Yes, you require a blood test, then delay taking that, which leads to the question - what do we do with all those people until you draw the blood? Do they go to Mexico? But AMLO has said no. So do we shut down all border traffic until AMLO relents? Sweeten the pot till he changes his mind?

I think he thinks of it as a spigot you can turn off - and those who don't agree with him aren't clever enough to see what he sees. So he proposes to make serial administrative changes, throwing multiple pretextual road blocks up, possibly throwing the trade at the border into chaos, and use the leverage to shut off the spigot.

Enquiring minds want to know the details of this fabulous plan.

LOL. You were one of the ones that WANTED to hear administrative proposals to help stem the tide. I've now come up with several.

And yes, several of your compatriots either forgot that or just don't understand the nature of high level interactions between nations or how high stakes negotiations with lots of variables play out.

For the record: this exercise has taught me how diabolically clever some of our laws are from the point of view of creating situations where we as a nation are held hostage by our amnesty policy. I strongly disagree that walls aren't the answer; and by "walls" I mean enhanced border security using natural barriers in places where you can't build a physical one.
