Donald Trump threatened on Thursday to seal America's southern border with military force unless Mexico intervenes to stop the flow of illegal immigrants traveling to the U.S. from Central America. 'I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught – and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!' The new numbers also come as a wave of immigrants is on the march from Central America. 'Republicans must make the horrendous, weak and outdated immigration laws, and the Border, a part of the Midterms!,' he added. Immigration is an issue the president has consistently used as a hammer in his dealing with Congress and Democrats.
