President Trump on Friday visited the southern border amid an escalating immigration crisis, saying that “our country is full” and warning potential migrants thinking about crossing into the U.S. that this country "can’t take you anymore.”“Whether it’s asylum, whether it’s anything you want, it’s illegal immigration, can’t take you anymore. Trump has used that barrier to declare that his central campaign promise of a wall on the southern border is being fulfilled despite significant opposition in Congress. But statistics show that there has been a surge in border crossings in recent months, and the administration has struggled to cope. He also said he was considering separate economic penalties over drugs “coming in through the southern border and killing our people” although he did not specify what those penalties would be. After the border visit, Trump is scheduled to appear in fundraisers in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and address the Republican Jewish Coalition.
