"There won't be an invasion."

"I believe it's not going to happen."

We will not send military "to invade Mexico."

"There is no evidence that the U.S. is considering military action against Mexico or election interference."

"It [the idea of military strikes in Mexico] sounds good, but it's not real."

"Trump's history with this threat [to invade Mexico] suggests we should take it more seriously."

President Trump is committed to "using the full might of the United States special operations to take them [drug cartels] out [of Mexico]."

An invasion of Mexico is "something I could actually see Trump doing."

"If it takes military action [against Mexico], that's what we'll have to do."

US sending troops into Mexico "could happen."

Will the USA Invade Mexico?
