(WASHINGTON) — Trump administration officials are pulling back the president’s threat to shut the southern border as soon as this week.
Press secretary Sarah Sanders said Tuesday the administration is “looking at all options” on whether to close entry ports and what the impact would be.




Last week, Trump said he’d close the border as the number of migrants coming to the U.S. has surged. He’s threatened that before.


Delays at entry points are already mounting. That’s because as many as 2,000 border officers assigned to check trucks and cars are being shifted to deal with migrant crowds. Wait times at Brownsville, Texas, were 180 minutes Monday, double the wait last year. And there were 150 trucks in Otay Mesa, California, still waiting when the border station closed for the day.

Trump has KICKED this can down the road for two years now!


Follow through with your threats and shut it down for 2 days!

We want to SEE Mexico load up buses and ship them back...get them away from our border now!

Mexico loaded them up on convoys of buses to dump them on us...and they can load them up on CONVOYS of buses back home!

Mexico LIES...they are doing nothing to stop this.

They will "pretend" to cooperate but they are not.

SEND THEM ALL BACK TO THEIR PRESIDENT'S DOORSTEP INCLUDING THEIR UAC'S!

THEY ARE NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE IN OR PAY FOR WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS!
