….All will stay in Mexico. If for any reason it becomes necessary, we will CLOSE our Southern Border. There is no way that the United States will, after decades of abuse, put up with this costly and dangerous situation anymore!

On Saturday, Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley informed Fox News that the Trump administration is looking forward to working with the Mexican government:
“President Trump has developed a strong relationship with the incoming Obrador Administration. We look forward to working with them on a wide range of issues.”
The president and/or his administration have not yet publicly responded to the public statement of Mexico’s forthcoming Interior Minister.
The Southern Border and Migrant Caravan
News of migrants approaching the United States in the hopes of seeking asylum has dominated headlines for weeks. Americans on both sides of the aisle have weighed in on the caravan and its subsequent impacts on immigration debates. In addition to the president’s most recent statements regarding the migrants, he is also pushing Congress to provide funding for a border wall.
