Fox News is saying that the tariff “threat” has made Canada and Mexico to act on stopping the illegal immigration happening at the borders and that’s how Trump gets the job done, even before he is in office. I have not fact checked so I don’t know how much of it is a coincidence and how much the Canadian and Mexican government are freaking out about drug and illegal immigration control.
Mexico has already acted to reduce illegal immigrants entering the USA over its border by 76%, while Trump was lying about the problem being worse. None of it has anything to do with Trump, and he's just making effective cooperative action more difficult with his bluster and threats.

Illegal immigration into the USA from Canada has increased but the numbers remain very small. Trump is lying when he claims it's a big problem.

Fox Entertainment doesn't know shit about the acts of Canada, Mexico's, or even the U.S. actions pertaining to drugs or immigration. Theyve proven it over and over. They just gargle whatever bullshit they get the most money for and try not to puke while word vomiting it at the populous.
The only truth would be that fox is changing the narrative. No matter what actually happens.
