Monday in a Cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump said one of his administration’s top priorities for immigration reform continued to be a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump said, “Our proposal closes dangerous loopholes and vulnerabilities with asylum fraud and Visa overstays. You are talking about numbers that nobody even knows what they are; they are so out of control. We are going to take care of that. When you look at what’s going on in Mexico, Mexico is having a tough time regarding crime.”

He continued,”More than ever we need the wall. We have drugs pouring through on the southern border. They are literally pouring through, and we have to have the wall. We are going to have the wall. If you look at just what’s happening on the other side of the border with the tremendous crime and the tremendous problems going on, we have a very good relationship with Mexico. There are a lot of problems, and we don’t want the drugs. We don’t want the crime. We need the wall.”
