Donald Trump Jr. Torches The Dems: ‘Mexico Doing More To Protect America Than Democrats’

This Monday, Donald Trump Jr. blasted the Democratic Party as news broke that the Mexican government was deploying thousands of troops to the U.S.- Mexico to help stop the flood of illegal immigrants entering the United States.

“Mexico doing more to protect America than Democrats,” Trump Jr. tweeted. “The Dems have lost their way… they are not your grandfather’s Democrat party any longer and haven’t been for far too long.”

Trump Jr.’s comments came in response to Mexican Secretary of Defense Luis Sandoval saying on Monday: “In the northern part of the country, we have deployed a total of almost 15,000 troops composed of National Guard elements and military units.”

CNN’s reporter Nick Valencia elaborated on the announcement Sandoval: “Mexico has deployed almost 15,000 troops to the US-Mexico border to curve migration flow. An additional ~2,000 National Guard elements have also been deployed across the country’s southern border with Guatemala & Belize.: MX Secretary of Defense Luis Sandoval.”

“I have never seen this kind of cooperation from Mexico before in terms of immigration.” Valencia added.

Rep. Mark Meadows also weighed in on the subject, posting a tweet saying: “If true, what a message to skeptics who repeated talking points that @realDonaldTrump’s agreement with Mexico was an empty piece of paper. And perhaps more importantly: what a message to Washington Democrats, who are now being outdone by MEXICO on securing America’s own border.”

Matt Wolking, President Trump’s 2020 Deputy Director of Communications for Rapid Response, also added: “Shout-out to all the members of the media who said it was a blank piece of paper!”
