Donald Trump again threatened to close the border with Mexico

US President Donald Trump reiterated his threat Thursday close the border with Mexico, that he accused of doing nothing "to stop immigration to the United States.

"Mexico does nothing to help stop the flow of immigrants illegal for our country. All are conversations and not actions, "Trump said on Twitter: "I can close the southern border!"

"In the same way, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador took our money for years, and they do not do anything, the Democrats do not care about these bad laws," he wrote.

This is not the first time Trump has made such threats. In December, in the early days of the closing of the longest federal government in the United States, he promised to close the border "completely" if Congress did not approve $ 5.7 billion to build a wall.

Lawmakers refused and Trump declared national emergency overcome the obstacle of Congress and unlock the funds needed to carry out one of its main campaign promises of building a border wall.

This measure led to the condemnation of his Democratic rivals and his Republican coreligionists. Opponents accused him of abuse of authority and exaggerating the problem of the border, while creating a dangerous precedent.

After weeks of negotiations between the defense portfolio and the Department of Homeland Security, responsible for border security, the Pentagon announced Monday night its decision to divert $ 1 billion to erect 90 kilometers of new border wall, build and improve roads and install lights.
