Per CBS News, Mexico agreed to up the national guard presence along the Guatemalan border and crack down on human trafficking. The deal also includes asylum seekers waiting in Mexico for their hearings.
Republicans, strongly opposed to the tariffs, have been pushing Trump to make a deal by threatening a veto-proof vote to nullify Trump’s national emergency declaration.
He created the problem, then he came to the rescue the situation. I did stock up on avocados and guacamole, they won’t go to waste.
And of course when the first judge blocks him from kicking people out of the country who have made it to American soil, he’s gonna shit bricks on twitter.
“This is being done to greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States. Details of the agreement will be released shortly by the State Department. Thank you!”
As soon as someone can make up some details of an “agreement” that won;t do squat. Fuck you!

And, whaddya know? They went away.
Party at susanintheoc’s! Anyway who didn’t see this coming, with the real GOP powers harrumphing that little Donnie should stop splashing in the koi pond and chasing the ocelot and settle down and behave his spoiled-ass self since it was almost dinner time. So at the first harrumph he did what he—everyone?—ALWAYS DOES.
