Trump Is Going To dump NAFTA if Mexico doesn't stop drug flows
WASHINGTON ––President Donald Trump is threatening to pull out of the North American Free Trade Agreement if Mexico won't stop people and drugs from flowing across the border into the U.S. from Central America.
"They must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. Need Wall!" Trump wrote Sunday on Twitter before arriving at church for an Easter Sunday service with his wife, Melania.
In a series of posts, Trump also suggested he was no longer willing to strike a deal to help immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as minors, and repeated a call for Senate Republicans to go to a simple 51-vote majority vote to pass legislation more easily.
"Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release," Trump wrote. "Getting more dangerous. 'Caravans' coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!"
Trump posted his comments after Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, a labor union representing border patrol agents, talked about reports that a caravan of hundreds of Central Americans was headed toward the U.S. in a bid to secure asylum.
Judd, on Fox News' "Fox and Friends," said the immigrants seeking asylum would "create havoc and chaos" while in the U.S. awaiting hearings on their refugee status.
Under current immigration policies, asylum seekers that prove a "credible fear" of returning home may be released while they await adjudication if they don't present a security or flight risk. Those detained after crossing the border are also sometimes released because of bed shortages and a court ruling that limits the detention of women and children in custody to 21 days.
Trump went on to say those crossing the border "are all trying to take advantage of DACA."
"They want in on the act!" he wrote.
