President Donald Trump had every resource at his disposal to (1) build a proper wall right across the southern border, not a fence, (2) put Mexico and Central America on notice about caravans and their consequences, (3) stop migrant invasion with the help of the National Guard, (4) deport illegals rather than shipping them to other states, and talk about shipping them to sanctuary cities, and (5) include the migrant invasion issue within the trade deal with Mexico.Invasion want everyone to call it, the situation is a threat
He had deliberately broken his promise to those who supported him. As a result he has promoted the agenda of the Democrats. So what does this tell us?
That's pretty extreme, but you have a point.That he's the antichrist I guess. He's been in office roughly 28 months. If anything crazy happens in his 42nd month then I guess we'll know for sure

As far as taking the illegal immigrants to Florida, what was the reason behind that?
I assumed he did it to overburden the social supports of sanctuary cities. But the ramifications of having them settled there and ready to vote are much worse for a continued Republican presidency.

The point is that Mr. Trump DID NOT have to go to the Senate or Congress for cash. The Pentagon recently re-allocated 1.5 billion dollars from the Afghanistan budget for the wall.The Senate kept voting down the border wall. President Trump wasn't asking for trillions.

And that proves that Mr. Trump could have made a serious effort to raise the money through the funds already allocated for defense and national security. He said he would cut off financial aid to Pakistan some time back. We don't know exactly what was done. He said he would cut off aid to Central America. We don't know if that was actually accomplished.
Since the border wall is a national security issue, and the president's first priority is national security, all he had to do was to divert the billions of dollars being directed to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Central America etc to build that wall. On top of that, he could have applied a small tariff on all goods coming from Mexico and Central America and allocated that strictly for the wall. There were several billion dollars available. He said he would make Mexico pay for that wall. We don't know if his trade deal actually had that stipulation.
Trump already knew all of this, and he already knew about the hostility of Congress and the Senate. But his mandate as President gave him all the authority and resources under administration costs.
