1) Give Mexico a one-year warning
2) Then impose additional tariffs
3) Then close the border
Did he double-dog dare them?
A more strongly worded letter?
One year is up right when 2020 election season goes into full swing. I love it!
Why is he giving them a year? Close the fing border now.
PLEASE.
That’s it, Trump. Give Mexico “double-secret probation”. Sheesh.
If there was ever a place on Earth that was screaming for us to enforce a no-fly zone, and use selected drone strikes, it’s Mexico. The haciendas of cartel leaders should all be hit in a Coordinated Time on target attack. At 9:55 some morning, 10 or 12 headquarters compounds of each major cartel should be hit with a devastating strike. A load of 2,000 Pounders on each one.
At the same moment, a company of Marines should be marching into the headquarters of every banks that has laundered their money.
But of course, that’ll never happen. Our intelligence agencies have a long and glorious background of working with drug cartels. It’s a Wonderful source I’ve been visible money for black budgets. It’s a good source to find nefarious characters when you need to blow JFK’s head off, or launch a coup, or smuggle guns to the contras. So the CIA really has no big problem with drug cartels.
The CIA was eyeballs deep in the original French Connection. They were deeply involved in the Golden Triangle and actually flew dope smuggling aircraft during Vietnam. They were big in the beginning of the cocaine trade. Heroin production and smuggling has exploded since they took control of Afghanistan.
The CIA has been deeply historically involved with the international banking business.
CIA is deeply involved in the drug business. Ergo, nothing will happen.,
Our government is more concerned about who’s president of Venezuela than who’s crossing our border from Mexico. We’ll be invading Venezuela before we do anything to secure our border with Mexico. It’s called neocon priorities. Trump has surrounded himself with neocons like Bolton and Pompeo. Ever hear these “national security hawks” talk about security at our own borders? I don’t. They’re too busy with Venezuela, Eastern Europe and Iran
While he’s at it Trump should read the riot act to the China about fentanyl !
Screw it. Just send in the Rangers and they can take down the narco bastards in a week. Hell, they know where they are.
A one year warning is stupid..so basically Mexico can keep sending thousands of illegals into this country and they have ONE year to make it stop, they wont, meantime millions will be pouring into this country..why not impose the tariffs now I dont get it
I’ve listened 3 times and do not hear 1 word on closing the border so what gives???
No more delays-please
Just BUILD THE WALL
It’s not just about the drugs.
This is unacceptable.
Disappointed in him on this.
Hey way to go! The US cannot not control its own side of the border, while the Mexican drug cartels control every inch of the Mexican side - and, by the now impending default, the US side as well! Hey way to go!
4) Forget the wall and put down a 30’ mine field in all areas that don’t have a wall. A lot cheaper, and I will bet the illegal traffic flow will be almost zero.
Wonder why the secret forces of Israel don’t do more against the cartels? Guess drugs are not as much a problem there. But as a matter of principle, would be helpful if they would “assist” in some way,,not murder, of course.
If there is another year of virtually unchecked mass invasion, how much of anything else going to matter? The Dems and their fellow travelers are racing hundreds of thousands across the border every month. These illegals will be dispersed to key states and they will vote in 2020.
At this point we should just tear down the wall and say were sorry/s
