Asylum loopholes are exhausting resources and diverting our law enforcement personnel from their mission—forcing agencies tasked with preventing illegal border crossings to "act more like a makeshift Red Cross," @BuckSexton writes. https://t.co/3FfA5dAXh5— The White House (@WhiteHouse) January 30, 2019

My advice to bankers, brokers, traders, facilitators, and other businesses: don’t deal in gold, oil, or other Venezuelan commodities being stolen from the Venezuelan people by the Maduro mafia. We stand ready to continue to take action.— John Bolton (@AmbJohnBolton) January 30, 2019

.@DHSgov and @CBP work hard to alert potential border-crossers to the risk of human trafficking before they become victims. Sadly, many will still attempt the trip—or even send children alone—in order to take advantage of porous U.S. borders and loopholes in our system.— The White House (@WhiteHouse) January 30, 2019
