Trump steps back from Mexico border threat as companies warn of economic fallout.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the largest U.S. business lobbying group, has been in contact with the White House to discuss the “very negative economic consequences that would occur across the country,” said Neil Bradley, the group’s top lobbyist, on a call with reporters.
What a bunch of crooks! High wages are a good thing.

I don't know what he means by 'close the border'. Isn't that why the wall is needed? Because you can't close it even if you wanted to.

Trump would NEVER close the borders...its just a thinly veiled threat, thats it, nothing more.


Even if national security were a HUGE concern, closing the border would be too inconvenient and troublesome to industry, the mighty dollar comes before security today!

If we went into a Second Great Depression economically but were also able to ditch the yoke of both the globalist Leftists and RINOs and the cheap labor corporate tyrants in the process, I'd be happy with that tradeoff. Freedom > Economic "Prosperity"

He just shoots off his mouth and keeps having to backtrack because he is clueless. Just like he did with the shutdown. That was my point.
I live in Illinois in farm country. And yes, we have grown our own (might not this year to give the soil a rest).
