As President Trumpprepares to visit the southern border, the White House is accusing Democrats of allowing the crisis of surging asylum seekers and gridlock at ports of entry to grow even worse.

“Democrats are leaving us absolutely no choice,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanderstold reporters Wednesday. “Eventually, it may be that it’s the best decision that we close the border.”

She noted that Customs and Border Patrol has had to redeploy 750 agents from ports of entry to shift officers elsewhere on the border.

“At this point, and it looks like we’re going to have to move more, which will force those lines to go longer to cross the border,” Mrs. Sanderssaid. “It’s unfortunate because this could have been something that we fixed if Democrats had been willing to work with us. Hopefully, they see the impact that it’s having on our border and on our border patrol agents and they’ll be willing to step up and do their jobs and help the president.”

Mr. Trumpplans to visit Calexico, California, on Friday to meet with law-enforcement officials and view a newly completed section of border wall. It’s the first major section of replacement wall during his presidency.

The president has threatened to close the border to deal with a new surge of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers.

“Even [President] Obama’s own secretary at Department of Homeland Security from the Obama administration, Jeh Johnson, has said that this is a crisis, people are starting to understand exactly what the president has said was going to happen all along,” Mrs. Sanderssaid.

Seems every leftist site spews the same garbage while other sites sen to report a different story.

Trump is an absolute failure. What a loser. Can’t even control the border of his own country, but he can pay for Israel’s wall.

Ah yes the informed spouting shit.

Congress is responsible for immigration law.
Congress is responsible for asylum law.
Congress is responsible forfending borer security.
Congress is responsible for the complete disaster on the border.

But keep it up EU boy as your completely clueless as to how this failed democrat congress is doing nothing.

In case your unaware, the dems in the house are purposely not funding border security so hundreds of thousand can enter the US and then like you can point their finger see Trump cannot segue the border.

No shit Sherlock he cannot protect the border unless he mines the border, gives a shoot to kill order and closes the order to all trucks and people.
