"...It’s all strong evidence that, far from ignoring or rejecting Trump’s efforts to jawbone them into doing something to stop the flood of illegals, America’s most important southern neighbor is listening to him. Recall that Mexico stepped up actions to control the migrants in a bid to avoid tariffs Trump had threatened to impose.

The message has also gotten through to those seeking to come to the United States illegally. Mexican officials have said there has been a “significant decrease” in the number of Central Americans entering their country this year for the purpose of illegally immigrating to the United States.

It makes sense. The campaign by Obama and other Democrats to grant amnesty and a wide array of benefits to illegal immigrants fueled the surge across the border, with new migrants seeking the same lenient treatment. That led to the crisis in which federal resources were overwhelmed by the sheer number of asylum-seekers, prompting much grandstanding and crocodile tears from the left.

Trump’s critics have libelously denounced his attempts to enforce the law — and restore order at the border — as reminiscent of the Nazis and evidence of racism. Yet those efforts seem to be having the intended effect on those contemplating coming here without permission...."

African migrants trapped in Mexico protest for right to travel to USA

Increasing numbers of Africans migrants are choosing to cross the Atlantic instead of the Mediterranean to reach the United States or Canada by travelling through South and Central America. The journey is expensive, long and dangerous. Drug and human traffickers frequent the route. At certain points in the journey, there are even poisonous animals pose (especially in the jungled Darién Gap, located on the border between Colombia and Panama).

But for the past few months, many of these migrants have faced another obstacle. Changes to Mexican migration policy have left many stuck in southern Mexico, unable to continue their travels to the north. So several hundreds of them started to protest on August 18, in front of the 21th century migrant holding facility ("Estación Migratoria Siglo XXI" in Spanish), which is run by the National Institute of Migration, a unit of the Mexican government that controls and supervises migration in the country, in Tapachula, Chiapas state. Those who joined in the protests were from many different countries, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Senegal, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Angola and Somalia.

Trump has gotten $6 billion transferred from DOD and the plans are in place for 500 more miles of wall to be built by 2020.

What we need to do now is just STFU and build and build.. and build. If Trump can pull off 500 miles by 2020, that’s a success in my eyes and I will be excited to go vote for him again to finish the job.

The border is about 2,000 miles. I would guess 500 miles don't need wall. Some portion already has wall. 500 would be a good start.

Right, something like that. 500 miles would represent a job that is on schedule and thus, a campaign promise kept. Re-elect him for the other 500-750 miles or whatever is necessary to complete it.

Cuban, really? I love you man but this is the first time I'll have to disagree with you. Cuban isn't any better than Flake as he's a big RINO. He's a Liberal with money, that's about it.
