Trump on Friday threatened to close the U.S-Mexico border next week if Mexico does not stop undocumented immigrants from coming into the United States

Still, the Trump administration in recent days has ratcheted up its argument that illegal immigration is at crisis levels, and the president himself has described the issue in increasingly personal terms.

Kevin McAleenan, the commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, on Wednesday claimed the situation at the southern border is at “the breaking point” and his agency is “reluctantly” releasing migrants because of overcrowding at detention facilities. "The DEMOCRATS have given us the weakest immigration laws anywhere in the World. Mexico has the strongest, & they make more than $100 Billion a year on the U.S. Therefore, CONGRESS MUST CHANGE OUR WEAK IMMIGRATION LAWS NOW, & Mexico must stop illegals from entering the U.S." Trump also tweeted on Friday.

Deport Trump

Is realDonaldTrump 5 years old at the playground...

Mistake. You better seek advice.....this hurts America not helps.

California Arizona and Texas might have something to say about that

What we here is blablabla

Nobody plays games with Trump because he is a cheater and a liar.

Knock...knock... TheReckoningIsComing

He’s a sick a**hole. Just like his trade war with China he’s only hurting America.

Trump has no earthly idea what he is talking about....besides forming his policy on a bed of lies, he doesn’t know what he is talking about.

If America is overwhelmed what is the impact on Mexico?

He Trump being the CEO of the American corporation has breached the contract the government has with we the people. That contract being the Constitution reads protect the citizens and territorial sovernty of the u.s. we pay for this.

Zotopek Only thing he's playing games with is his hair.

Yet he leaves Alaska open to Russia & Hawaii open to No. Korea & China & Puerto Rico open to everybody else. trump has sold pieces of U.S. to his bosses & investors & buyers. We could call this white nation the 'country of the apes' except Charlton Heston would be insulted!

DJT clearly not like the Vagina that was our last POTUS !

Whatever. Just do it.

Go ahead and make farming even more difficult. It's not as if we're seeing a record number of farmers/ranchers filing for bankruptcy....oops, wait a minute....

Trump threatened to.... Trump threatened to... Trump threatened to... A President who needs to threaten, lie, create fictional crisis’s to achieve his agenda is not a leader, he is a mis-leader. Unpresidential. Unfit. UnUSA.

This time, not playing games.

What about controlling these immigrants

Gangster style

Here's an idea. How about you appoint unqualified people to important government positions. Then let them dismantle education, infrastructure, healthcare, environmental protections and fair elections. 👍

You're a migrant you nit. Only native American and Mexican are truly Native 🙄

True negotiators don't intimidate to get their way...they negotiate...something very foreign to Trump. He reacts with something outrageous...with no plans to follow through or even know what is to follow. He never thinks beyond the current crisis. Never thinks about what's next.

Blah blah blah lie blah blah blah

Man of his word👏👏👏 thank you, Mr President!! realDonaldTrump

The Trump presidency is like a chimpanzee with a blow torch in a room full of dynamite you just never know when is going to blow, but you do know it is going to blow.

President Trump loves playing games, his foreign policy is like playing Risk... roll the dice, pick a card, place your little tanks... except he probably doesn’t have a goal card...

Like Mexico is some petulant child that won’t take a nap? Or look we can’t stop all illegal immigration so you should do it so I look great?

Which of rhe 3 Mexico's would that be exactly? Perhaps FoxNews can shed some light?

Good! And he’s NOT PLAYING! That’s a GOOD THING!

The hords of illegals must stop bum rushing our boarder. Just because the country you live in is not to your liking stay and make it better. We did, revolutionary and civil wars. We the citizen of the United states fought for it.

Why he messing with the TJ trips ?

Instead of making a big deal about our Southern neighbors coming up into the U.S. Trump you should be worried about the Russian entering into South America, or is that part of your plan working with Russian for buying you out.

And he's going to drain the Pacific to combat the China trade war. He's not kidding. You better watch out.

Don't worry, he will achieve the goal of 'total fubar-ness' for the Country.

Creating yet another unnecessary problem, almost 6 B in trade stopped. Does he think asylum seekers read Twitter and will say ohhh he’s not playing games this time.. The cut funding will only increase the numbers as their countries become more unstable and dangerous. Intentional?

Very soon he's going to shut down the Canadian and US border....I might as well go to China they already got a great wall there already built all I have to do is learn Chinese

If you don’t stop it right now, I’m gonna turn this whole continent around.

FixesItself

I think he has already closed it.

Cruel lying man's lies insufficient to convince people he's not cruel or lying. So he threatens to shutdown border. GOP refuses to own or disavow the latest self-inflicted blunder, but remain confident that he's their man for victory 2020. More takes at 11.

Trump's whole existence is actually a game. It is never to do anything that actually helps America...it's for him to win and to degrade others. Question is, why and why do his supporters enjoy this so much?

Well we sit and watch.

short the stock market... Trump shutdown the government Donald Trump's going to shut down the border between the US and Mexico which will have a economic deterioration of our GDP again. he already pissed off opec that's why gas is up And Trump added tariffs (taxes)

Tough talk from the wannabe dictator who walked back cuts from Special Olympics within days. More bullying doomed to failure!

Playing games is precisely what's he's doing. His whole presidency has been one big game. And he cheats.

Now he’s going to shut the border to all 3 Mexico’s. You see what you made him do Main Mexico?!

I'm not an immigration expert, but I'll bet there are undocumented people coming in from the Canadian border. Are we closing the northern border?

Cunny_Neck_Says_What

trump will wind up paying Mexico? lol What does he expect these countries leaders to do? Shoot their populous?

Stop the wire transfers by expats back to those countries, too. Get your sh*+ together. Those countries and their corrupt justice systems and governments need to be handles firmly. Build the wall. Make Dems own their immigration system nightmare. Lawful immigration only⚖🇺🇸

Because when realDonaldTrump plays games, he cheats. He can only play golf on courses he owns, every other club would ban him for life.

Seems Fascilly responsible .

If we can just shut down the border why do we need a wall

Trump only likes undocumented immigrants who work at his golf clubs

Even Democrats are having to admit that we have an illegal immigration crisis

I want to see him to do this, he'll wish he never did.
