He doesn't bluff and world leaders who aren't American Democrats know this. If Trump closes the southern border that means a lot more disruption to Mexico's economy than it does for us. And it doesn't matter the criticism that befalls him, he's already borne it all. More criticism, more flipping out is just more of the same. And he's criticized no matter what.
They said he wouldn’t pull out of the Paris Climate Treaty, he did.
They said he wouldn’t withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, he did.
They said he wouldn’t implement global Steel/Aluminum tariffs, he did.
They said he wouldn’t dare withdraw from the G7 agreement in Canada, he did.
They said he couldn’t get Canada to agree to a new NAFTA agreement, he did.
They said his economic plans wouldn’t deliver 3% GDP growth, they are.
They said he couldn’t pull-off a unity accord between North and South Korea, he did.
....All will stay in Mexico. If for any reason it becomes necessary, we will CLOSE our Southern Border. There is no way that the United States will, after decades of abuse, put up with this costly and dangerous situation anymore!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 24, 2018
Migrants at the Southern Border will not be allowed into the United States until their claims are individually approved in court. We only will allow those who come into our Country legally. Other than that our very strong policy is Catch and Detain. No “Releasing” into the U.S...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 24, 2018
That's why Washington Times is reporting Mexico will asylum seekers as they wait U.S. court dates.
Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Mexico’s president-elect, plans to implement a policy known as “Remain in Mexico” after taking office next month, his top domestic policy official told The Washington Post.
Called a “short-term solution” by Ms. Sánchez Cordero, the pending policy change is expected to earn praise north of the border from President Trump, who has vowed to reform federal immigration policies since launching his 2016 campaign.

They thought they had him over a barrel with this horde.
Wrong again.
Trump is the gift that keeps on giving. The right way.
but - we are a nation of racists if we don't simply let eveyone in. let the world in!
What could go wrong?
If you want to see just how cool a guy Donald Trump is, take a look at this.
Ed, your link is hilarious.
So now our future composition as a nation is at the mercy of Mexico? Great. With the Wall up we wouldn't have to give a fig what Mexico's next policy shift - based on a change of corazon - could be.
Mexico has already denied the original reporting.

Obviously the situation is fluid.
ric, the deal is part of Trump's strategy. Take some of the pressure off us in exchange for some benificence.
The more razor wire the Army strings, the fewer Indians cross the border. Giving Mexico a little quid pro quo just sweetens the deal all around.
This Migrant Treaty is another Dr Evil/UN production and Trump is handling it the way he handled NoKo and Red China - get as many people whose ox is gored on your side and present a united front. The Mexicans don't like these people any more than we do.
PS From Gateway, a sequel. Mexico will deport 500 of them for this stunt.
