Trump threatens Mexico border closure if Congress doesn't act on immigration
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump threatened on Wednesday to close the U.S. border with Mexico if Congress does not take steps immediately to deal with immigration and security loopholes that he says are creating a national emergency in the region.
“Congress must get together and immediately eliminate the loopholes at the Border!” Trump said in a post on social media. “If no action, Border, or large sections of Border, will close. This is a National Emergency!”
