Trump Threatens to Close Border Next Week If Mexico Doesnt Immediately Stop All Illegal Immigration
by Colby Hall | Mar 29th, 2019, 11:54 am 676
President Donald Trump revealed in a late Friday morning tweet storm that unless Mexico immediately and completely end all illegal immigration into the United States, he plans to close down the border, or large sections of the border, next week.
While Fox News morning show Fox & Friends warned of a Mother of All Caravans gathering in the coming days, illegal immigration appears to have risen back to the top of the list of issues the White House is eager to talk about.

Its not clear what the exact meaning of this presidential fiat means, as Mexico cannot literally be held accountable to ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States southern border or not though Trump is certainly talking about undocumented migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
President Trump took a significant political hit just a few months ago when he effectively shut down the government over the lack of funding he requested for building a border wall. Since then he has declared a national emergency to release his much-desired funds, though practically speaking, that effort has not been effective as it tied up in legislative and legal delays.

(491 posts)If it means shut down all traffic back and forth across the US/Mexico border, the economic harm would be in the tens of billions.
Case in point: sometime like 75% to 80% of all fresh winter vegetables for sale in your supermarket's produce section come from Mexico.
I wouldn't get too attached to the tomatoes in your salad, if Trump shuts the border completely.

(12,586 posts)If you listen to his speeches (or as much as you can without retching) or read his tweets, the common theme is, "Everyone is taking billions of dollars away from us. Every other country (except Russia, of course) is laughing at us. Every president before me has made the worst deals in history. Only I can fix it."
I think his biggest fear is that someone, somewhere knows what a fraud he is. That might explain his over-the-top attacks on the DOJ/FBI and judiciary. Together, they have the ability to reveal the Emperor has no clothes. With Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barr now strategically placed to protect him legally (why else would Barr be refusing to release an unredacted copy of the full Mueller report, plus supporting evidence, to Congress, much less the American people?) IQ45 is feeling emboldened to unleash whatever lesser angels are left at the bottom of the barrel. His attempt to defund the Special Olympics was just testing the water to see how far he could go.

(50,559 posts)Any halfway decent law student could back Trump up against the border fence on this one, on the grounds he's got "unclean little hands" - while he was screaming the loudest about undocumented immigrants, he had quite a few of them on his personal payroll.
I don't know...are immigration law violations high enough of a misdemeanor to get him impeached?

To be perfectly honest, I think he's acting like a terrified child who's backed himself into a corner. The left arm covers his eyes as the right arm flails blindly, hoping to hit something. It would be laughable - if he weren't such a cruel and dangerous child.
