Is this "clueless Friday?" Of course it would be nice if we didn't incentivize illegal aliens and bogus asylum claimants. But dems have blocked all efforts to reform the system. In fairness, plenty of republicans are amnesty/open borders sell outs. California even passed a state referendum banning benefits for illegals. A district court judge knocked it down and the new democrat governor refused to appeal.
And Trump did not act because of a few mexicans slipping across the border. He acted because mexico is openly facilitating the caravan invasion. Mexico is on very thin ice here. Like the Chinese they have had things their own way for way too long. So of course they are not just going to voluntarily agree to do something for us. They have to be forced to do it, and Trump knows how to apply leverage. They will submit, but it is disgusting to see Americans rooting for Trump to fail. We've used the carrot with these Latin American countries for too long. Now they will feel the stick, wielded by a crazed orange man.
