Washington, October 18 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to shut the U.S.-Mexico border, claiming without evidence that several Central American countries are allowing what he called “many criminals” to head to the United States.
Trump was referring to a caravan of migrants now traveling through Honduras and Guatemala en route to U.S. southern border. Earlier, he threatened to cut off aid to the two countries, as well as to El Salvador.
In his flurry of early-morning tweets, Donald Trump also took a swipe at Democrats for so-called “open borders” and “weak laws.”
Earlier this year, a similar caravan of migrants sparked the president’s anger, leading him to call on State governors to deploy National Guard troops to the border with Mexico.
