President Trump took to Twitter early Wednesday morning to criticize the United States' "very weak" border laws, blaming congressional Democrats for their existence. It's the latest salvo in Mr. Trump's recent series of attacks on immigration.

"Our Border Laws are very weak while those of Mexico & Canada are very strong," Mr. Trump tweeted at 7:19 a.m. ET. "Congress must change these Obama era, and other, laws NOW! The Democrats stand in our way - they want people to pour into our country unchecked....CRIME! We will be taking strong action today."

Illegal immigration, particularly that originating from the southern border, has been one of Mr. Trump's signature issues since his early days in the political sphere. But recently, the president has warned of "caravans" of people are approaching the U.S.-Mexico border with intent to cross into the country.

On Monday, he tweeted that "Mexico has the absolute power not to let these large 'Caravans' of people enter their country."

45* (i.e. spanky) has no clue about this 'caravan' he's ranting about. Of course this is what happens when he only gets information from fox and ignores his own intelligence and law enforcement.

Donald has had over a year for his republican majority Congress to fix said laws.

2. We can expect more of these self-created "crises" as Mueller continues to home in on Trump.

I expect him to fire off a nuke over a Pacific atoll, just to make the point how big his button is -- and change the subject from Stormy, the Russians, and every other failing of himself and his peons.
