This year has witnessed an unprecedented invasion of foreigners across the U.S. Southern border, as caravans of migrants and illegal aliens, mainly from Central America have flooded through Mexico en route to a wide-open American border, and totally understaffed and unprepared Border Patrol.

The numbers have been an absolute nightmare for the United States, blowing past any prior year on record:

On May 31st, President Trump threatened Mexico with massive tariffs on their goods unless they immediately took major actions to stop this invasion.

And just 8 days later, Mexico capitulated, agreeing to a broad swath of measures -- from troops to detentions to holding tens of thousands of asylum-seekers in Mexico while their (mostly dubious) claims were settled.

Now the Trump Administration is punishing the nations from where most of these invaders came for doing next to nothing to prevent or curtail the flood.

Next step: Block money transfers south of the border.

Praying Trump means it when he says millions are to be deported

I think allowing the remittance system to continue is right up there with unfettered IA employment.
I hope he will do something to stop the invasion each and every day. We are losing the nation.

What is it with some of you??

NOTHING has been done yet.

They are POURING into our country. Have been for the past 2.5 years.

I LOVE Trump but he was VERY SLOW to act on this. WAY too slow. Incredibly slow.

Now will come a million excuses why.

At least he’s getting rocking and rolling now.

But NO, we haven’t been “winning” at the border so why would you “get tired” of winning when there hasn’t been any with illegals?

Yup because between the three countries that illegals are coming from mostly right now, it’s close to 10 BILLION a year in remittances

If any type of crackdown is initiated, they’ll start walking back home. Georgia put in place tougher immigration rules a few years back, lots of them packed their crap and left. If I’m not mistaken, Georgia has actually had a net loss in illegal population. Interesting because at one time, it was getting more illegals than Arizona.

Everything is being done in consideration of impeachment; what actions would trigger a House impeachment proceeding.

Fire someone? Obstruction of Justice. Impeachment.
Spend money improperly? Impeachment.
Military action short of war? Impeachment.
Avoid a (over-reaching) court decision? Impeachment.
