With Trump threatening to punish Mexico for the Honduran immigration crisis he created (geography was not his top subject), I headed to Mexico yesterday to pick up the prize for International Reporting from the Club de Periodistas de México (a prize I share with #JulianAssange). 
The big story while I was in #Mexico was today’s planned march in Tijuana, called for by President @lopezobrador. He’s called for hundreds of thousands to march on the border to “defender nuestra soberanía”— defend Mexico’s sovereignty, its dignity.
There’s a feeling that Trump was simply trying to humiliate #Mexico, that it has nothing to do with migrants. Ironically, the President, reasonably referred to as the #BernieSanders of Mexico, has been exceptionally cooperative and respectful toward Trump. gregpalast.com/how-the-bernie…
What are your thoughts on the #MexicoTariffs ? Is this an idle threat like when The President said he'd close the border or will he actually follow through on it? And will it be effective and make Mexico get it's act together on the flood of illegals?
My thoughts on the #MexicoTariffs is that it won't solve anything because Mexico knows that filthy politicians will undermine the President at every turn , so they will just hold out as long as they can. It is in their interests to flood America with illegals. They are no friend
On a side note , i find it appalling that we are practically begging Mexico to help us instead of solving the illegal immigration problems ourselves. Honestly, President Trump needs to drop the hammer and go scorched earth, ENOUGH ALREADY !
Acting @DHSgov Secretary Kevin McAleenan tells reporters in conference call says US immigration officials now have a record 80,000+ people in custody.
Four children this month have died transiting from #Mexico or in US federal custody, according to McAleenan.
#Mexico must take significant action, says McAleenan.
