There is only one way to end the ongoing USA/Mexico border conflict and that is to close the border for the time being. Round up those 2,000-plus children and reunite them with their parents. Then send all of them — currently assaulting the USA/Mexico border seeking asylum — back over the Mexico border and slam the door shut! Say goodbye! Deny all asylum applications and make them reapply at the nine U.S. Consulates located throughout Mexico and at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City.

Let Mexico deal with all these people from Central America they allowed through Mexico in caravans to confront USA immigration laws. Mexico and others allowed this to happen. The USA needs to throw this situation right back at Mexico like a lemon Morang pie in the face – splat!

Give only a 24-hour notice to truckers and other vehicles that transverse the border often that the border will close indefinitely. No more coming and going like before. Shut down the entire Mexico/USA border from California to Texas for months. Let it drag on as the U.S. Congress fails to act to solve these long-existent problems all along the border.

It’s time for a ‘High Noon’ showdown. Instead of Hollywood icon Gary Cooper, you get President Donald Trump gun slingin’ out on Main Street, USA enforcing the law of the land by going up alone against thugs arriving on the noon train to take out the sheriff and control his New Mexico town. In the movie Cooper won the fight against all odds with little help and so will President Trump. What’s the difference? Same fight, different time. One’s a movie the other’s real life. Life does imitate timeless art.

President Trump is urging the U.S. Congress not to take up any more immigration legislation until after the mid-term elections set for November 6. The president’s ‘High Noon’ moment will come Sept. 30 when the U.S. Congress will again face financing the government for another six months. He has threatened to shut down the government for as long as it takes to get border wall funding and a permanent solution for the DACA-children immigration problem plus a long list the Democrats have obstructed. This will be perfect timing to blame the Democrats for the continuing immigration problems just before the mid-term elections.

Mexico can’t bear the thought of losing 100-million-dollars per year in trade imbalances with the USA. This trade deficit is what President Trump is trying to fix along with trade deficits with Canada, China and Europe.

This is why Mexico is 100-percent at fault for the current border-illegal immigrant controversy by allowing these illegals – mostly from Central America – passage through Mexico all the way to the Mexico/USA border. Mexico could have stopped them at their highly fortified southern border, but they did not.

When President Trump first started campaigning for president he stressed the need to build a border wall from California to Texas and he claimed Mexico will pay for this. By equalizing the trade deficit, Mexico will indeed pay for the wall.

There are new liberal chants appearing on protest signs held up by protesters at border crossings that read “Dismantle ICE,” “Abolish ICE,” “F… ICE” and “Shut Down ICE.” ICE stands for U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement. These chants are also starting to come from the lips of Democratic candidates for the U.S. Congress and state governorships such as Matt Haggman of Miami, FL and Cynthia Nixon of New York.

“ICE has a proven track record of cruelty and should be disbanded,” says Haggman, a candidate for Florida’s 27th Congressional District. “As your Congressman I’ll fight to shut ICE down … ICE and the Trump targets children … We can protect our borders without being cruel to kids … It’s time for a new day.”

Meanwhile, Democrat Nixon is challenging incumbent New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and she, too, is demanding that ICE be shut down.

In mainstream media ICE is routinely and wrongly portrayed as “Nazi storm trooper thugs” and “Gestapo.” It’s a sure bet that more candidates and mainstream incumbent Democrats will continue with this dangerous trend to end one of the USA’s most effective law enforcement agencies that grew out of the Sept. 11, 2001 jetliner attacks upon New York City, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania along with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Currently — ICE employees about 20,000 people with a budget of $7.8-billion in 2017, according to Wikipedia.

Without ICE the USA/Mexico border would be overrun with not thousands, but millions of Mexicans, Central Americans and South Americans bringing with them drugs and gangs causing severe social upheaval in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. California is already seeing the horrible results of sanctuary thinking flung upon the people of California – a state with the highest taxes, highest unemployment along with the greatest number of homeless living on the streets of major cities across California. There is currently a rebellion coming from California voters to reject ‘Sanctuary State’ status for California.

Since Mexico allowed the current border situation to develop, they should be responsible for these illegal immigrants – parents, children and infiltrated gang members. Push them all back across the Mexico/USA border and slam that door. Let Mexico deal with it.
