Trump Pivots From Closing Southern Border to Threatening Mexican Auto Tariffs in 1 Year
NBC San Diego ^

Posted on 04/05/2019 6:59:21 AM PDT by Cubs Fan

On Thursday, Trump also threatened tariffs if Mexico doesn't halt the flow of illegal drugs across the border, saying he'd give the country "a one year warning" to comply.

"But if in a year from now drugs continue to pour in we're going to put tariffs on," he said, adding: "I don't play games."

Well, you’d better be wrong or he’s not winning.

The wall will have 8 billion more of construction, by then.

Tell the democrats to get off their traitorous butts and help the President rather than knee capping him... That might help.

While President Trump is being indecisive our country is having a lot of third world trash invading it and Nothing is being done to stop it.

You know it’s bad when to people from China show up on our border.

This does not bode well for our national security.

How many special forces units from enemy countries have successfully penetrated that border.We will rue the day that that border was not thoroughly secured.

Americans will pay with their lives because of this Treason.

This is very disturbing news.
The Congress won’t do anything.
Now the President won’t do anything for a year.
If the influx continues at its present rate —
actually it won’t, it will increase exponentially now.

If not the Congress, and not the President, what’s left? The people? We have been a supine, doormat people for decades.

Possibly, but drag congress into the fray to keep federal judges out of it.

He’s beginning to sound like the mother who keeps threatening the misbehaving child with sanctions that never are implemented.

Just order the Army Corp of Engineers to build the wall and be done with it. Everything else is just useless and detrimental conversation. Definitive action is necessary.

I truly wish that were the case. I do. But, we’re not exactly talking about putting up a privacy fence or white picket fence in the front yard. And while some sections of the wall are being built, thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands will continue to pour over the border, overwhelm our ports of entry and make perilous trips to get here.

Frankly, I’m pissed when I read stories about how the CBP folks rescue migrants from drowning in the rivers. The minute they’re pulled to the US side, they’re given medical treatment, food, water, clothes and then they ask for asylum. Let them drown. Might be a lesson to others that the CBP isn’t going to risk their lives anymore.

Mexicans are reportedly taking action for the first time at their southern border, so I think Trump is giving them a chance.

I think that the cheap labor lobby/interests have gotten to him, via their cronies in Congress, from both parties. We’ve been fighting our own party, the R team, for years now on immigration, amnesty, etc. This is one issue that they will not let go of, will not budge from repeatedly forcing it on the country.

Trump just threw all the Goodwill from the win with the Mueller report right out the window. I could not be more disappointed in Trump. He may go down as the worst president ever as he is in charge while an actual transformation in this country is taking place and he very likely is going to leave us in the hands of a radical leftist and maybe in the middle of a civil war.

Looks like the Open Border types (the Toddlers and Mulvaney) are running the White House now.

Just great.

The people may have to use the convincer on them.
