. Byron Wolf

If President Donald Trump's Twitter feed is the window to his thoughts, everything he says there should be taken seriously. So the fact that he has now on three occasions over the past month and a half threatened to "close" the US border with Mexico means he is thinking seriously about it.

Border agents temporarily closed one port of entry, in San Diego, over the weekend when frustrated migrants rushed the border. They also shot tear gas to break up the crowd.

we saw what happened when Trump closed one border entry point for 6 hours.

Mexico stepped in and deported 150 immigrants out of Mexico.

No border with the US, and Mexico will get rid of the immigrants.

Liberals stand up!

You need to make a point. I suggest you go to the border and commit suicide. Maybe then someone will pay attention.

A Million Liberal Suicide march couldn’t be ignored.

GO FOR IT!

JUST DO IT!

Close the Border for at least 5 years.

Stop all WELFARE , Snap Cards, BOO - HOO Payments ...etc., for at least 5 years.

Tell Congress “ Do not Disturb the President of the USA.”

Don’t get me wrong, if Trump sees a need to close the border to get their attention, have at it!

But don’t think it will be a picnic here, they now do a LOT of manufacturing and we’ll have a lot of spot shortages...so just be ready for that!

“What would actually happen if Trump actually closed the border?”

Well, for starters, CNN would lie about it.

The closing of the border would hurt the United States. The closing of the border along with stopping of all wire money transfers between the nations would devastate the Mexican economy along with refusing to buy their oil exports and produce. Today we are almost self sufficient in oil and the Mideast will be delighted to make up any shortfall. Oddly if the Mexican oil industry continues on its present path (production is declining rapidly) and ours continues on its path we may well be exporting oil to Mexico in a few short years.

Mexico is holding a “Full House” in this game of poker. Trump is holding a “Royal Flush.”

Mexican truckers would have to pass their load off to U.S. truckers, like it used to be ?
