In a television interview that aired Thursday, Trump reacted to an effort underway in the House to force votes on bills protecting young undocumented immigrants from deportation. “Unless it improves a wall, and I mean a wall, a real wall, and unless it improves very strong border security, there’ll be no approvals from me, because I have to either approve it or not,” Trump said during an interview on “Fox & Friends” on Fox News that was taped Wednesday. “So chain migration is terrible, the lottery is terrible, we certainly would like to have it end.”Last month, Trump threatened to shut down the federal government in September if Congress did not provide more funding to build a border wall.
