President Trump is again calling on Congress to pass legislation addressing illegal immigration to secure the nation’s borders.
The president said the U.S. spends billions of dollars a year on illegal immigration, but that will not continue adding Democrats must vote to pass strong, but fair laws.

The United States has been spending Billions of Dollars a year on Illegal Immigration. This will not continue. Democrats must give us the votes to pass strong (but fair) laws. If not, we will be forced to play a much tougher hand.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen echoed his comments, while touring the first completed section of the president’s 30 foot high border wall in Southern California.
“This should not be a partisan issue,” said Nielsen. It seems that many in Congress are currently suffering from amnesia. In 2006, Congress passed the Secure Fence Act with broad bipartisan support. Border security is national security and it is vital to our mission of protecting the homeland.”
She also commented on a possible executive order to address the migrant caravan, saying the administration is reviewing all legal options and everything is on the table.
This comes as two migrant caravans, totaling nearly 10,000 people, are currently advancing through Mexico to the U.S.
