‘GOOD’: Republican Lawmakers Praise POTUS on Migration Deal With Mexico as He Halts Tariff Plans

President Donald Trump brought an end to the threat to place tariffs on Mexico as the start day loomed, bringing about a deal for Mexico to help curb the flow of immigrants trying to come to the U.S. southern border.

The president announced late Friday that he had reached an agreement with Mexico, causing the tariffs to be “indefinitely suspended.”

“This is being done to greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States,” Trump said.

No tariffs: GOOD

Mexico helping us with illegal immigration: GOOD

Ok Mr. President, good day of winning. https://t.co/4BoaPAw1ia

Tonight’s deal also puts us in a better position to make USMCA a reality, which would produce real wins for American workers and businesses. I urge Pelosi to swiftly bring it to the floor so we can grow an even stronger American economy while also making our border more secure.

The Mexican government will be deploying more troops to secure their southern border and are willing to help with the unprecedented abuse of US asylum laws by housing asylum seekers in Mexico, not the US.
