4/3/19: President Trump threatens, via tweet, to take drastic action if he can’t have his way and build the Great Wall of Trump. “Congress must get together and immediately eliminate the loopholes at the Border!” he warns. “If no action, Border, or large sections of Border, will close. This is a National Emergency!”
Joshua Bolten, speaking for the Business Roundtable, joins the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and pretty much every other trade organization in freaking out:
Shutting down the U.S-Mexico
border or slowing cross-border trade would severely damage the operations
of American businesses and hurt American workers.
Closing the border would back up
thousands of trucks, impact billions of dollars of goods each day, cripple
supply chains and stall U.S. manufacturing and business activity.
Other than that – yeah, closing the border! What a great
plan. (See: 4/4/19.)
