There's not a whole lot of choice. Congress refuses to fund the border needs to process the waves of people. So. that leaves exactly what? What is the administration supposed to do?
You read the press and all they offer is one stupid remark after the next, unmasked attacks on the president, that's all they care about, use everything to attack Trump, they won't publish a single decent looking picture of the president, it is very 8th grade level nastiness. Do they ever report what is going on? Not really, they lie about what is going on, report whatever falsehood makes for the best attack on the president. They obviously do not give a damn about the nation or serving the citizenry, so don't expect to hear any solutions from the press. I read where a former ambassador writes, "these nations have no more power to stop their citizens from leaving than Trump has to stop Americans from leaving". That is pure bullsh*t. The president was saying "stop the caravans" ... and they could easily be doing that. The caravans are illegally travelling through Mexico, breaking Mexican laws, so enough with the lies, Mexico could stop them easily and deport them back to their nations of origin. But if Mexico can get away with doing nothing, they will.
But if Trump closes our southern border, that leaves those caravans on Mexican soil... see that? ... it forces them to deal with them. So Trump is doing the only intelligent thing to do... and it will work. But no one in the press wants to see anything but disaster for Trump, so they refuse to report honestly and they sure as hell are not going to lay the blame for the humanitarian crisis on the people who caused it: Congress.
Then I read where idiot journalists go off on a missive, writing entire columns about how awful it would be to close the border to trade... as if Trump ever said anything remotely close to that. The press is just interested in writing something - anything - bad about Trump. Fictitious articles misquoting the president or twisting what his words obviously meant... that's what they do, they never report the truth, even when it is as obvious as the hatred in their hearts.
We have a national emergency at the southern border. Know what Constantinople did when the crusades arrived? They closed the gates. Know what Obama would have done in the exact same situation? He would close the border, any leader would, you have no choice. Close the border and keep it closed until Mexico agrees to stop these caravans. (Duh)
