On Monday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders slammed a reporter badgering her about why President Donald Trump is waiting for Congress to change immigration law.

After the reporter repeated asked Sanders if the President Trump would take action to circumvent Congress on immigration, Sanders responded:

"You mean, are we walking around making up laws? No. Because we’re not the Obama administration."

Sanders was fielding questions on whether more judges are needed to hear illegal immigrants' asylum requests.

REPORTER: I just want to see if you can kind of narrow down exactly what the president actually intends to do when it comes to this idea of not having judges. You say that there are instances where people don’t have judges. But my understanding is that if you do ask for asylum, you do have certain rights. So is there going to be a change in that policy? Or what is this administration planning to do to make it so you don’t have to see a judge?

SANDERS: I’ve addressed this a couple of times. There are multiple instances in where you wouldn’t: voluntary removal, certain cases of expedited removal. If somebody comes through a port of entry seeking asylum, those cases and that process will be heard. But at the same time, the president’s ultimate goal is to secure the border and stop illegal immigration.

REPORTER: I understand that. But so what does that mean practically? Like, is the President planning to do anything differently, or you’re just saying he doesn’t like the way things work now?

SANDERS: The President has laid out what he’d like to see. We’ve put out the things that we want to see in an immigration package months ago. We’re still waiting on Congress to give us the ability to do that.

REPORTER: So unless Congress acts, nothing is actually going to change? The administration is not changing anything right now when it comes to judges?

SANDERS: You mean, are we walking around making up laws? No. Because we’re not the Obama administration.

We’re actually trying to enforce the laws that are on the books. We’re actually asking Congress to do their part in the process and pass new legislation that will fix our immigration system.
