'Mexico must apprehend all illegals and not let them make the long march up to the United States, or we will have no other choice than to Close the Border and/or institute Tariffs. Our Country is FULL!,' Trump posted on Twitter.
Amid speculation on the circumstances around the departure of Kirstjen Nielsen as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security in President Donald Trump's administration, Trump took to Twitter to again broadcast his latest immigration policy.
Trump's tweets illustrate a policy that the president has repeated recently, threatening Mexico with closure of the border — an act that would have drastic economic impact on both Mexico and the United States as over $1 billion dollars in goods and services crosses the border every day, the New York Times reported.
On March 29, Trump wrote that he would close the border"next week" if Mexico did not intervene to stop illegal immigrants from Central America who pass through the country on the way to the United States. On Sunday, Trump announced, again via Twitter, that DHS had redeployed 750 border agents to some entry ports to"help with the large scale surge of illegal migrants trying to make their way into the United States" and that the shift would cause traffic delays along the border.
According to a report published Sunday by the Times, Trump had recently asked Nielsen to stop allowing individuals requesting asylum into the country and to close all ports of entry, moves which Nielsen reportedly did not find an appropriate or effective action.
