Mexicans want to close the border with the US because of Covid-19 and this is the only response you need

Mexico wants Americans to stop crossing the border because of fears they will bring the coronavirus with them after a big increase in the number of cases in neighbouring Arizona.

Towns in northern Mexico are pleading to restrict cross-border movement to stop tourists and travellers bringing in Covid-19 from the US.

And there was no shortage of responses on Twitter.

Mexico closed its border with the US citing fear that Americans would bring disease.

Pretty soon they’ll build their own wall and make us pay for it.

But the best response was surely this one.

I think we should call this wall the Irony Curtain. https://t.co/LhGlFf2RCZ
