"As everyone knows, the United States of America has been invaded by hundreds of thousands of people coming through Mexico and entering our country illegally. This sustained influx of illegal aliens has profound consequences on every aspect of our national life--overwhelming our schools, overcrowding our hospitals, draining our welfare system, and causing untold amounts of crime. Gang members, smugglers, human traffickers, and illegal drugs and narcotics of all kinds are pouring across the Southern Border and directly into our communities. Thousands of innocent lives are taken every year as a result of this lawless chaos. It must end NOW!"
"Democrats in Congress are fully aware of this horrible situation and yet refuse to help in any way, shape, or form. This is a total dereliction of duty. The migrant crisis is a calamity that must now be solved--and can easily be solved--in Congress. Our broken asylum laws, court system, catch-and-release, visa lottery, chain migration, and many other loopholes can all be promptly corrected."Frustrated by the Democrats continuing refusal to act--President Trump called on Mexico to help him end this crisis by threatening to introduce a 5% tariff on all goods imported from Mexico starting 10 June - progressively rising to a permanent 25% on October 1 unless Mexico substantially stopped this illegal flow.
Mexico has responded positively and now signed a Joint Declaration with the United States."Mexico must step up and help solve this problem. We welcome people who come to the United States legally, but we cannot allow our laws to be broken and our borders to be violated. For years, Mexico has not treated us fairly--but we are now asserting our rights as a sovereign Nation."
Being branded "The Illegality Party" will certainly not help the Democrats in the 2020 elections.
