WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump says the legal due process given to people caught trying to cross the US border illegally is dysfunctional and “not the way to go.”
Trump says in a series of typo-filled tweets that, “Hiring many thousands of judges, and going through a long and complicated legal process, is not the way to go – will always be disfunctional.”
Trump says that people trying to gain entry “must simply be stopped at the Border and told they cannot come into the US illegally” and that children should be sent back to their home countries.
He adds that, “If this is done, illegal immigration will be stopped in it’s tracks.”
His comments Monday were similar to those over the weekend in which he compared people crossing the border to invaders.
Trump is also complaining about media coverage of his immigration policies, saying they’re the “same” as the Obama administration’s, although that’s not the case.
