President Trump has instructed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to deny reported caravans of asylum-seekers entry into the United States. A caravan of over 1,000 mostly Central American refugees attempted to travel by foot, bus and train to the southern U.S. border in hopes of being granted asylum. After President Trump threatened to cut off foreign aid to “Honduras and the countries that allow this to happen,” Mexico agreed to disband the group.
Despite their efforts, a group of around 50 asylum seekers have made it to the US border, seeking entry at the Tijuana crossing into California.
“Despite the Democrat inspired laws on Sanctuary Cities and the Border being so bad and one sided, I have instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security not to let these large Caravans of people into our Country. It is a disgrace. We are the only Country in the World so naive! WALL,” tweeted Trump.

Trump then added in a new tweet that the United States may require Mexico to take active measures to stop groups of migrants from Central America and elsewhere - which may be a “condition of the new NAFTA Agreement.”
Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrumpMexico, whose laws on immigration are very tough, must stop people from going through Mexico and into the U.S. We may make this a condition of the new NAFTA Agreement. Our Country cannot accept what is happening! Also, we must get Wall funding fast.
Three weeks ago, we reported that the Trump administration is said to be pushing for a new NAFTA deal with Mexico and Canada - though discussions were not advanced enough to be announced at the Summit of the Americas held on April 13-14 as originally hoped for.
Senior trade officials from the three nations will meet again in Washington over the next few weeks for an “intensified push” for a new agreement.
Talks will pick up on Tuesday, after cabinet-level members vowed on Friday to keep up the momentum following consultations with their technical teams over the weekend. Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said last week that after seven rounds of talks in as many months, rotating between the three countries, the three sides have entered a concentrated phase where “my negotiating team is practically living in Washington.” -Bloomberg
Trump, who recently ordered a National Guard deployment at the U.S.-Mexico border, has called on Mexico to take a tougher stance on immigration.
These people have been “schooled” on what to say so they can get in here and collect welfare.
Send them BACK to where they came from . We do NOT need more “sponges” infesting OUR country, and those FREAKS that are “supposedly” Americans waiting to “welcome” the invaders that were on the Lame stream media “news shows”need to go right back with them.
Cliff I agree we don’t need any more people of other countries to come here.
stop them now enough
THey are FOREIGN INVADERS. Shoot Them!!!
No asylum in our America for these leeches. Let them seek asylum in another country.
Don’t let any of them cross our borders and if necessary let our National Guard take drastic measures to ensure our borders are not infiltrated by these illegals. America cannot afford to support these illegals as our own American citizens struggle to make a decent living for our own families.
We MUST protect our nation against all invaders!
They are terrorists wanting to infest our country out of existence.
Demonrats want us to be a third world hell-hole!
If this wave of undocumented immigrants with no job skills or money keep coming here from lawless countries, that is exactly what will happen.
The United States does not need anymore immigrants. We are at capacity. The economy is just starting get stabilized and welfare dependency is at its lowest and people have jobs. These people need to make thier own countries a decent place to live, instead of becoming a burden on our country.
Repel them, even by deadly force if necessary, we don’t need anymore illegal invaders, sponging off of our country.
Odds are they were sent here by someone from the previous administration. I wonder who that could be? Had to be someone with the knowledge of community organizing.
Why are they all men. The men are in danger but not the women ??? Stop them no matter what ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
The caravan is actually quite small and poses no significant threat to U.S. security. Donald Trump is pandering to his political base which is prejudiced against nearly all non-Whites and the poor. We should grant hearings to asylum seekers who are coming from war-torn and extremely violent countries. Of course we can’t grant every request for asylum but neither is there any need to send the national guard to the border. The standard ICE personnel are more than adequate.
Are you an unpatriotic idiot, or what? Those pictures have nothing but all men in them. Where are the women and children? This is a TROJAN HORSE invasion of magnitudious proportions demanding entry into our country. Obama, that dispicable crappy pos community organizer, is responsible for this invasion. Why do you think he set up DACA in the first place, and demanded open borders for his entire eight years in destroying America? Why do you think he moved only two miles away from the White House and is controlling the DEEP STATE today. Get your head on straight and wake up! Freedom is not free if you allow yourself to be enslaved by supporting illegal alien invaders. If they wanted asylum, they should have sought out the American embassy in their own country first, not bombard our borders uninvited!!!
Stop them..send them back! We have enough issues here! We cannot continue to constantly be the ‘safe haven’ for everyone! 😾😘👍🇱🇷
