Trump threatens to close border with Mexico next week

Must read

Donald Trump has threatened to close the US southern border, or large sections of it, next week if Mexico does not halt illegal immigration at once.

“If Mexico doesn’t immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States through our Southern Border, I will be CLOSING the Border, or large sections of the Border, next week,” the president said in a tweet.

“This would be so easy for Mexico to do, but they just take our money and ‘talk’.”

Democratic and Republican legislators have fought over whether there is a “crisis” at the border, particularly amid Mr Trump’s push for a border wall, which he claims will solve immigration problems.

The president called on Congress to immediately change what he said were weak US immigration laws, which he blamed on Democrats.
