Trump To Migrants: ‘Can’t Take You. Our Country Is Full’

US President, Donald Trump, speaking at a roundtable on the southern border this Friday, said the immigration system is full, regardless of whether the individuals seeking to come into the US are seeking asylum or not.

“The system is full. We can’t take you anymore. Whether it’s asylum. Whether it’s anything you want. It’s illegal immigration,” Trump said.

“Can’t take you anymore. Can’t take you. Our country is full… Can’t take you anymore, I’m sorry. So turn around. That’s the way it is.”

Trump also claimed that “close to 400 miles” of border wall will be completed within the next two years.

The President said his administration has made progress in its push to define the situation at the border as “an absolute emergency.”

“I see some of our biggest opponents over the last two days have said it really is an emergency, they can’t believe what’s happening. Part of it is because of the fact that the country is doing so well. Part of it is a scam. People want to come in. They shouldn’t be coming in. They shouldn’t be coming in,” he said.

The President called his one-year warning on a southern border closure “fake news.”

“Somebody said it will take a year. No, it won’t take a year. It’ll take a day. They wrote a lot of fake news. I said in a year,” Trump said.

“Well the tariffs will work, number one, but what will really work is closing our border. We hope we don’t have to do that, but I’ll do it because ultimately the security of our nation is the most important thing.”

What Trump said Thursday: He threatened to slap tariffs on automobiles made in Mexico and close the US-Mexico border if the country didn’t stop “massive amounts of drugs” coming into the US within one year.”

“We’re going to give them a one-year warning, and if the drugs don’t stop or (are) largely stopped, we’re going to put tariffs on Mexico and products, in particular, the cars … and if that doesn’t stop the drugs, we close the border,” Trump told reporters during a meeting of his Opportunity and Revitalization Council.
