Typical misleading CBS refuses to tell the truth in its headline. It should say illegal immigrants because once they cross our border they're criminals., both adults and the children. Nevertheless, Trump would be doing the right thing sending the military to close the border to prevent these type people from illegally entering our country that wasn't created for them in the first place. The first legislation by the first Congress (1790 Naturalization Act) was specific of what type people they wanted as citizens to populate the new nation. We should return to those roots because our nation would be a better place. It would be a beautiful utopia. It is paramount that the browning of America must cease. Doing that will make America great again!

President Trump threatened to order the U.S. military to "close" the southern border with Mexico, issuing a salvo of morning tweets that blasted Democrats, Mexico and other Latin American countries over immigration policy. The president made the comments as a caravan of Central American migrants is trying to reach the United States.

Mr. Trump said leaders in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are doing little to stop the large flow of people into the U.S. "In addition to stopping all payments to these countries, which seem to have almost no control over their population, I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught - and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER,'' he wrote in his tweet.

So Trump said "close the Southern border" and CBS is being misleading by quoting him directly?
 
The bottom line is if they are seeking asylum, seek it in Mexico, not the USA.

Close the border and use troops if necessary. We have a right to decide who comes in and who doesn't.

He needs cooperation from the states...and closing border entries is going to do what? Keep Americans out? Keep legal immigrants out? Cost us lots of money? yep, all of those things...because the only thing closing the border means is shutting down legal ports of entry...which also means trade shuts down. Some people aren't very smart.

How do you close the border? Shut down ports of entry? Is that what you desire? NO trade in or out, no American citizens allowed to travel in or out of the country...right????

And what exactly did he say "stop this onslaught" about? Assumptions aren't going to cut it.

You all me? Are we under attack from giant walking tacos? According to you, either we actually are or the President thinks we are. That's not very good either way.

All you're doing is deflecting. Why won't you answer the question?

Since you're the oracle who knows what Trump meant, I was hoping you'd tell me. Since he didn't mean immigrants, he actually means....what?
