the white house, thank you. we are digging deeper on the threats and we are joined by a white house correspondent for the guardian and another reporter for "the washington post" and both are cnn political analysts. sabrina, i'll start with you. this is absurd, isn't it? the president punishing mexico for immigration, something that mexico may not necessarily be equipped to handle and he is doing it at a time when he is trying to get a trade deal he just spent two years working on gratified. does the timing of this make sense? >> it certainly doesn't make out. sarah pointed out this came against the counsel of the president's own advisers. when you step back and look the way he has approached immigration, he often put moves towards these very abrupt moves and tactics that are more designed to perhaps chin up support with his base, that he is being tough on mexico. remember he also threatened to close down the u.s./mexico
