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.
I agree that hitting the remittances would prove to be a very effective tool against illegal aliens and their home countries.
Throw soros and his son in jail - the money comes from them. Same for the democrat mob that orchestrated this.
One half of the country supports the invasion, considers the invaders to be their political allies and wants the President to fail so that the invasion and overthrow of the government can be made complete.
One half of the country does not believe in this country as a sovereign entity. One half.
Trump is not a dictator and he has the support of only one half of the country. The other half wants him deposed...or worse...immediately.
The nation has come apart and this could be the blow that destroys it.
In Mexico, authorities have failed to stop the massive caravan.
She made a mistake. She was supposed to write... Mexican authorities and police officers have assisted the massive caravan and hope that it’s journey to the US border is smooth and hassle free.
Fixed.
AND
50%A 100% tariff on all products from their country.................
AND
No legal visas or work permits issued until all these people are sent back home................
at best each illegal immigrant is costing the taxpayer approximately $10,000 per year. multiply that by 22 million and rising the number is staggering.It is close to $220,000,000,000! I believe it is higher but regardless this needs to end now!
well said
The last number I saw was the US spends 134 bill a year in services to illegals. 21 bill of that is Calif.
Hungary and Italy add to your list.

Wasn’t that amount based on the old 11 million illegals are all we have in the country phrase? Double that and we are getting closer to the actual number.
Sweet. I was thinking to myself, there must be some non-lethal tools the military has in its arsenal to alter the mindsets of large crowds.
I would even consider disabling their vehicles--leave them just far enough into the deserts where they're inclined to head south, rather than north.
You funny.
“I would call in the military and I would seal off the border.”
“I will send them 20 across the Mexican border to set up a buffer zone until the Mexican government controls/detains/sends back these invaders.”
That ought to get them excited “Gringos on OUR land!” - Now you know how we feel.
don’t know I read it on along from here about month ago. a ll I remember.
let’s get a caravan ready too end 5,000 to mexico
Some podunk judge is already being hunted to stop it and force the admin to give the money.
