Gorka: GOP leaders in Senate ‘betraying’ POTUS Trump — again — over Mexican tariffs
 

By Jon Dougherty

Former presidential adviser Dr. Sebastian Gorka blasted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other “RINO” members of the Senate GOP caucus for opposing POTUS Donald Trump’s decision to levy an escalating tariff regime on Mexico for failing to do more to interdict illegal aliens enroute to the United States.

On Tuesday, McConnell told reporters in a classic understatement, “There is not much support in my conference for tariffs, that’s for sure,” when discussing the president’s plan to impose a 5 percent tariff on Mexican imports beginning June 10, then steadily raising them throughout the remainder of this year until they reach 25 percent.

The real betrayal is over allowing illegals to freely enter this country.  It started when nothing meaningful was done after the 1986 amnesty act.

And even when the GOP held both halls of Congress and the Presidency it did nothing.
No punishment, in my opinion, is too great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin~  George Washington

This is interesting but we had to carry out a tariff threat to get at human traffickers in Mejico! Maybe our guys did their investigation and found this out. Who knows!? But you very well can't have a nation that sits on the knowledge there are human traffickers. HTs must be the worst of the worst.

Mexico freezes bank accounts in widening migration clampdown

MEXICO CITY, June 6 (Reuters) - The Mexican Finance Ministry said on Thursday it blocked the bank accounts of 26 people for their alleged involvement in human trafficking, as Mexico broadens its migration clampdown under intense pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump.

The ministry's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) said in a statement it froze the accounts due to "probable links with human trafficking and illegal aid to migrant caravans."

The FIU added that it would present the cases to the Attorney General's office.

The last Senate with McCain, Murkowski, Flake, Collins and who knows else, was hardly the ones to trust to past say, a Wall bill.

Again, the House might have and the Senate disappoints, now, the Democrats control the House.
