Trump Threatens to Close Southern Border

‘I’m not playing games’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "It could mean to all trade. Mexico is making absolutely a fortune with the United States. They have a trade surplus of over $100 billion, which is far bigger than anybody understands, they've had it for many years. They have the strongest immigration laws anywhere in the world, and we have the weakest, the most pathetic laws. Number one, Congress has to act, and number two, Mexico, they make so much money from the United States and so many other things, so many other assets. They have to grab it and they have to stop it. We have right now two big caravans coming up from Guatemala, massive caravans walking right through Mexico. So, Mexico's tough. They can stop them, but they chose not to. Now they're going to stop them. And if they don't stop them, we're closing the border. And we'll keep it closed for a long time, I'm not playing game. Mexico has to stop it. They have people coming right through Mexico. It's a long, very dangerous journey. Mexico send buses, they send trucks, they do absolutely — they started at one point a little bit stopping. They don't do anything to stop it right now, so the caravans form. I've ended payments to Guatemala, to Honduras, and to El Salvador. No money goes there anymore. We were giving them $500 million, we're giving them tremendous aid. We stopped the payment to Honduras, to Guatemala, and to El Salvador.”
