Mexico agrees to deploy 10,000 troops to US border in exchange for tariff pause

How does putting 10,000 troops owned by the cartels (Trump's words) going to control illegal immigration?
If they don't control immigration, the tariffs go into effect. You haven't thought this situation through.

I know you don't like it, but reality typically gets in the way of biased perception.
 
10,000 troops at the border is a start.
And what do you think those 10,000 troops are going to do, exactly? Apprehend their countrymen and women? If you believe that I have an island to sell you.
 
Like the troops on the Rio Grande before the Mexican-American War?
 
You have no idea what, if anything, has been agreed.

oh so now its went from "Mexico isn't going to make deals" to "well yeah, reports are Mexico is making deals BUT ARE THEY REALLY"

anti-Trumpers just going to hate ....

imagine for a moment .... 2027 ..... there are almost no illegals coming across the border, lets say 95% decrease. Lets say cartels are now only getting 10% of the drugs into the USA (a 90% decrease) ... human/kid/sex trafficking has almost stopped.

Democrats HATE that idea. ...... why ?
 
He wasn’t demanding troops to roll back tariffs. He’s backed himself into a corner
 
They can shut down Amerikkkans coming across.

Keep control on their side of the border. It is a start, as more negotiations happen.
 
The Mexican president backed down and begged Trump not to do it. He refused. In a day, she said "OK, I'll send troops to help you protect the border. He got what he wanted. No tariffs.

This is the Art of the deal and how you get what you deserve.
 
We'll open the border first chance we get, just so we can see you get mad about it. It's very entertaining.

Sure. BRING IT ON! Put the tariffs into effect immediately! Raise prices for US consumers and ignite runaway inflation. I can handle that because guess who voters will blame for the hit on their pocketbooks.....thats right, the MAGATS!
Do it now! More tariffs TODAY. EVEN MORE TOMORROW!
 
You did this.

How gullible are the MAGATS who think that MEXICAN TROOPS will apprehend MEXICAN CITIZENS trying to cross.They may apprehend a few for show, but for the most part they will turn their heads and claim they saw nothing as long as their palms are greased.
Get real.
 

Almost as hilarious as you entertaining the idea Mexico would conduct a military engagement against our forces.

What is President Trump going to implement to stop the flow of firearms across the border?. That was part of the pause agreement.
I have not found any specifics on it.
 
Oh look, Biden did this, all without trying to start a trade war.



Lol, MAGA is so gullible.
 
This feels like a publicity stunt more than anything. The Mexican army is hopelessly corrupt. Most of those soldiers are probably on the cartel payroll already. I doubt it will accomplish much to stem the flow of narcotics.
 
Except for the inconvenient fact his actions aren’t actually “protecting” anyone.
He is protecting us from the continued invasion of uneducated and impoverished immigrants, criminals and putting a serious damper on drug trafficking.

The Demonic-rats are huddled in the little rat holes eating cheese and drinking scotch, nail biting at how their cities and states will survive when their cash cows called illegals diminish into almost nothing. "How ill the schools and police and courts and welfare systems survive now" they are asking. "Our buddy donators at Walmart, The Dollar store, contractors are mad as hell and telling us they need help."
 
And lots of people actually sold a lot of shares this morning at a loss. Some with a really mighty loss.

Is that winning?
Could be, if you're trying to offset taxes.
 
When you're able to explain how to adequately secure 2000 miles of border, I'll listen. As it is a brief blip in numbers isn't a reliable predictor.

I knowwww. Like Mexico is going to go to war with us with their ragtag band of police who make $3.00an hour and all they can steal from tourists and the cartels.

nothing has changed - its been about stopping illegal drugs/human trafficking the entire time

Mexico is going to work with the USA - its a big win for Mexico and the USA - not a good win for Democrats and Cartels
 
Called it.

So did Mark Cuban.
