Migrants in Mexico who were hoping to come to the U.S. are adjusting to a new and uncertain reality after President Donald Trump began cracking down on border security.

The US-Mexico border is effectively closed off to migrants seeking asylum in the United States within hours of President Donald Trump taking office, an extraordinary departure from previous protocols that has left many concerned migrants in limbo.

The stakes are particularly high for Texas and other border states, where trade with Mexico is worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year.

The president's pledge to slap 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico could see the prices of goods soar for U.S. consumers.

Part of a legal description of a boundary line of Dixie County, for instance, says it goes "southerly down the thread of the main stream of said Suwannee River to the Gulf of Mexico; thence along said Gulf of Mexico, including the waters of said gulf within the jurisdiction of the State of Florida, to the mouth of the Steinhatchee River."

President Trump's executive order renames the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, cast your vote on which name you prefer.

After President Donald Trump on Monday issued an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf America, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis jumped on the idea.

Mexican authorities have begun constructing giant tent shelters in the city of Ciudad Juarez to prepare for a possible influx of Mexicans deported under U.S. President Donald Trump's promised mass deportations.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will begin deploying as many as 1,500 active duty troops to help secure the southern border in the coming days, the White House confirmed on Wednesday, putting in motion plans President Trump laid out in executive orders shortly after he took office to crack down on immigration.

The troops will assist border patrol agents with logistics, transportation, and barrier construction, tasks they have handled during previous deployments.
