| Did Trump Just Solve The Border Crisis: Mexican President ‘Agreed To Stop Migration Through Mexico’ Trump Claims | ||
| 2024-11-28 | ||
| [ZERO] Did Trump solve the border crisis two months before even being sworn in as the 47th president? Two days after surprising markets - and sending the peso plummeting - by announcing he would enact 25% import duties on Mexican goods if the country doesn't stop the flow of drugs and migrants across the border. tariffs on Mexican goods in response to the flood of drugs across the porous southern border, best known for allowing millions of illegal immigrants to enter the US in the past four ears, Trump's unexpected gambit may have already paid off. In a post on Truth Social network, Trump announced that after a "wonderful" conversation with Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum, she "agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border." If confirmed, this would be the second time Trump has managed to convince Mexico to suspend migrants from crossing its territory to enter the US. Back in 2018, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador - a charismatic, old-school politician - developed a chummy relationship with Trump. The two were eventually able to strike a bargain in which Mexico helped keep migrants away from the border - and received other countries' deported migrants - and Trump backed down on similar threats. While Sheinbaum, who took office Oct. 1, has been seen as a stern leftist ideologue trained in radical student protest movements, and appeared less willing to pacify or mollify Trump, it seems she too has capitulated just 48 hours after Trump unveiled what was coming.
Mexico president says border to remain open after Trump claimed she agreed to close it [IsraelTimes] US President-elect Donald Trump says Mexico’s leader had agreed to “stop” migration during a conversation between the pair, “effectively closing” the border between their countries. Claudia Sheinbaum, who posted earlier on X about the call, said the pair had discussed Mexico’s migration “strategy” but made no reference to closing the border. She worked quickly to respond to Trump’s claim, saying the country did not plan to close its border. “Mexico’s position is not to close borders, but to build bridges between governments and communities,” the Mexican president writes on X.

| #4 It's one thing if the cartels stay on their side of the border killing their own people. Not out problem. When they cross the border and shoot at Border Patrol or local Law Enforcement, it's effectively an invasion by a non governmental military force and should be dealt accordingly. |
