Trump on Friday threatened to close the U.S-Mexico border next week if Mexico does not stop undocumented immigrants from coming into the United States
Still, the Trump administration in recent days has ratcheted up its argument that illegal immigration is at crisis levels, and the president himself has described the issue in increasingly personal terms.
Kevin McAleenan, the commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, on Wednesday claimed the situation at the southern border is at “the breaking point” and his agency is “reluctantly” releasing migrants because of overcrowding at detention facilities. "The DEMOCRATS have given us the weakest immigration laws anywhere in the World. Mexico has the strongest, & they make more than $100 Billion a year on the U.S. Therefore, CONGRESS MUST CHANGE OUR WEAK IMMIGRATION LAWS NOW, & Mexico must stop illegals from entering the U.S." Trump also tweeted on Friday.
