You make sense, but I disagree in part. It depends on how long the border is closed as to affect our GDP. People forget that Trump shut down the entry ports for just ONE weekend and Mexico capitulated to keep asylum seekers on their side.
I believe a full week would not cause a recession. We have many ports for trade and transfer of goods. Since we are Mexico's biggest trading partner, it would be devastating to them if their trucks couldn't enter. Pres. Trump WILL lose 2020 if he doesn't stop the migrant caravans that are coming and building.
As for his change of rhetoric about Mexico and drug cartels and a year warning (WTF?), I think someone stole his balls.
Agree, and he will lose more than the 2020 election. He will lose the country to the invaders. The Dems are pursuing a population replacement strategy. Millions more illegals will be here by November 2020 and the Dems will see that they vote. Once the Left has its hands around the neck of remaining patriotic America, they will start to squeeze and criminalize opposition to their Marxist, open borders, balkanized plans for the remade USA.
