‘Our country
is full’: Trump FULL HOUSE
says migrants
straining system
By Z. MILLER and J. LEMIRE
Associated Press
CALEXICO, Calif. (AP) — De-
claring “our country is full,” Pres-
ident Donald Trump on Friday
insisted the U.S. immigration sys-
tem was overburdened and il-
legal crossings must be stopped
as he inspected a refurbished
section of fencing at the Mexi-
can border.
Trump, making a renewed push
for border security as a central
campaign issue for his 2020 re-
election, participated in a brief-
ing on immigration and bor-
der security in Calexico before
viewing a 2-mile (3.2-kilome-
ter) see-through steel-slat bar-
rier that was a long-planned re-
placement for an older barrier
— and not new wall.
President Donald Trump visits a new section of the border wall with Mexico in Calexico, Calif., Friday April 5, 2019. Gloria
Chavez with the U.S. Border Patrol, center, and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen listen.
