President Trump presented his administration’s border security efforts at a drug abuse summit in Atlanta today.

“In the past two years Customs and Border Protection seized, of meth and cocaine and heroin and fentanyl at the southern border are up 45%. They’re going up much higher. We are seizing it all over. You probably saw the numbers today. We are detaining, capturing, call it anything you want, more people than ever before,” Trump said. “A lot of it is drugs and drugs are being gotten by us,” he added. “We are stopping the drug flow as much as we can. Soon we’re going to have a wall that’s very powerful … it will have a tremendous impact on drugs coming into our country.”

Trump called the US’s immigration laws “horrible, obsolete, weak, pathetic” and that needs to change.

“We could solve the entire problem I’d say 45 minutes, but it could do a lot quicker than that … If the Democrats would agree to do basic, common-sense things” Trump said.
