#2 ...then they are prepared for the border to close.

The man has a pretty good record of doing what he said he was going to do.

#11 From peanut gallery’s BBC article:

Amid growing desperation on Sunday, the group of about 500 migrants - who had been taking part in a peaceful protest for the right to seek political asylum in the US - made a run for the border.

Mexico's Home Secretary, Alfonso Navarrete, said the group had asked for help to organise the demonstration, but had reportedly been encouraged by some of the movement's leaders to split into different groups and try to cross into the US.

According to news agency AFP, a number managed to climb over the first fence. It was as they tried to cross a second, spike-topped wall that officials on the US side began throwing tear gas.

An AFP journalist saw the migrants - including mothers and children - trying to protect themselves from the gas, with some crying out that they only wanted to find a work and a better life in the US.

I am all admiration at mothers able to climb over such barriers with small children, but now they will not pass Go, nor collect the $200. There is a lesson in this about assumptions and counting chickens, one suspects.
