President Trump Monday morning posted a trio of tweets claiming he will follow through on his threats to withhold or substantially reduce the billions in aid sent to countries like Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador for their part in failing to stop and/or enabling the March of the Migrants to the U.S.-Mexico border.
He also again blamed the Democrats "for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws!"
Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!

Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the Midterms! So unfair to those who come in legally.

Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.

How President Trump will take action both in terms of punishing these South American countries in question as well as enforcing his own border as-of-yet remains murky, but as previously reported here at MRCTV,
During a campaign rally in Elko, Nevada Trump remarked 'We’re going to figure it out,' but saying that he would keep the specific details of his plans 'low key until the election...They’re not coming into this country.'
