The declared emergency on the southern border might get a little more emergent in coming days. Donald Trump ripped Mexico over a bizarre confrontation earlier this month in which their military drew weapons on two American soldiers on the US side of the border.

A very big Caravan of over 20,000 people started up through Mexico. It has been reduced in size by Mexico but is still coming. Mexico must apprehend the remainder or we will be forced to close that section of the Border & call up the Military. The Coyotes & Cartels have weapons!
