Trump: “Massive immigration procession is invading the U.S.… Tariffs will double if Mexico doesn’t stop it”

U.S. President Donald Trump said that a large-scale immigration convoy has formed from Mexico to the U.S. and warned that he would double tariffs on Mexico if it was not stopped.

In an article posted on the social media Truth Social on the 12th (local time), President Trump said, “While the Republican Party is perceived to have lost in the midterm elections, the invasion of our country is happening again.”

“A huge caravan of migrants is forming and is beginning an illegal march through Mexico,” Trump said, adding, “Many of the people in these caravans of migrants are people that many countries do not want.”

“Mexico must stop them now, or tariffs on Mexico will be doubled immediately,” Trump said. “Mexico, the governor of Texas, the new, very progressive governor of Texas, our great Border Patrol, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been notified.”

President Trump also criticized the Democratic Party, saying that it is led by "a group of the most corrupt and anti-American political leaders and politicians in the history of our country, and even in the history of the world," and that "in order to escape the large-scale corruption that occurred in Democratic-supporting states, the Democratic Party repeatedly claims that the Trump administration is corrupt."

“It (the allegation that the Trump administration is corrupt) is a short, sharp political phrase that they have maliciously used again and again to undo the massive and unprecedented theft that has occurred in Minnesota, California and other Democratic-leaning states across the country,” Trump said.

“The Democrats are corrupt and evil, and I am the exact opposite of them,” he said. “Republicans, fight hard or you will have no country left.”

President Trump said, "The Republican-led Senate should no longer be a place where bills are sent to die," and pointed out, "The House's failure to pass the 'Save America Act' (a bill to strengthen voter identification checks) sent to the Senate five times dealt a fatal blow to the Republican Party in the midterm elections."
