President Trump on Friday morning signed a proclamation that would deny any asylum claims made by immigrants who entered the country illegally, in response to increased illegal entry along the U.S.-Mexico border. Under this directive, claims for asylum may only be made at ports of entry to the United States. The White House released a full explanation and details of the order on Twitter.
Trump told reporters on Friday, people can come in, but they have to come in through the ports of entry, and that, to me, is a very important thing, In response to the migrant caravan making their way through Mexico, Trump said were not letting them in, but theyre trying to flood our country. We need the wall.
The proclamation was signed by the President because of his belief that the laws are obsolete, and theyre incompetent. They are the worst laws any country has anywhere in the world, and its only because we dont have the Democrats votes.
The President reiterated that he is in favor of immigration and acknowledged that the U.S. needs new immigrants to fill job openings. He further explained, we need people in our country, but they have to come in legally, and they have to have merit.
Trumps latest move to curb illegal immigration will almost definitely be challenged in court, but the administration claims this proclamation to be legal and falls within the scope of presidential powers.

Oh I don't think so...I rather like what's being done in all the areas...
To MY eye - every little thing President Trump is doing IS building a wall.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As someone aptly put it, “Trump IS the wall” rather than the traditional concrete/wire/steel wall that people usually have in mind.
Bump!
Trump should do a reverse double whammy on the left and overwhelm them with one EO after the next.
We need to do the following: 1) No citizenship for illegals, that includes no benefits either. 2) No voting for legal immigrants for 10 years, if they do they’ll be deported. 3) No ballots in any language other than English, 4) ID cards for voting...5) End early voting...
It would have both functions. It would create a disincentive for some to come here to begin with, an incentive to leave for some already here, and a source of tax revenue from those who remain. I'm not sure what the optimal level of taxation would be to balance the last with the first two. Around 25% isn't unreasonable, as that's lower than what some income brackets pay in income taxes.
I don't see how they can, after the Supreme Court ruling in Trump vs Hawaii earlier this year.
True we need Trump to do EO...
Injunction already in the works.
“You declare he has failed which belies your real position in my opinion as a closet opponent as your words reveal your truth.”
Mexico is paying for it? No - he failed.
Congress is fully funding it? No. The Republican Congress refused to fully fund it. The Democrat House will not fund it. The few sections that have been funded will be built. It is difficult to see that any additional funds will be appropriated for the wall during the next two years unless the GOP Congress passes funding in the lame duck session. I see no evidence Trump is pushing for lame duck session funding nor do I see any evidence the GOP leaders plan to bring full funding up for a vote.
Tell me then if he hasn’t failed, how will the entire wall be funded and built during the next two years? Will Mexico suddenly decide to deliver? Will the Democrats acquiesce? What is the winning plan?
Things do not happen overnight as you seem to desire or demand they do, I am sure Trump is losing sleep because you are unhappy
It took years for them to get us to this point, and to unwind it is not a snap of the fingers, he is still in office and he did not by anything I have ever seen give a start and stop date
You talk like a Never Trumper or a Troll
Just an opinion honed on dealing with them here over a period of time
Facts are facts.
Check back in 2 years and let me know how many miles of wall have been constructed.
“Hes building a virtual wall. Denying welfare and birthright citizenship will cause many illegals to self deport or stay home.”
Thank you! That’s what I’m saying; there’s more than one way to skin a cat! President Trump will do ANYTHING within his power to MAGA. God Bless Him! *HEART*
:) Amen, Amen, AMEN!
Not only require that no anchor babies get citizenship, but ensure and codify that they, and illegals, NEVER get citizenship.
They need to be disqualified for life.
