In the last week, President Donald Trump has said he may soon shutter all ports of entry into the United States from Mexico and announced plans to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to a trio of Central American nations that he believes are not doing enough to curb immigration from their countries to America.
Appearing on CNN's State of the Union, Mulvaney was asked by host Jake Tapper if the White House was worried about the economic impact that shutting down ports of entry would have, as it would immediately halt the import and export of billions of dollars in legal products. Mulvaney briefly touched on the border closing question during an appearance on ABC's This Week, where he told host Jonathan Karl that it would take"Something drastic" for Trump to back off from his plan to close the border.Back on CNN, Tapper moved on to the question of the Trump administration's decision to cut more than half a billion dollars in U.S.
"There's a lot of good ways to help solve this problem. Congress could do it, but they're not going to. Mexico could help us do it. They need to do a little bit more. Honduras could do more. Nicaragua could do more. El Salvador could do more, and if we're going to give these countries hundreds of millions of dollars, we would like them to do more," said Mulvaney.
During his appearances, Mulvaney repeatedly pointed to statements made in recent days by former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. In interviews, Johnson agreed that the level of apprehensions at the border is significantly higher than he saw during his four years in the position under President Obama.
Something like a rational thought.
He Won’t. Needs a Distraction.
How about a law from Congress? If only TurtleMan had the guts.
He's bullshitting and if it's that easy to close the border, why do you need a wall?
