Trump tells border officials to block migrant caravans from entering US
Washington Examiner, Apr 23, 2018, Anna Giaritelli

President Trump announced Monday he has directed the Department of Homeland Security to block large groups of migrants who have begun to arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border and apply for asylum as refugees from Central America.

"Despite the Democrat inspired laws on Sanctuary Cities and the Border being so bad and one sided, I have instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security not to let these large Caravans of people into our Country. It is a disgrace. We are the only Country in the World so naive! WALL," Trump tweeted Monday morning.

Trump also said negotiations over a new North American Free Trade Agreement must include language that prevents Central Americans from getting into Mexico via its southern border.

Mexico, whose laws on immigration are very tough, must stop people from going through Mexico and into the U.S. We may make this a condition of the new NAFTA Agreement. Our Country cannot accept what is happening! Also, we must get Wall funding fast," Trump added.

It looks like showing up at the border and applying for refugee status is fait accompli for some categories of people.
