Oh really? For how long - a few hours? Whoop tee doo. Something like that barely even counts.

U.S. Closes Mexico Border Crossing to Install New Barriers | Time

The United States closed off northbound traffic for several hours at the busiest border crossing with Mexico to install new security barriers on Monday, a day after hundreds of Tijuana residents protested against the presence of thousands of Central American migrants.

The U.S. also closed one of two pedestrian crossings at the San Ysidro crossing in a move apparently aimed at preventing any mass rush of migrants across the border.
Yeah, as I said, a few hours. Whoop-tee-doo. Something like that is little more than symbolic.

This thread gets 1 post every 2-3 hours. Why is it still a sticky? The election is over, nobody is talking about this anymore.

According to this from Fox News, a million people legally cross the US/ Mexico border each day. That’s 365 million transits a year.

Completely different than what is being discussed here. Period.

As usual, it doesn't matter what Trump does or doesn't do - The unhinged left and fake news will be outraged ... and seek out some obscure political judge somewhere to declare it unconstitutional. Meanwhile, the U.S. gets so politically polarized that gridlock continues -- which is what the Dems seem perfectly happy with (if they can't get their own way).

Well seeing how it was never about the election and in fact about upwards of about 10,000-11,000 third world migrants attempting to enter our country without being invited or wanted its still relevant. By the way the last report I saw was that 500 people in this caravan are known criminals.

Another threat Trump won't possibly carry out. Like practically shutting down refugee flow, travel ban and using the military for domestic law and dorder? Don't bet against Trump.

BREAKING: Trump may close down US-Mexico border

Yep. Trump can feel the walls closing in. He's pulling every tin pot dictator trick he knows out of the bag.
