The military can't act 'like they would normally act' at the border, President Donald Trump claimed on Wednesday.
President Donald Trump blasted Democrats on Wednesday, accusing them of having "treasonous... open border" mindsets, also hitting out over laws preventing military troops stationed at the border from being more"rough" with asylum seekers.
The president's statement came shortly after he spoke with supporters at a Republican fundraiser in Texas, where he blamed Democrats for maintaining"horrible laws" that prevent the military from behaving"like they would normally act." "Let's have an open border! They'll flood your houses, they'll shoot you, they'll take over your house," the U.S. leader continued, appearing to turn his attention to asylum seekers."They'll take your car and they'll probably stay there. Why not. Nice place, right?"
In recent weeks, the president has ramped up his rhetoric against asylum seekers amid a surge of predominantly Central American asylum seekers, including many families, arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border.
