If so, other than the fact that you reflexively oppose everything that Trump says, do you have a solution? It's thousands and thousands of miles.
Obviously, there's a compelling, non-terror reason to prioritize the southern border. I don't know that huge numbers of people come across the northern border, and put a massive drain on our infrastructure and economy

Make the southern border impenetrable, then the migration path moves.
Perhaps if the "great negotiator" actually had a plan he could get something thru, he couldn't do it in 2 years when the Trumplicans held all the cards. But in order to negotiate you need to be willing to compromise and he can't conceive that not getting 100% can still be a win.
And then to really cure the problem he tweets, does he really think that these countries can tell their citizens they can't leave? Does Trump think he or his government can tell you that you can't leave here?
Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador are doing nothing for the United States but taking our money. Word is that a new Caravan is forming in Honduras and they are doing nothing about it. We will be cutting off all aid to these 3 countries - taking advantage of U.S. for years! [Twitter for iPhone]
