    I am glad my business doesn't rely on transport over the border .I would think if I had a business that relied on trade with Mexico that it is about to be severely impacted about 1.7 billion dollars a day

    the real reason the people are coming here is because so much unrest is being created in their homelands by the orange turd

    I am not convinced that shutting down all business over the border is the answer. I am more convinced that making sure things are okay in the rest of the world is a good idea .we don't pay nothing to do things for us we were paying them to do things for themselves that would help them be a peaceful neighbor

    You can buy diplomacy or you can pay for trouble .

    I've not heard if closing the border applies to commercial traffic, or just to immigration traffic. It seems pretty clear that the problem with the surge of immigrants determined to overwhelm our system needs to be dealt with promptly, and lacking the will of congress to do so, Trump will take executive action. He understands business and economics, so I suspect it will be focused on the immigration, and not impact commercial shipping. I say- go for it. get the mess under control.

    Unrest in their countries is Trumps fault?

    What a laughable claim.

    The threat to close the border is to get the corrupt cultures in the Triangle and Mexico to do something about all the people they are sending to the border.

    Ball will be in their court.

    The Border Patrol needs to take officers from the ports to patrol the areas without a wall to help this explosion of crossings. That will necessitate closing the ports. The idiot dems that say there is no crisis have their heads in the sand.

    "Trouble" we got ... and it's because billion$ spanning decades have been stolen by Central American diplomats. Loons who think "new deals" can solve problems the US doesn't have ... should impose their socialist solutions on failed states below the border.

    Trump is willing to shut down the southern border to bring the age-old problem to a head. Why is it necessary to shut it down? Because of the illegal aliens flooding the border, and for years and years and years the politicians have complained about a porous border, complained about the drugs crossing the border, pointed their finger at the other party, but only gave us hot air. Trump is giving us action. The action of a true leader. Exactly what most hard working Americans want to happen. Trump in 2020.

    And they keep harping on it, even though they know that Trump ISN'T going to close the border.

    Trumpies are always good for Comic Relief.:salute:

    I heard an interview with the mayor of El Paso

    NGO's are overwhelmed and the people can't give anymore to help these people

    I guess I have to agree there is a crisis at the border

    And suddenly it's getting much much worse

    I also heard that Mexico has stopped a large caravan in response to Trump's threat

    I know instead of shutting down the border, why don't both sides sit down and try to solve the problem. A wall will not solve the problem, neither will no wall. If it is really a problem then let's do what Americans have done in the past work to solve it and quit the blame game.

    Texas cities are being overwhelmed with illegal immigrants. If that were the case in California, New York Massachusetts, etc. the left might think differently about controlling the southern border!

    Lack of avacados will not ruin your day. 100,000 apprehensions in March. It has gotten ridiculous and the dems are determined to do nothing.

    For Wall Street you mean? Where hundreds of billions of dollars will suddenly disappear in a puff of smoke and our economy will enter a depression?

    California is overwhelmed with illegal aliens. The thing is, they are welcomed by their legal relatives. Progressives who run the State have secured unilateral veto proof majorities in the State Legislature as a result of this pandering.

    On day one of a border shutdown?....After a month? How long in your mind would the shutdown have to be for your prediction to come true?
