Small groups of other people have led Trump to call for travel bans and a wall on the border with Mexico.
President Trump in the Oval Office on Friday By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow March 15 at 5:23 PM President Trump issued the first veto of his presidency on Friday, rejecting a resolution passed by the House and the Senate that would have blocked his declaration of a national emergency on the border with Mexico.
That phrase appears in a document that appears to have been shared online by the alleged shooter in a deadly attack at two New Zealand mosques that left 49 Muslim worshipers dead. The document focuses heavily on immigration and the author’s perceived sense of an embattled white race. It’s hard to miss the irony. Trump had just signed a document focused on shifting resources to the southern U.S. border to build a wall that fulfilled a campaign promise specifically arguing that small groups of people — terrorists, smugglers — made it necessary.
His claims about the amount of drugs crossing the border between ports of entry are also inflated. Most drugs that are apprehended at the border are caught at border checkpoints. Any claim that gang members cross the border illegally in vast numbers is also inflated. There were about 1,000 gang members stopped at the border in the last federal fiscal year . A fifth of them were stopped at border checkpoints. Trump has in the past claimed that unaccompanied minors cross into the country who are members of the gang MS-13, but from 2011 to 2017 only 56 such people were apprehended among the 249,000 unaccompanied minors who attempted to enter the United States.
