President Trump is hitting back at his critics. Trump correctly complained today about the media and the Democrats only finding fault when he does something good for the country.
He has a point. Look, the Democrats would not give Trump a political win, so they would not help solve the problem at the border.
Trump, acting alone, got Mexico to not only enforce their border but he got them to concede on asylum. Mexico today agreed that if the new troops at the border don’t work they will talk about changing their asylum laws because the Democrats will not change ours.
From Breitbart: President Donald Trump ripped Democrats again on Monday for refusing to help solve the migrant crisis on the Southern border.
“Mexico doing more for the United States now than Congress — specifically the Democrats,” Trump said at the White House. “We have a tremendous problem at the border.”
The president commented on the issue as he recognized the winner of the Indy 500 race at the White House.
Trump also responded to Mexico’s denials that there was a border agreement in place after he lifted his tariff threat.
“We have an agreement on something they will announce very soon,” he said. “It’s all done. It was all done because of the tariffs and the relationship with Mexico.”
From The Daily Wire: The Mexican government says it’s deploying 6,000 Mexican National Guard troops to that country’s southern border in an effort to assist the United States in curbing the flow of migrants from Central America, through Mexico, to the United States’ southern border.
The move comes just days after the Mexican government and the Trump Administration reached an agreement on the subject of immigration that involved Mexico committing more fully to interdiction and protecting its small border with Guatemala, according to Reuters and DW.com.
President Donald Trump tweeted about the agreement late last week.
“I am pleased to inform you that The United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico. The Tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the U.S. on Monday, against Mexico, are hereby indefinitely suspended,” the President said on social media.
“Mexico, in turn,” he continued, “has agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of Migration through Mexico, and to our Southern Border. This is being done to greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States. Details of the agreement will be released shortly by the State Department. Thank you!”
Trump noted that the most difficult part of negotiations with the Mexican government was over Mexico’s border control. The United States asked Mexico to implement a plan to shut off or heavily police the country’s southern border with Guatemala, to head off thousand-person “migrant caravans,” which amass in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, before they cross into Mexico and become difficult for Mexican authorities to handle.
