Trump Threatens to Close Border “Entirely” and Return to “Pre-NAFTA” if No Wall

Close the Wall Entirely

Here’s the complete series of Tweets by Trump on his latest threat about funding the wall.

Seeking Clarification

The WSJ reports the White House and the Department of Homeland Security didn’t immediately respond to a request seeking to clarify the president’s tweets.

As Tweeted, it appears Trump is willing to stop all crossings, even legal ones as a “profit-making operation”.

Rest assured, stopping all trade with Mexico or even going back to “pre-NAFTA” be anything but a profit-making operation.

I think we should bomb Mexico, and take all their gold! Just like Obomber did to Libya.

Profit and prosperity are secondary to Trump’s base. Purity ethnically and separation from others is more important to many. Authoritarians never value commerce , for it creates power independent of themselves.

You anti-White too??

How can you do studies to find concentrations of White people so you can chase them down with non-Whites and then say that is not genocide?

There is a worldwide program to send non-Whites to any area that is “too White.” Name that program what it is: #WhiteGenocide.

I wonder, will he take $5B to find and deport visa overstays instead of the wall. That’s where the bulk of illegals come from.

I wouldn’t close it, I’d just implement an inspection regimen so thorough that a man in boxer shorts carrying a tack hammer would need five days to get through. Neither national party gives a damn about immigration law enforcement. They’re both waiting patiently for the people to forget about it again, like we did after Reagan signed the 1986 reform bill legalizing 4 million illegals. The ‘grand bipartisan compromise’ this time will be to legalize 12 million this time in return for stringing a strand of rusty barbed wire somewhere between El Paso and San Diego, where not even village idiots try to cross. The big money in both parties need the cheap labor and Nancy and friends need the future government dependents.
