WILL TRUMP ORDER BORDER CLOSING FRIDAY AT MCALLEN?

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Got a dental appointment in Matamoros of Progreso?

Going to buy inexpensive prescription drugs at drug stores there as well? Or perhaps you work over the river at some of the maquiladoras.

The word is, if you have business to do there, do it the sooner the better because there are signs from Washington that portend a diminishing window of opportunity to do all those things.

The scuttlebutt wire has been burning from Washington D.C. to the Rio Grande Valley that President Donald Trump will come to McAllen on Friday and announce some form of border closing. Whether it will be a closing of Mexican products or produce, manufactured goods for automobiles here, or whether it will be limited to people crossing either way, is not known.

Some mass media outlets say they have heard from their Washington offices to expect that kind of announcement if and when Trump alights at the McAllen airport.

So if you have kids coming to attend Brownsville schools, or if you work in management in some plant in Matamoros, Rio Bravo or Reynosa, it will surely affect you and others like you.

Now we can only sit back and see whether all these signs portend the coming of some Trumpian draconian act for which he has developed a penchant as he slides into the second half of his presidency.

Why are the democrats and republicans so quiet? Where is Vela or Cruz on this issue. They would rather have this problem grow and not work together to solve it yet, who is living with the consequences. people along the border.
