President Donald Trump apparently took note of the chorus of concerns that arose from his conservative base regarding the recent omnibus bill, which allocated only $1.5 billion towards the border fortifications that he promised during the 2016 campaign.
Over the past week, the president warned against the arrival of the caravan of migrants that is en route from Honduras to the U.S., highlighted the priorities that he wants met in exchange for a deal on DACA Dreamers, and said that he would fortify the U.S.-Mexico border using the military.
On Tuesday, President Trump outlined his plan to militarize the border, saying,
In an earlier tweet, the president warned of the caravan:
Trump outlined the priorities that must be met by a deal with the Democrats on DACA Dreamers, saying that there must be a wall:
Finally, in a tweet that attracted a lot of media attention, Trump said that he would "stop [Mexico's] cash cow, NAFTA":

On Tuesday, President Trump outlined his plan to militarize the border, saying,
Until we can have a wall and proper security, we’re going to be guarding our border with the military. That's a big step, we really haven’t done that before, or certainly not very much before.
In an earlier tweet, the president warned of the caravan:
Honduras, Mexico and many other countries that the U.S. is very generous to, sends many of their people to our country through our WEAK IMMIGRATION POLICIES. Caravans are heading here. Must pass tough laws and build the WALL. Democrats allow open borders, drugs and crime!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 3, 2018
Trump outlined the priorities that must be met by a deal with the Democrats on DACA Dreamers, saying that there must be a wall:
DACA is dead because the Democrats didn’t care or act, and now everyone wants to get onto the DACA bandwagon... No longer works. Must build Wall and secure our borders with proper Border legislation. Democrats want No Borders, hence drugs and crime!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 2, 2018
Finally, in a tweet that attracted a lot of media attention, Trump said that he would "stop [Mexico's] cash cow, NAFTA":
Mexico is doing very little, if not NOTHING, at stopping people from flowing into Mexico through their Southern Border, and then into the U.S. They laugh at our dumb immigration laws. They must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 1, 2018
