    Wow, Trump won! Seemed like an easy victory while even republican lawmakers were ready to dissent.

    Looks like the US is learning that it can literally strong arm another nation into submission using economic means. I wish we did that to Russia when it was invading Crimea. Mexico’s economy is just a little smaller than Russian.

    If it seems fast, it's because it was done before Trump took credit for it.

    In addition, the Migrant Protection Protocols already face legal challenges by immigrant rights groups who say they violate the migrants’ right to lawyers. A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from implementing the plan, but an appeals court later said it could move forward while the legal challenge proceeds.

    Ms. Sanchez also told Ms. Nielsen that the Mexican government’s new national guard, which had been created just a month earlier to combat drugs and crime, would be redirected to the border with Guatemala, the entry point for most of the Central American migrants.

    At the time, Ms. Nielsen and the other American negotiators referred to the Mexican promise as the “third border” plan because the Mexicans proposed creating a line of troops around the southern part of their country to keep migrants from moving north.

    Mexicans had begun to follow the plan, but not quickly enough for the Trump administration, which said that only about 1,000 Mexican national guard troops were in place by May.

    It's just like a Trump TV show. The script was written a long time ago, but it's just now on TV.

    Doesn't seem to be working so he will probably do a rerun soon.

    The bottom line is that liberals do not want to see an end to the migrant invasion and will do or say whatever it takes to rie trumps hands

    As Tim Martin said, "You don't get anywhere being soft".

    trump's tariffs should be based on the number of border crossers, not the MX recent promise to be good this time. If the number of border crossers is too high this month Trump should impose the tariff. These non MX border crossers are not hard to find.
