President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday in an attempt to keep the focus on immigration as a main issue ahead of the midterm elections.

“Hard to believe that with thousands of people from south of the Border, walking unimpeded toward our country in the form of large caravans, that the Democrats won’t approve legislation that will allow laws for the protection of our country. Great Midterm issue for Republicans!” Trump wrote.

Trump's message came one day after he tweeted threats at Central American countries over migrants arriving from those nations.

“We have today informed the countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador that if they allow their citizens, or others, to journey through their borders and up to the United States, with the intention of entering our country illegally, all payments made to them will STOP (END)!,” Trump declared.

To make his point abundantly clear, Trump sent out another tweet on Wednesday providing his strategic advice to the GOP for winning the upcoming elections.

"Republicans must make the horrendous, weak and outdated immigration laws, and the Border, a part of the Midterms!," the president urged.
