A “Fox & Friends” report apparent agitated Donald Trump on Easter Sunday morning, causing the president to lash out against Democrats, Dreamers and Mexican officials before walking into church with his wife Melania.
Away for another weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump tweeted “NO MORE DACA DEAL” because “these big flows of people are all trying to take advantage of DACA” minutes after Fox News aired a segment with the headline: “CARAVAN OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HEADED TO U.S.”
Trump went on to demand that the GOP pass tougher laws to deal with the border and that Mexico “must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA.”
Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous. “Caravans” coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!

Mexico is doing very little, if not NOTHING, at stopping people from flowing into Mexico through their Southern Border, and then into the U.S. They laugh at our dumb immigration laws. They must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL!

These big flows of people are all trying to take advantage of DACA. They want in on the act!

“Mexico has got to help us at the border, and a lot of people are coming in because they want to take advantage of DACA,” Trump said as he stopped to speak with reporters outside of a church.
“We’re going to have to really see, and they had a great chance — the Democrats blew it,” he added. “But Mexico has got to help us at the border. They flow right through Mexico, they send them into the United States. It can’t happen that way anymore.”
Trump has previously invoked “illegal immigrants” who “pour into our nation” to call on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to employ the so-called nuclear option.
Great to see how hard Republicans are fighting for our Military and Safety at the Border. The Dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked. If stalemate continues, Republicans should go to 51% (Nuclear Option) and vote on real, long term budget, no C.R.’s!

McConnell, however, has said the nuclear option is something he is not willing to consider.
