A CNN panel had a pretty pessimistic view of the U.S.-Mexico deal President Trump announced Friday in hopes of ending the migration crisis.

Late Friday, Trump tweeted that threatened U.S. tariffs against Mexico were being "indefinitely suspended" because Mexico had agreed to help slow the flow of migrants heading toward the U.S. border.

But some folks on the liberal news network were not impressed.

Former Republican U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent called the negotiations "bluster" and insisted that Trump never would have gone through with his tariff threat because it would have hurt border states like Texas, where he noted that Democrat Joe Biden was leading Trump in a new poll on the 2020 presidential race.

CNN global affairs analyst Susan Glasser also panned the Trump deal.

"We're all sort of props in this fake game of, you know, 'Let's Stick Up The Neighbors'," she said. ..."

Glasser went on to say Trump "failed completely" to control the border and slammed the "lack of normal policy process" leading up to the deal, calling the whole thing "theater." ..."

"He created this drama on Monday or Tuesday," D'Antonio said, "and I swear they must have locked up the Mexican delegation in the State Department to keep them there for nine or ten hours and then fed them well and they all had a laugh and they let them out and they said, 'Well, the problem is solved.'

"Well, there was no problem the beginning of the week to solve that was extraordinary," he added, "and now we just have this solution that nobody understands and that won't produce what the president actually promised, which was a big, beautiful wall that Mexico would pay for." ..."

"The jobs report was clearly not what anybody wanted."

Weak job numbers? We are in what is basically called full employment. Other then a new business starting up and trying to draw people away from a job they already have who is their to hire? How are you going to have significant new numbers every month?

I actually stopped watching after Desert Storm and haven’t missed it.

[a little elbow grease]

At some point there are fewer and fewer people looking for a job. At this low unemployment rate, I would imagine the country is close to full capacity employment. Little wonder the hiring is down!

"Judy, Judy, Judy" ..... that is exactly what "the smart guys and girls" were saying on tv yesterday on the subject.

Congrats on your wisdom from above the border!

I must ask why we continue to treat CNN like it is a legitimate news organization.

I doubt anyone here does. But they do need to be exposed for the rubbish they spew. Many if not most of us know people who regularly watch these heavily liberal-biased news and talk shows (relatives, work acquaintances, friends, other people we may have conversations with, occasionally or often). Understanding where they are coming from, via these ignorant and dopey sources of information, helps us in our efforts to set them straight, or just to better make our case.

They thought Texas was in play for both Hillary and the Beto-bots. It seems as if you can negate everything say, and then have the truth. Weird.

CNN panel knocks Trump's Mexico deal, suggest it's a distraction from weak US job numbers

This headline, along with the "on-air" comments by their DUMBA$$ panels, is WHY CNN they're so far DOWN in the RATINGS.

They're so deep in the hole ratings-wise that they're piping the sunlight to them.

Never thought I needed a thank you for taking care of my responsibilities...I try to thank those that are front and center in trying to help FR stay afloat....and some for their long-term “avocation” posts.
