This morning Trump weighed in on the border situation, saying that Democrats finally understand that there’s a national emergency at the border. He says if they work together all will be well:
The Democrats now realize that there is a National Emergency at the Border and that, if we work together, it can be immediately fixed. We need Democrat votes and all will be well!

He continues, pointing out that the “bad hombres” are being detained and will be deported.
But he also points out that others that are released into the country will also be removed at a later date. In fact he tells them not to get comfortable, because they will be leaving soon:
Border Patrol is apprehending record numbers of people at the Southern Border. The bad “hombres,” of which there are many, are being detained & will be sent home. Those which we release under the ridiculous Catch & Telease loophole, are being registered and will be removed later!

All people that are illegally coming into the United States now will be removed from our Country at a later date as we build up our removal forces and as the laws are changed. Please do not make yourselves too comfortable, you will be leaving soon!

Trump seems to be back in negotiation mode with Democrats on the issue of immigration…
Will the Democrats give our Country a badly needed immigration win before the election? Good chance!
