Can’t close hundreds miles open border without wall or 100000 troops. Can close ports of entry then legitimate workers medicine buyers dental and doctor patients blocked. Propangada and bluster will not stop illegal crossings
I think 100,000 rednecks will step up.
I’m getting mighty sick and tired of “can’t”. We don’t lack the ability. We can close the border tighter than a drum in 24 hours. What is lacking is the will to do so.
Sorry, but your Mexican dental procedure will have to wait.

“Can close ports of entry then legitimate workers medicine buyers dental and doctor patients blocked.”
I completely disagree! The bulk of the illegal entries are at ports of entry where they show up and claim to be fugitives from terrorism in their “home countries.” The numbers that might go to the desert areas to cross are miniscule by comparison. As fro as the “legitimate workers,” screw them! They will end up being the “tools” Trump uses to get Mexico to start helping because Mexico “runs” on American dollars. A couple of weeks of closure will bring about the needed change, along with measures to further constrict Mexico’s crapola economy. Trump should call up Amway or whatever their new Marxist president calls himself and say, “pal, it’s only going to get worse unless you get onboard and use your resources to stop the people from coming to our border!”
US citizens won’t be as harmed as the Canadians.
Whenever I go down for dental work, there are at least twice as many Canadians from a country with perfect socialized medicine in line ahead of me at the Mexican dentista’s office.
Stopping the trade train will make Mexico think again about helping the illegal invaders reach our border...and a declaration of a total shutdown also empowers the border patrol and others to not play as nice as the “business as usual” FUBAR.
But it does hurt Mexico. That’s the most important thing. They are running a soft war on the United States by flooding us with their undesirables.
Closing the border will put pressure on Mexico and our Congress to act to stop this train wreck. Mexico does not allow illegal immigration into their country, but for years has allowed illegals to travel through to ours.
Due to the court rulings, Congress needs to rewrite our laws on asylum. Congress also needs to rewrite our other immigration laws so that they can actually be enforced.
I would rather see this country shut down all immigration than close the border; get out of treaties that obligate us to accept anyone on the door step for asylum. Just stop allowing any immigration for any reason until we get this under control. Finish those in the process but shut it down.
The border is out of control, our immigration laws are out of control. This has been decades in the making but we have to regain control.
