Trump Calls Out First Invite Dems Sent South Of The Border After Midterm Sweep

President Donald Trump called out Democrats and threatened to immediately double tariffs on Mexico if the country fails to stop large caravans of migrants barreling toward the United States. 

In a Thursday morning statement, Trump said large migrant caravans were forming in Central America, accusing countries of seizing on the Democrats’ midterm blowout to foment an invasion into America. 

“Here we go again! With the perceived loss by the Republicans in the Midterms — I WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT — the INVASION of our Country is taking place again. Huge CARAVANS are forming and beginning their illegal march through Mexico. Many of the people in these Caravans are those that various countries don’t want — ‘Send them to America,’ they say — But they will not be accepted!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump also called on Mexico’s leadership to act immediately, warning of fresh economic retaliation. 

“MEXICO MUST STOP THEM, NOW, and if they do not do so, the Tariffs on Mexico will be IMMEDIATELY DOUBLED,” he said. 

Trump said he also informed Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa, the leftist Democrat who pulled off a stunning upset against Governor Greg Abbott, the Republican incumbent. 

“MEXICO, THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, THE VERY LIBERAL NEW GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, OUR GREAT BORDER PATROL, & ICE, HAVE BEEN SO INFORMED” 

“There will be no leniency!” Trump added. 

The migrant caravan is moving north through Mexico, hoping to encounter more relaxed immigration policies after the last week’s blue tsunami shook up the immigration debate in Washington. About 2,000 people have reached southern Mexico and are on the march to the U.S. border, The Daily Wire reported. 

“We know that the Democrats are not going to let a point as big as the Latino vote be lost. And I think they are going to give us the opportunity to reach our new homes, our new opportunities,” Cesar Sandoval, a Nicaraguan migrant, told CNN.

But Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, warned Wednesday that federal authorities will not be “giving one inch” to illegal migrants in the caravan.

“Congress may be more blue, Texas may be more blue, but the White House is red, bright red,” he said during an interview on Fox News.

“These caravans can come to the border all they want; they’re not going to be released into the United States,” he said. “They’re going to be turned around or prosecuted, then turned around because we will charge them with a crime.”

The administration’s hard-line position comes just days after Trump faced intense backlash from core supporters after suggesting he was willing to cut a deal with the incoming Democratic majorities on immigration. 

In a “60 Minutes” interview that aired on Sunday, the president said his administration’s deportation raids may have gone too far.

“I think it was too tough. I think it might be too tough, yeah. I think ultimately that hurt me,” he said.

Trump added that he would “love” to make a deal with Democrats. That bargain, he said, would extend some form of legal status to non-criminal illegal immigrants who are working and paying taxes. 

But immigration hawks accused the White House of flirting with amnesty. Ryan Gidursky, a GOP political consultant, said a bipartisan deal caving on illegal immigration “will kill the party.”

Administration officials, including the president, then clarified where the administration stands on immigration policy. In a follow-up interview, Trump insisted deportations of the “worst of the worst” would continue and made another promise to his base. 

“There’s no amnesty. … My policy hasn’t changed.”
