Mexico is doing NOTHING to help stop the flow of illegal immigrants to our Country. They are all talk and no action. Likewise, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have taken our money for years, and do Nothing. The Dems don’t care, such BAD laws. May close the Southern Border!

At this point, the CBP is so overwhelmed, they’re just releasing people into the country. It’s insane.
Via The Hill:
President Trump on Thursday renewed his threat to close off the southern border in a tweet also attacking Mexico and Democrats over immigration.
Trump said Mexico is “all talk and no action” in its efforts to stop a flow of migrants into the U.S. and said Democrats “don’t care.”
“Likewise, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have taken our money for years, and do Nothing,” he added. “The Dems don’t care, such BAD laws. May close the Southern Border!”
The tweet comes after Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said Wednesday that immigration enforcement has reached a “breaking point.”
“For the first time in over a decade, CBP is performing direct releases of migrants when [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] is unable to provide bed space to relieve overcrowding,” McAleenan said.
