President to Mexico: Group of immigrants had better be stopped
President Donald Trump warned Honduras and Mexico he will retaliate if an alleged caravan of immigrants from the Central American country enters the United States.
The president for several days has appeared fixated on what he claims is a large group of immigrants he contends plans to try to enter the United States illegally. If they do, Trump says he might cut off U.S. aid to Honduras and terminate the North American Free Trade Agreement, which he says has benefited Mexico. But Congress might object to the former, since lawmakers control federal funding.
And he is using the alleged caravan to try to push lawmakers to quickly craft and pass what he on Monday vaguely called border legislation without offering specific policy demands. That is unlikely, since it has been years since major policy legislation passed both the House and Senate without using special rules.

..... These people forget that Trump is the PRESIDENT of the United States .... He isn't making this stuff up .... For Pete's Sake .... He gets the latest information and intelligence from a miriad of assets and operatives that the public and News Agencies do not.
Does this make Mexico a heartless nation now?
How unbiased./s
Why are we giving Honduras aid? We accept their “refugees” and give them government benefits when they are here and then send their country aid for the poor also??
Talk about double dipping! We pay for them here, we pay for them there? And how many other countries south of the border are doing this too?
It should be a law that if you accept aid you keep your poor there and use the aid for them.
Only one place in the world where everything is provided to useless eaters for free to them from hard working tax payers, who get Nothing.

We can set up the press at the border.
They even sell a mobile unit.
Call it what it is. A forward scouting force.
I want one of those hats. Perhaps one of the marchers can pick one up for me.
Monday evening Mexico started busting up the ‘caravan’ and letting some people stay and deporting others.
It was ALL younger males. No babies, no grandmas, no women, no grandpas.
This was PDJT’s PLAN all along. I LOVE how he makes other ‘leaders’ take care of this shiite!
MAGA! :)
If they keep caving in the face of his threats he doesn’t have to make good... but I think the idea is they know he will make good on it and they don’t want that to happen. btw... he’s already put tariffs on countries... that was making good on his threat
Yes, if they succeed it will be a model for a land version of the crappy boats loaded with Africans headed for the EU, and enabled by NGOs.
Many people in Mexico would be happy to profit from human trafficking on a large scale, especially the cartels. We cannot let them get started with an even bigger flood than is already going on.
Presumably to keep them THERE instead of coming HERE. The money probably ends up in some other country’s bank.
Good point on the tariffs.
No, they didn’t. They broke them into smaller groups and those groups will still head to our border.
Yes they would. The media are the ones who made a big deal about it. That was done to put Trump in a dilemma about what he will do in order to hurt his 2020 chances.
He can put troops there, but how do they stop them?
We’re sending aid to Honduras?
WTF?
soros, i’m shocked... hang the POS
I'd like to know how many other countries WORLDWIDE are doing this too.
