I don’t get that AT ALL. Please explain to me why the President can’t shut down ALL MIGRATION across our southern Border while still allowing Products to proceed thru customs ports?
It’s not like 18 wheelers and Trains full of produce/materials are swimming across the Rio Grande and sneaking in under the fences through tunnels.
The idea is to cause pain. Stop everything.
Because the overwhelming majority of our trade with Mexico crosses the border by truck or train. Shutting down all cross-border traffic shuts that down as well.

I agree on that. But if that was the only problem then Trump would have dealt with that by now if he was able to. Shutting down the border is, as I understand it, supposed to be a message to Mexico to do more.
