President Donald Trump's fury over a border wall continues to flare as he blames Mexico for failing to stop caravans from marching into the U.S.

'Mexico is doing NOTHING to stop the Caravan which is now fully formed and heading to the United States,' he tweeted Saturday morning.

'We stopped the last two - many are still in Mexico but can’t get through our Wall, but it takes a lot of Border Agents if there is no Wall. Not easy!' he added.

His tweet comes as the partial government shutdown enters its 29th day and as he prepares to deliver a speech Saturday afternoon rallying yet again for his controversial border wall that Democrats have continuously rejected.

President Donald Trump has blamed Mexico for failing to stop migrant caravans from entering the U.S.

On Saturday he said 'Everybody knows that walls work' foreshadowing his 3pm EST speech where he'll talk about the border wall

On Saturday morning he briefly spoke to reporters foreshadowing his government shutdown remarks scheduled for 3pm EST where he'll fight for his border wall with the hopes that Democrats will meet him halfway.

'As you know the caravans are coming up, they have a big one coming up now. I'm disappointed that Mexico is not stopping them. I mean, Mexico seems unfortunately powerless to stop them,' he said.

'If you had a wall, we wouldn't have this problem. The walls we fixed and built hold beautifully, but we have a lot of open areas, and it is too bad,' he added.

Trump claimed that previous caravans were successfully stopped in Mexico and are now in Tujuana.

'I don't know what they're doing there, but they're not in our country, that I can tell you,' he said, urging reporters to tune into his speech.

'I hope that speaker Pelosi can come along and realize what everybody knows, no matter who it is, they know that walls work and we need walls. And whether it is personal or not, it is not personal for me,' he said, claiming the Speaker of the House is 'controlled by the radical left'.

On Monday the largest group of migrants ever entered the U.S. illegally through seven small openings (one seen above) that were burrowed under the border barrier

The migrants immediately surrendered to Border Patrol and requested asylum

CBP said 200 of the group were minors, and that nearly all the rest said they were their parents

The migrants in the group will likely be released into the U.S. within 20 days, due to rules that prevent detaining parents and children together for longer than that

'Everybody knows that walls work. You look at different places, they put up a wall, no problem. You look at San Antonio, you look at so many different places, they go from one of the most unsafe cities in the country to one of the safest cities immediately,' he added.

'We have to put them up and we will put them up. We have to. I think we're making a lot of progress. You know, we're building the wall as we speak. Nobody covers that, and I understand that, but we're building wall as we speak.'

The president echoed his previous statements saying that people coming from Mexico are human traffickers, drug pushers and criminals.

Just this week Border Patrol said what they believe is the largest single group of migrants ever crossed the border through illegal tunnels.

On Monday a massive group of 376 migrants - including 200 minors - squeezed past a 12-foot border fence near Yuma, Arizona by burrowing through tiny holes dug under the old barrier.

The Border Patrol has said that smugglers transport large groups to the border and then instruct them to cross and turn themselves in.

The migrants 'inundated agents' as they poured in one after one through the tiny crawl space and surrendered to Border Patrol to request asylum.

Customs and Border Protection said 200 of the group were minors, and that nearly all the rest said they were their parents, meaning that they will likely be released into the U.S. as their asylum claims are processed.

'If you had a wall, we wouldn't have this problem. The walls we fixed and built hold beautifully, but we have a lot of open areas, and it is too bad,' Trump said on Saturday morning

Honduran migrants heading to the U.S. with a second caravan rest on the international border bridge between Guatemala and Mexico

Honduran migrants hold their Visitor Pass for Humanitarian Reasons issued by the Mexican government on Friday before they head towards the U.S.

Officials said that most of the group entered the U.S. through seven small openings burrowed under the border barrier.

The crossings took place at a remote stretch of border where old fencing is about 12 feet high and the ground is sandy. Stretched thin, CBP has only three agents patrolling the 26-mile section of border.

President Donald Trump's administration had tried to forbid migrants from requesting asylum after crossing the border illegally, but that move was struck down by a federal judge in November.

'The only thing that solves that problem is a change in the law,' CBP Yuma Border Sector Chief Anthony Porvaznik told ABC News.

'The only reason they're trying to say that they're family units is that they know if they're a family unit, they're going to be released within 20 days,' Porvaznik said.

Porvaznik said that he had worked for CBP for 30 years and had never been part of an arrest of a group as large as the one on Monday.

He said that 87 percent of the apprehensions in Yuma Sector are family units and unaccompanied alien children

By Thursday, hundreds of the asylum seekers were being held in cinderblock cells with thick glass windows as CBP agents worked to process them and provide humanitarian needs, ABC reported.

The asylum seekers were separated into cells: fathers with sons, fathers with daughters, unaccompanied minors and mothers with children.

One man in the group told the network that he left Guatemala eight days ago and made most of the trip by bus along with his 12-year-old daughter, paying a coyote $5,000 to get them to the border.

He planned to travel to San Diego after leaving the processing center. The father said he left a wife and two younger daughters back in Guatemala.

On Wednesday, a separate group of 247 people illegally crossed into the U.S. near the Antelope Wells Port of Entry in New Mexico.

Border Patrol said that the group in New Mexico (above) immediately surrendered and requested asylum and medical care

The group, which included many juveniles, surrendered to authorities for processing and most requested immediate medical care.

The CBP said that since the beginning of October, 24 groups of more than 100 migrants have crossed the border near Lordsburg, New Mexico.

Parents with children now reportedly make up more than 80 per cent of those caught crossing the southern border illegally.

Last month, CBP said it took 20,000 juveniles into custody after illegal crossings, including both unaccompanied minors and those traveling with parents.

The vast majority surrender immediately upon crossing to claim asylum.

Trump has declared the situation at the border a national security and humanitarian crisis, and demanded $5.7 billion in border wall funding from Congress.

Deadlock over the demand led to the partial federal government shutdown, which entered its 29th day on Saturday and is now the longest in U.S. history.

The showdown comes as another migrant caravan makes its way north toward the U.S. border.

Mexico's National Migration Institute said on Thursday that 969 migrants from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua had crossed into Ciudad Hidalgo.

One recent study, by the New York-based Center for Immigration Studies, estimated that in 2017 more people entered the U.S. illegally by overstaying temporary visas than by crossing the border illegally.

That study also estimated the number of illegal immigrants currently in the U.S. at 10.7 million. Another recent study by MIT Sloan and Yale professors estimated that number at 22 million.
