U.S. authorities closed an international border bridge in El Paso, Texas, early Monday in response to Central American and Cuban migrants protesting on the Mexican side of the border.

The protesters in Ciudad Juárez were chanting "vamos a cruzar" — "we are going to cross" — before Customs and Border Protection officials closed the bridge about 2 a.m., reported CNN.

Why don’t they close all the bridges on a regular basis - like every time a mob shows up? If it’s this easy, just do it.

We don’t arm our soldiers in other wars with rubber bullets.

And to the writer, THEY ARE NOT MIGRANTS!!!

Come on President Trump. Deport all of them in detention centers. Shove them back to Mexico. Do it today. Screw all this asylum BS.

Close the border to all traffic coming. Do it now. Do it for 6 months minimum. Do it.

Agree. I thought there was a court decision saying that they could stay in Mexico while awaiting processing....so why are they still in the “concentration camps”? I would have buses lined up ready to drive them all back to their home country border. Just load ‘em on up and ship ‘em on out.....a service never offered to the occupants of the real concentration camps.

They pretend that the reason to keep the border open is the many who cross it everyday to work here. No Americans live in Mexico and come here to work. Close it and let them figure it out.

All this happening is thanks to the RATS supporting them and not the American citizens.

We need The List for Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement left over from the ONE TIME AMNESTY of 1987.

The list goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population)
7) demonstrate English proficiency to acquire citizenship and pass civics test.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport.

Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.

Tough toenails for those US companies. Tough toenails for those Mexicans. Turn the border into the DMZ of North America. Military patrols. Razor wire, cameras, the works.

Nothing comes in. Nothing goes out.

There is going to have to be a very bloody civil war before that list can be implemented.

Planned with the looney AOC arrival...nothing with these asses is spontaneous! Let me give you all the warning of what is going to start taking place with the fake Mexican O'Rourke , AOC and the other liberal witches spewing their vomit 🤢 at the border.... all the cartel needed was voices from DC ( like antifa) to give them the ok to start killing our PP...WHAT AOC AND HER STUPID Entourage did was fuel the cartels!! KEEP AN EYE open for the first casualty PP along the border! IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!!!

Politicians have been regurgitating that for as long as I can remember. All talk. Just political BS.

Shut down the border for 6 months, then the politicians might be motivated to change the laws.

No more dumb, dishonest liberal talking points.

“All this happening is thanks to the RATS supporting them and not the American citizens.”

The Rats have, literally 10s of millions - many 10s of millions - of American citizens supporting them in this. We are going to have to deal with the 10s of millions of Americans that are behind the Rats, before we can defeat them.
