Trump on US border control: 'We may have to close up our country'

President Trump lambasted U.S. immigration policies Saturday, stating that the U.S. may have to "close up" its borders.

Speaking at a business roundtable in Cleveland, Trump acknowledged that officials are working to repair certain areas of the nation's border controls, but said the U.S. needs "much more money."

"We may have to close up our country to get this straight," he said, but did not offer more details on the logistics.

"You can't allow people to pour into our country like they're doing," Trump went on. "If we don't have borders, you don't have a country," he said, chiding Democrats for "open border" policies.

a little kid. He is IMO following Hitler's playbook. And IMO far too many Americans are too stupid and/or propagandized to comprehend what is happening to the US.

of put a freeze on ALL immigration, legal or otherwise.

Get ready for it, folks. It's happening.

I'm sure the Norwegians can still immigrate here if they'd like. Not that they would though.

he's talking about putting a halt immigration to this country indefinitely.

You're probably rightt though, he's talking about a government shutdown. Trump is so stupid, and has such a poor command of the English language, it's always a challenge deciphering what the hell he's talking about.
