I'm not sure how this will prevent illegal immigration, but Jimmy Carter again proves what a terrible president he was by giving it away. If you were going to give things away, why not Puerto Rico? 😂
Going back a ways on memory, part of the reason we gave the canal back to Panama was because it is tremendously expensive to maintain, especially for a country other than Panama. Economics from then and now might have changed and certainly its worth looking at, but I don't know in the end if taking it back makes sense. There is also the question with regard to the land being in Panama and not the US, so what rights do we really have.
I assume what Trump is doing is putting this out there simply to negotiate down the costs/fees and ultimately not actually change anything else.....which could be a good move.

Trump knows what he is doing...and I will gess it is NOT trying to take the canal back. That was his first salvo of negotiations. He just wants better prices for our ships. We should pass for FREE since we have immanent Domaine rights(that also may be what his message is)
Agreed. And Shift is right. BUT if it is strategic for us to manage, then perhaps we will.
This is another thing that I love about Trump.
