Publishes Breitbart op-ed warning "a country that cannot protect its borders will not last"

In a Breitbart essay, Trump urged the U.S. to cut off aid to Mexico over Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi's imprisonment, blasted Obama for fundraising instead of touring the border, and concluded that "a country that cannot protect its borders will not last," reinforcing his nationalist case for tariffs, deportations, and a wall.

"It's clear to me that a country that cannot protect its borders will not last." — Breitbart News op-ed, July 11, 2014
