So Trump threatens Mexico that he'll close the southern boarder in a year if they don't sort out the migrant issue.

@sjones123 yeh well you won't resolve it if you're too busy bickering over who's to blame.

It's been 40 years of this. If the average person cared, they would have done something by now.

@sjones123 the average person isn't knowingly affected by it.

@sjones123 it's why ppl are starving on the other side of the planet. It doesn't affect them so they don't care.

@sjones123 Conservatives conveniently forget how the west has already overrun the third world. Refugees exist in part because of colonialism and other kinds of western interference.

@bijouxbroussard Mainly, refugees exist because their countries are crap holes. Don't blame the west for that.

@sjones123 Sure you can. Colonialism was about showing up uninvited in countries, subjugating, raping and killing the native people, and stealing the natural resources. In places where they didn’t build countries that excluded the survivors, they left chaos.

@sjones123 The Chamber of Commerce is conservative business owners who welcome illegal labor because they don’t complain about unsafe conditions or not getting paid.

@Lila15 Ann coulter and Bernie Sanders both pointed out that open borders is a Koch brothers proposal.

@IHateMyLife0MeDie Yes, but the Koch Bros. are libertarians. Most libertarians support open borders. The conservative position is to give lip service to border enforcement while letting people in anyway. Trump doesn't go along with either of those; he's a white nationalist who would close the border if he could get away with it.
