President Trump threatened to shut down the entire southern border with Mexico if his demands for more funding to build a wall aren’t met.

Trump tweeted Friday that if “Obstructionist Democrats” don’t give him the $5 billion he is asking for to build his proposed border wall he will “close the Southern Border entirely.”

“We will be forced to close the Southern Border entirely if the Obstructionist Democrats do not give us the money to finish the Wall & also change the ridiculous immigration laws that our Country is saddled with,” the president tweeted. “Hard to believe there was a Congress & President who would approve!”

The government has been partially shut down since last week over an impasse between Trump and Democrats over funding for a proposed security wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The government shutdown, which has kept hundreds of thousands of federal employees out of work, is expected to extend into the new year. …

Close the borders with Mexico..POTUS, Trump...I am sick of hearing about murdered and wounded American police. The blood of these american heroes runs down the hands and fingers of Schumer, Pelosi and every single Democrat!!!

Trump...force McConnell to put the House CR with the Border Wall building funds included to a Senate up or down vote. Get these useless Democrat Senators to get on the record against building the Border Wall!!! Do it!!!

You know that some pissant judge that’s already been shopped by Democrats and ACLU types will put an indefinite stay on such an order.

By EO Trump should stop all retroactive pay to the furloughed federal employees.

He should consider a closing fully and do it not only for funding the Wall, but also until there is a change in our present immigration laws. In light of the actions and inactions of Congress, and the Judiciary there is no other means available to the President for curbing the invasion.

It is clear from the record it is not only an economic invasion but one of diseases and terrorists as well. At the moment, our government has absurdly forced itself to facilitate the invasion by releasing invaders in locations well within our country.

What is means is responsible elected officials should be staning by ready to do their jobs, not on some island soaking up the sun, and Pat Roberts, being from Kansas, where we are used to hard work, is on the job.

God bless you, President Trump!

And a deadline to no more funding until needed legislative reform to immigration, including enabling the effective deportation of the 10s of millions now here illegally.

Thank you.

Trump should close the entire border before they all get back from visiting grandma back in Mexico.

I’m in Texas. Our little podunk county jail turned about 50 illegals over to ICE the day after Christmas. This is about normal every few days. If our little nothing LE force can find several a day just within the county boundaries, surely ICE and other LEOs can across the nation. Imagine how many aren’t caught.

I don’t know what ICE does with them but guessing they’re released. Rinse and repeat.

He should have already done that. He should have done it when Republicans had the House. They are p*ssies, and they will roll over and beg for mercy far faster than will Democrats.

I hate that this is so, but that is what I have been seeing.

In 2013, all 54 Senate Democrats voted for $46 BILLION in border security, including building or repairing 700 miles of border fencing that wasn’t working. Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, and even Elizabeth Warren all voted Yes. What has changed? Oh, everything since Trump – so hypocritical of them!
