Just as I was going to lunch, Trump decided to make big news by threatening to close the border next week.
In short, Trump said that Congress must change our weak immigration laws and Mexico must stop all illegal traffic coming to our southern border, or else he’ll close the border next week.
Here’s his tweets:

I just hope this isn’t any empty threat.
The CBP needs as much relief as they can get right now as they are completely overwhelmed.
Even Obama’s former DHS Secretary is now admitting this:
For months the media said there was no crisis at the border when there absolutely was. Now it’s beyond a crisis really, to the point that the CPB is having to bypass their normal processes and immediately release migrants into the US, as we pointed out this morning.
