President Trump warned Tuesday that the drones favored by Democrats won’t be enough to stop the next caravan that’s forming in Mexico, and said only a wall can ensure these migrants are kept out of the U.S.
“A big new Caravan is heading up to our Southern Border from Honduras,” Trump tweeted. “Tell Nancy and Chuck that a drone flying around will not stop them. Only a Wall will work. Only a Wall, or Steel Barrier, will keep our Country safe! Stop playing political games and end the Shutdown!”

Several caravans have formed south of Mexico and headed up to the southern U.S. border. Trump has moved U.S. troops to the border to help border agents deal with the rush, as he has continued to push for construction of a border wall.
Fox News reported Tuesday morning that a new caravan of about 500 migrants has formed in Honduras, and is headed to the border.
Some of the caravans have started with a few hundred people and grown into groups of several thousand as they move toward the U.S.
Trump has been pushing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. D-N.Y., to negotiate a compromise that will allow some of the wall to be built, but they have refused to consider any compromise.
Trump added in a later tweet that people are starting to see the need for the wall, and said if Democrats don’t negotiate, they will be seen as the “Party of Crime.”
Polls are now showing that people are beginning to understand the Humanitarian Crisis and Crime at the Border. Numbers are going up fast, over 50%. Democrats will soon be known as the Party of Crime. Ridiculous that they don’t want Border Security!
