How is this for a sorry state of affairs?

President Trump has announced a deal with Mexico to tamp down on the migrant surge in exchange for the U.S. not slapping tariffs onto its southern neighbor. According to the New York Times:

    WASHINGTON — President Trump backed off his plan to impose tariffs on all Mexican goods and announced via Twitter on Friday night that the United States had reached an agreement with Mexico to reduce the flow of migrants to the southwestern border.

    Mr. Trump tweeted the announcement only hours after returning from Europe and following several days of intense and sometimes difficult negotiations between American and Mexican officials in Washington.

They should!  It is their country that the ILLEGALS are going through in order to get here in the first place. They need to secure and control their own borders, but the drug cartel needs those pathways open.

How is this for a sorry state of affairs?

President Trump has announced a deal with Mexico to tamp down the migrant surge in exchange for the U.S. not slapping tariffs on its southern neighbor.  According to the New York Times:  [...]

The U.S. gets something, Mexico gets something, and the dealmaker in chief got the deal entirely done while he was otherwise busy in Europe.

House Democrats?  Not so much.  These leftist crazies have blocked money for a wall, forcing Customs and Border Patrol agents to catch migrants by hand.  They aren't going to help with a border wall, and now their left-wing activist buddies are tying the matter up in court, while their media handmaidens are cranking out the individual migrant sob stories to make Trump's bid to protect the U.S. border look like the act of a heel.

Now they're blocking even detention center money for the benefit of detained migrants who've broken U.S. immigration law.  According to the Washington Post, the border surge, with its 144,000 apprehensions has created immense budget pressure:

[...]

They've also denied additional money to hire more Border Patrol agents to process the illegals surge, even as it shows no signs of peaking, with 144,000 arrested for illegal entry just last month.  They'd rather heap the extra work onto the border agents and keep the border enforcement ineffective.  The heck they're going to give extra money for more agents even as the border surges.

They even threw forward new incentives to come here illegally, by rewarding DREAMers already here with legalization and a path to citizenship, which, by extension, would include the illegal alien parents who brought them here.  Way to make people want to follow the law.  Democrats continue to make it more attractive to migrants to come here illegally than legally.

But as this clown show keeps going on in Washington, now we have Mexico, finally doing something that recognizes reality on the border along with its own interests.

Now *here's* a bumper sticker   

Even if its not true.  Truth doesn't matter does it?  Mexico's Obrador has actually reversed policy to stop drug cartel.  He isn't trying to stop them at all.

I think the big thing in the agreement is the illegals will be kept in Mexico until their asylum claims are heard in court. We already have a 2 yr backlog so I would bet the numbers heading our way will be a lot less when word gets out they won't get a work permit and released into the USA. I'm sure the Rats heads will explode when they figure out catch and release will be stopped.

Assuming a judge or two don't insist on letting them in, and that Trump wins in Nov. 2020,this could be very big.


DEver since REAGAN'S 1986 Amnesty, subsequent politicians amnesty support, weak interior enforecment, illegal immigrants had highhopes of nearly indefinite residence in the US.


Waiting in Mexico with uncertain prospects of amnesty, would change that equation.


Of course at any time democrats or Bush/McCain/Ryan figures could turn it again.
