Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Trump Threatens to Close U.S.-Mexico Border

HeadlineApr 01, 2019

Trump also threatened to close the U.S.-Mexico border. He spoke to reporters Friday.

President Donald Trump: “We have right now two big caravans coming up from Guatemala, massive caravans, walking right through Mexico. So, Mexico is tough. They can stop them, but they chose not to. Now, are they going to stop them? And if they don’t stop them, we’re closing the border.”

Mexico’s Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard responded to the news by tweeting, “Mexico doesn’t act based on threats.” Residents and workers on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border have blasted Trump’s announcement, warning it would cause massive disruptions to trade and daily life.
