President Trump is slamming the left for being weak on border security, while also demanding Mexico stop the large influx of immigrants approaching the southern border.
The president took to Twitter Thursday, saying if Mexico fails to intervene then the U.S. military will close the border completely.
….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!..

President Trump continued by saying ceasing the flow of drug and criminals into the U.S. is more important than global trade. He also slammed the leaders of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala for failing to intervene.
This comes as thousands of migrants march through Latin America toward the U.S. border despite the U.S. threatening to cut-off aid from those involved.
