I mean thousands are coming across the border daily. We have ran out of room to keep people. Of course the border should be shut down until the problem is resolved. Do y’all really believe we should just let these people come across and not do anything about it? What happens when one bad one comes in and there’s a terrorist attack? It only takes one bad one

@marriedplus3 You believe all the legal entry points should be closed? Or just that parts of the border that has no Walls?

@marriedplus3 White Supremacists are the terrorists in the USA. That is a fact based upon statistics.

Close down the entire border. Until things can get under control. I want people here legally. But we need the time to check into these people make sure there not criminals. It is about America’s safety @SimplyTracie

@marriedplus3 People seem to forget that immigrants fly into this country and simply overstay their visas.

Drugs too. It comes by planes.

We all know that he cannot just say, “the border is now closed” and immigrants will just turn around and go back home. It’s a lame tweet, admit it.

No but border patrol could say I’m sorry we are closed and no longer letting anyone in. I’m sorry for the inconvenience @SimplyTracie

@marriedplus3 What about into Mexico. Should that be closed too?

But the entries can’t be just shut down. People live in Calexico and work in Mexicali.

You make valid points and I don’t know how it will work. But something to get control of the steady flow of people coming into our country has to happen. @SimplyTracie

@marriedplus3 No. But a xenophobic response is not the correct approach.

@marriedplus3 We will wait and see if and how our diplomats deal with Mexico’s counterparts. Threats rarely work between heads of state.
