Trump cuts aid to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador over caravan border assaults

This is why President Trump is in the White House. The United States was sick and tired of the bull puck rhetoric, promises made, promises forgotten. He is cutting aid to Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, those South American countries that have allowed hordes of their people to head north, overwhelming the Mexican-US border in hopes to get free stuff from the taxpayers.

People who seek actual asylum are supposed to ask for it in the first country at which they arrive. In these cases from South America, that would be Mexico.

On Friday Trump announced, "We were paying them tremendous amounts of money, and we're not paying them anymore. Because they haven't done a thing for us. They set up these caravans."

And they're not sending us their best. They're sending us their Democrats and socialists, but I repeat myself.

"At the Secretary's instruction, we are carrying out the President's direction and ending FY 2017 and FY 2018 foreign assistance programs for the Northern Triangle," a State Department spokesperson said, according to the Comedy News Network. "We will be engaging Congress as part of this process."

Mexico Daily News reported on Wednesday that Olga Sánchez Cordero, the Mexican federal interior secretary, said that the "mother of all caravans" was forming in Honduras and that it contains an estimated 20,000 Democrats.

Even Obama-era DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said this week that the situation on the southern border is so dire that "we are truly in a crisis." Coming from an Obama puppet like Johnson, that's big news.

"On Tuesday there were 4,000 apprehensions," Johnson said. "I know that 1,000 overwhelms the system and I cannot begin to imagine what 4,000 a day looks like."

Imagine no more, it looks like this:

A separate report from this week found that if the "current rates of Catch and Release, border crossings, and visa overstays pan out," then the U.S. will add nearly 1.5 million illegal alien Democrats to the welfare and other entitlement roles this year.

CNN reported this last week that data they obtained from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) showed that the number of unaccompanied minors arriving at the southern border "is expected to surpass the levels during the 2014 unaccompanied minor crisis." That was the year that then President Obama had kids locked up in cages and it somehow got blamed on Trump.

The crisis has exploded in scope since Democrats forced an exemption into the massive omnibus spending bill that was passed in February that prohibited "DHS from detaining or deporting a sponsor, potential sponsor, or household member of an unaccompanied minor."

Trump, who has been exonerated on the Russian collusion probe, has repeatedly slammed Democrats and Mexico over the last few days for the ongoing crisis on the southern border.

"Mexico must use its very strong immigration laws to stop the many thousands of people trying to get into the USA," Trump tweeted Saturday afternoon. "Our detention areas are maxed out & we will take no more illegals. Next step is to close the Border! This will also help us with stopping the Drug flow from Mexico!"

"It would be so easy to fix our weak and very stupid Democrat inspired immigration laws," Trump added, using simple words. "In less than one hour, and then a vote, the problem would be solved. But the Dems don’t care about the crime, they don’t want any victory for Trump and the Republicans, even if good for USA!" he concluded with an exclamation point, a punctuation mark that should only be used twice every 100,000 words, according to the late Elmore Leonard.

"The DEMOCRATS have given us the weakest immigration laws anywhere in the World. Mexico has the strongest, & they make more than $100 Billion a year on the U.S. Therefore, CONGRESS MUST CHANGE OUR WEAK IMMIGRATION LAWS NOW, & Mexico must stop illegals from entering the U.S through their country and our Southern Border," Trump tweeted on Friday, overlooking the period after the 'S' in the abbreviation: U.S. [Ever wonder why the word 'abbreviation' is so long?]

"Mexico has for many years made a fortune off of the U.S., far greater than Border Costs. If Mexico doesn’t immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States through our Southern Border, I will be CLOSING the Border, or large sections of the Border, next week. This would be so easy for Mexico to do, but they just take our money and “talk.” Besides, we lose so much money with them, especially when you add in drug trafficking etc.), that the Border closing would be a good thing!" [Again with the exclamation mark. It's incredible!]

Prior POTUSes before Trump have closed the border.  Both Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan closed the border over drug issues. George W. Bush closed the border after the 9-11 attack and Lyndon Johnson closed it when JFK was assassinated. The world didn't come to an end and nobody died over the closings.

I don't believe Trump is bluffing and neither does Kellyanne Conway, Trump's adviser.
