Well overdue.

The cost of trade losses wouldn't even come close to what it is costing to keep allowing illegal scumbags to flow into this country. SHUT IT DOWN.

I am of the Isolationist mindset. We can, and should, care for our own first and foremost. The United States could be completely self-sufficient - as we had been for decades until the Federal Bank took over in 1913. So, with all that being said, shut the northern border, southern border, eastern border, and western borders from everyone.

Close it immediately!!

Go for it! It will be a huge shock to a lot of people and will cause much economic damage but that is the only way to get their attention. The long term benefits will outweigh any short term damage.

support many of them. thanks

As a country there is very little that we can not provide for ourselves. While i dont support isolationist policies I do support an America first policy.

What do we need from Mexico? Labor? Produce? We have plenty of both.

America is in the power seat and always has been. We as a country are supporting huge economies with our rampant consumerism.

So shut it down. Find the people here illegially and get them gone.

He'll get nothing but bad press from it. A very bad idea. It will bite him in the ass.

It is a real invasion and needs to be closed, and trespassers need to be shot down.

Push came to shove and this came next. Dems talk a line, but they don't do much about it.

Funny about that. Did you ever notice that most everything the Dems do is aimed at perpetuating the Party, not the Republic?

Cant close the border. To much of our everyday goods come thru
Mexico. Companies would start suffering with in a week.

The Quicker the better. Dmocrats don't want to do anything about controlling the invasion. Tax payers are tired of having taxes raised because of these illegals so Pres Trump should shut it down and use troops where there is no fence to stop illegals. Pres Trump should keep it closed until all illegals return to Mexico or what ever Country they came from before reopening the border.

do it

Anonymous said...

If that is the only solution. Or, put the army there if necessary, do not let anyone in they are playing on our conscience and THAT works. They are planning on that. Use tear gas if necessary, They are not just illegal immigrants, they are law-breakers at the start, then what. Use whatever mean that work in Australia and other countries.

He didn't do it, but if he does, he'll be able to say to Congress, "Don't say I didn't warn you." He KNOWS what he's doing, Congress does not.

Less talk more action. The press is never on his side anyway.Close it!

We have suffered and we are still suffering over doses and death. When will democrats see that this is murder , everyday. Close it now , I hope it's legal to do so.

Dave T: Absolutely need to secure this border and close it if necessary. Irregardless of the economic ramifications, Mexico needs to also be held accountable for enabling this crisis to occur. Mexico is co-conspirator in the matter and they can be replaced with a better alternate trade partner. If not, spineless, gutless liberal clowns will have to find a new breakfast other than "Avocado" toast. My heart goes out to them....NOT.

As far as I can tell Mexicans are trying to reoccupy and lay claim to land that they say "is there's". We fought for it and won. Come fight us for it again.

SHUT DOWN, OR SHUT UP!

How is that much unguarded border going to be "closed"?
It's mostly for show, to get Mexico to take some responsibility and to get the Democrats up off their collective behinds to do something but attack the President and whine about everything and anything he touches.

I say go for it. Here's what a closed border looks like. What can you do to make it safe to open it again? (Hint: Whining doesn't count.)

It's all about the big plan. Healthcare 2020, 1yr wake up call for Mexico....2 topics for his 2020 election platform. After another year of crap healthcare and illegals running the border, stats and analytics will make the dems barf and 4 more years for TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP. Business accumen will make America BETTER! It always takes time. Dems either jump on or get run over!

Like he gets good press now. Give me a break

he should have done it when he declared the emergency, months ago.

Close it and lock it.

Will focus attention here and Mexico on the issue. It appears that Mexico is permitting illegals to enter and transit Mexico on their way to illegally enter the US. That must stop ASAP, and would greatly reduce the current problem.

We need to suspend asylum program on the Southern border entirely. No admittance. Turn back and don't come back. Flaw currently lets them physically enter and stay until their claim is processed. Most never show for the hearings, it appears.

Legal immigrants are more than welcome.

So much tax money goes to these people crossing the border all the while Americans are working more hours just to pay increasing taxes and still cant afford health care or housing.We need to put pressure on lawmakers that this has to stop!

Cut off all of the benefits that they get for heaven sakes.That would solve the problem.

If the border with Mexico is completely closed then we just handed Mexico over to Russia and China. Build the wall to stop illegal entry but leave the legal entry points open,just expand them and search throughly every vehicle coming from Mexico. If Mexico would secure their southern border most of the problem would be solved.

Burgerbits said...

I think 1:18 is right. I think most of the other comments are an emotional reaction without really thinking the problem through.
