CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 27, 2024
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP HAS ANNOUNCED HE WILL ISSUE AN EXECUTIVE ORDER UPON TAKING OFFICE JANUARY 20 THAT WILL IMPOSE A TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT TARIFF ON MEXICO AND CANADA IF THEY DON’T CURTAIL ILLEGAL ALIENS COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY. THAT SHOULD GET THEIR ATTENTION. IT DID DURING TRUMP’S FIRST TERM.
WHAT MAY BE THE LAST STRAW FOR MANY WAS THE PICTURE OF THAT TWO-YEAR-OLD GIRL AT THE BORDER BY HERSELF. THE STORY WAS ON FOX AND PROBABLY NOWHERE ELSE. SHE SAID SHE IS FROM EL SALVADOR AND LOOKING FOR HER PARENTS IN THE U.S. NO TWO-YEAR-OLD UNACOMMPANIED CHILD COULD MAKE HER WAY FROM EL SALVADOR TO THE BORDER BY HERSELF. BUT SHE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE OPEN BORDER POLICIES OF THE BIDEN-HARRIS-MAYORKIS ADMINISTRATION.
ANOTHER CARAVAN OF MIGRANTS IS ON THEIR WAY TO THE MEXICO BORDER. PERHAPS THE THREAT OF TARIFFS WILL PERSUADE THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT TO STOP THEM. WHEN THAT HAPPENS – AND IT WILL ONE WAY OR ANOTHER – FINISH THE WALL, DEPORT THE CRIMINALS AND OTHERS AND LET’S TAKE CARE OF OUR COUNTRY AGAIN. I’M CAL THOMAS.
