President Trump announced Monday morning he is starting the process to cut or reduce aid to Central American countries that haven't stopped a caravan of illegal aliens. Over the past few days, the caravan has grown from 4,000 people to 7,000.
Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2018
Over the weekend, President Trump again threatened to seal off the border if Central American countries or Mexico couldn't control the flow north.
"I would call in the military and I would seal off the border. I would close up the border. If that happens, and if that continues to move forward, the caravan we’re talking about," Trump said. "I think some bad people started that caravan.. you have some very, very bad people in the caravan. But I will seal off the border before they come into this country."
In Mexico, authorities have failed to stop the massive caravan. Stretching one mile long, it has broken through borders, police lines and barricades. When the cameras are off, caravan members ditch the walking to grab rides on train and trucks.
During an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Friday, Mexican Ambassador Geronimo Gutierrez again argued Mexican immigration policy does not encourage illegal behavior and should be orderly.
President Trump is headed to Texas Monday afternoon and will campaign for Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) in Houston. There's no doubt the caravan will be a heavy topic during his remarks.

Perhaps we should perfect this in the USA first.
No, the invasion is a higher priority. So long as the current corruption in hondouras perssits an intractable problem with invading hordes will persist.
The invaders will vote left wing. The country will be no more.
American black murderers do not vote and are politically benign
Skip that. Just give each 'invader' a MAGA hat, a US Flag, and a TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT sign. They'll all be dead within two days.
I too have been here since before 2008.. (2003, to be exact)..
I meant no hard feelings, and I am not going to throw mud on the wall.

The Latin Invading Expeditionary Force has now reached the size of a military DIVISION. The Mexicans are apparently giving them maps of Texas. It is said that enough Mexicans are joining them as they march north that they will number FIVE MILITARY DIVISIONS by the time they reach America! Can they be stopped??
I would call in the military and I would seal off the border. I would close up the border.
If the President plans on sending in active duty military (such as the 82nd Airborne) I would expect a nation wide address first.
So I am waiting word that the President has asked for network time (although in this day and age it is not really necessary other than to show how serious he is).
The military (even with plans in place) still need time to mobilize and move so I would expect anywhere between now and about seven day for an announcement if he is in fact going to put the Army on the border.

As always - this is just an opinion based on nothing (hey I should be a network “journalist” with those qualifications, anyway I put this out there for discussion purposes only.
