President Donald Trump said the U.S. will close its southern border with Mexico if needed, a day after U.S. agents shot several rounds of tear gas at migrants, some of whom tried to breach a border fence.
Mexico should move the flag waving Migrants, many of whom are stone cold criminals, back to their countries, Trump said Monday on Twitter. Do it by plane, do it by bus, do it anyway you want, but they are NOT coming into the U.S.A. We will close the Border permanently if need be.

Trump made similar threats in October ahead of the midterm elections, warning that an approaching caravan of migrants posed a risk to U.S. security and claiming without evidence that criminals were among the group. So far, he hasnt followed through on those threats.
Details of any potential closing of the 1,954-mile (3,145 kilometer) border arent yet clear. Mexico is the third-largest American goods trading partner with $557.6 billion in two-way trade during 2017, according to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Trade in services accounted for another $58 billion.

I wish he would wait until 2020 - maybe that would get more Latinos to the poll.
