President Donald Trump said Saturday “we want to make everything here” as he promoted his “America First” agenda during an appearance in Cleveland, days before the state’s primary election.

Trump spent several hours in Ohio meeting with supporters and participating in a roundtable designed to highlight the benefits of the new Republican tax law. Striking a celebratory tone, Trump listed his poll numbers and recounted the successes of his first year in office. He also looked ahead to his meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.

“We have the time and place all finished,” Trump said, but he wouldn’t predict the outcome of the talks, saying, “we’ll see what happens.”

Trump criticized U.S. immigration policy, saying people entering the U.S. illegally are taking advantage of “catch-and-release” practices and don’t show up for their immigration court dates. He said: “We may have to close up our country to get this straight.”(continued)

We’ve been saying this since forever. Close the borders and do not process ANY visas for work or immigration. If some stupid lib judge comes up with a judgment to start processing, simply dont do it.

I hope he does not close all borders.

But I hope he seals off all commerce between the US and Mexico.

No truck, no ship no goods of any kind to move in either direction.

And no money. Stop illegals from sending money home. Stop all banking between the US and Mexico.

We may not be able to keep people from sneaking across the border in the dark of night, but if we stopped all dealings with Mexico until they stopped the illegals, you can bet that the illegal problem would be cured in less than 10 days.

Actually President Trump would not even need to stop our trade and banking. Just notify Mexico that unless they solve the illegal problem within 10 days we will stop all commerce and banking.

Th effect would be immediate.
