President Trump said Thursday he intends to take executive action next week to end the abuse of the U.S. asylum system, a plan that could include massive tent cities at the southern border aimed at holding migrants indefinitely and making it more difficult for them to remain in the country.
But Trump offered few other details during remarks at the White House where he reiterated unsubstantiated claims he has made in recent weeks that a caravan of migrants from Central America, traveling north through Mexico by foot, represents a national security threat. He painted the group, which includes many families with children, as dangerous and akin to an invasion.
The presidents remarks, carried live on cable news, came just days before Tuesdays midterm elections, the latest bid by Trump to make immigration the top campaign issue.
Trump said the emergency steps he plans to take would protect the United States against what he characterized as rampant fraud that threatens to overwhelm the nations immigration system.
The president offered no legal rationale for his plan, and he brushed off questions about the legality of some of the methods he suggested could be employed, such as detaining families indefinitely or refusing migrants an immigration court hearing.
