President Donald Trump warned that he will deploy the military to the southern U.S. border if Mexico doesn’t stop the flow of migrants from Central America, most of whom end up entering the United States illegally.

“I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught—and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!” he said in an Oct. 18 tweet.
