    I thought Trump's new deal with Mexico was gonna solve it? That's great news! No need to spend pointless money on a wall since Mexico is going to stop the flow. Thanks Mexico!

    Actually, if you've been following the news the past few months, Mexico has been continuously taking new steps to stem migration in their country. In fact it was last February that Mexico's congress voted on deploying their national guard to patrol their borders. As for the specifics in the agreement with US officials, they still haven't been carried out, but Mexican officials have been planning these actions for months now

    Nothing concrete has happened until this week when the Mexicans begged for a meeting with Trump.

    Probably because they wanted to call him an idiot and to back off so they can do what they are planning.

    "according to officials from both countries who are familiar with the negotiations" .. but who are never named.

    So actually its another case of fake news being served up on tissue paper thin platter of "unnamed sources" because nothing in any of those paragraphs is verified. If NYGrimes was truly dedicated to the craft of journalism they would use FOIA to obtain communications logs and then we would have a foundation to build the facts on. But their goal isn't to inform its to manipulate and the type of people they aim to control are perfectly fine with "unnamed sources" claiming anything and everything anti-Trump.

    It was completely predictable that radical Democrats would find any way imaginable to diminish this Trump accomplishment -- but -- even assuming that it may be true, one question, please -- WHY did it take the stinking, corrupt Mexican government so long to agree to cooperate if it was already agreed to months ago?

    There may have been 'discussions' at one level or another, but it wasn't until Trump put their 'nuts in the pliers' that they woke wide-up and really FOCUSED on the issue.... But Democrats would rather drink carbolic acid than admit that Donald Trump had ever done anything right!

    Go ahead, you slimy, devious Democrats -- enjoy your cheap avocados again -- courtesy of DONALD TRUMP! :roflol: But remember -- the Mexicans aren't "out of the woods yet": https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-very-profitable-tariffs-mexico-deal-breakthrough

    Well I guess that puts you in their target audience then. But do you recognize that there are those of us that expect journalists to build stories on actual evidence? Its just a personal preference.

    Like when they told us his claims that there was no longer a threat from a nuclear North Korea, were bullshit?

    Agreeing to then never following thru without repercussions is Obama style ignorant policy.

    You guys are a stitch. Even when Trump's lies are stuffed in your face you still cheer him on. Amazing. This latest "Trump Triumph" is reminiscent of The Orange man's claim to have secured an agreement for NATO nations to pay their "fair share."

    Sounds peachy doesn't it? Well, yes, it does and it was even peachier when Obama signed the deal in 2016. See why people laugh at you and point you out to their kids?

    Quite a story and scary as hell. It used to be hundreds at the gate, then thousands, then tens of thousands and now, by god, it's millions. What's next, the entire population of South America and Antarctica? Oh wait, I know. It will be whatever Trump tells you the number will be.

    Wow! Disease ridden. Would those be the ones carrying small pox? I mean, Trump and his legions said it was.

    Perhaps there are actions that have been taken now that are more concrete than what was previously planned, but if I am being completely honest with you, I am unsure what actions you are referring to specifically. Would you be able to elaborate?

    So what actions has Mexico taken that have been successful, in your opinion?

    It's so cute how Lefties are now calling Trump supporters commies when you listen to all the top Democrats and they all try to out do each other in moving left. Heck, you even have a top Democrat who had a commie Chinese spy working for her for 20 years and look how many top Democrats and RINOs are on China's payroll. I think they whine about Russia because Putin won't pay them what they want.
