Immigration Tweet Storm Ahead of Caravan Standoff

President Trump expressed his feelings regarding the migrant caravan headed to the southern border of the United States on twitter early Thursday in a series of tweets.

I am watching the Democrat Party led (because they want Open Borders and existing weak laws) assault on our country by Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, whose leaders are doing little to stop this large flow of people, INCLUDING MANY CRIMINALS, from entering Mexico to U.S.....

....In addition to stopping all payments to these countries, which seem to have almost no control over their population, I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught - and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!..

....The assault on our country at our Southern Border, including the Criminal elements and DRUGS pouring in, is far more important to me, as President, than Trade or the USMCA. Hopefully Mexico will stop this onslaught at their Northern Border. All Democrats fault for weak laws!

He called out the governments of the countries located on the path to America, namely Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico, along with the Democratic Party.

After watching idly as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) expired, the democrats have done little in terms of addressing the issue legislatively.

Last, prior to the expiration of DACA the President called for new bipartisan legislation addressing the estimated 600,000 to 800,000 so-called dreamers. Congress has yet to deliver on the President's request, again making the issue of immigration a central theme of the 2018 midterm.
