President Trump said Monday he has “instructed” Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen not to allow “large caravans of people” into the U.S. as a group of Central American migrants starts to reach the border, calling the situation a “disgrace.”
“Despite the Democrat inspired laws on Sanctuary Cities and the Border being so bad and one sided, I have instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security not to let these large Caravans of people into our Country. It is a disgrace. We are the only Country in the World so naïve! WALL,” Trump tweeted early Monday.
The president’s directive came as a group of about 50 Central American migrants who left southern Mexico in March reportedly reached the U.S. border, planning to seek asylum. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, asylum seekers must “demonstrate [they] have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution due to” five factors: race, religion, nationalist, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion
A spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment on when the president directed Nielsen to stop allowing caravans into the country, and what other policies they would be practicing as hundreds of migrants are reportedly expected in the coming days.
“Mexico, whose laws on immigration are very tough, must stop people from going through Mexico and into the U.S. We may make this a condition of the new NAFTA Agreement. Our Country cannot accept what is happening! Also, we must get Wall funding fast,” Trump tweeted again.
The Trump administration has been in negotiations with Mexico and Canada over the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) for months, efforting renegotiation for the agreement that the president has said has killed jobs in the U.S.
Pompeo’s confirmation hearing is set for Monday afternoon, but seemingly lacks support for a positive vote from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. If left unconfirmed, it would be the first time since 1925 the committee voted against a president’s nominee as the nation’s top diplomat.

If McCain was already dead and a replacement was named Pompeo would be voted in.
Rand Paul is his usual..
Dems are so much obstructionists they uniformly vote against Pompeo despite his already shown diplomatic skills.
I don't know how you stop the caravans from seeking asylum without Mexican help
What diplomatic skills has Pompeo shown?
Coming to the border and requesting asylum, is not entering the country. They should have gone to Mira Lago. Trump would have hired them cheap to work there.
