#1 Yuuuuuge win. Senate RINOs look like wusses. Trump should campaign hard for black vote. He has done more to improve the lot of blacks than any president in 50 years.

#2 Is the Mexican National Guard any less corrupt than the Federal Police? By activating the NG could we see less trafficing in people and drugs, et. al?

#5 The part where the seekers wait around in Mexico was a gem.

#6 To quote the sages:

That's not a threat, that's a promise.

#7 Now Trump gives them the chance to live up to it. Which they probably won't. Then he can point to this saying "I gave them a chance".

Though another part of my thinks a covert deal was made. Allow our SF to operate freely against the cartels. We'll see in the coming months I suppose.

#8 Glad to see Trump using the threat of tariffs to get Mexico to budge on the illegal immigrants problem. Now, if he could squeeze Congress to do their jobs instead of playing politics and trying to dream up impediments to Trump doing his job.

Trump was right about NAFTA. Perot talked about the sucking sound of jobs leaving for Mexico because of NAFTA. He was right as well. Many small towns around here lost manufacturing because of NAFTA.

#9 The next thing he should do is charge 10% on all money leaving the US unless a Social Security Number is supplied. The IRS should check out the social security number.

#11 Trump reached an immigration reform agreement with Mexico Friday evening. The deal essentially ends catch-and-release, having Mexico offering migrants jobs and health care while they wait for their asylum claims to be heard in the U.S.

“Those [migrants] crossing the U.S. Southern Border to seek asylum will be rapidly returned to Mexico where they may await the adjudication of their [US.] asylum claims,” the State Department said in the joint declaration.

In response, Mexico will authorize the entrance of all of those individuals for humanitarian reasons, in compliance with its international obligations, while they await the adjudication of their asylum claims. Mexico will also offer jobs, healthcare, and education according to its principles.
