President Trump continues his push for a southern border wall amid the ongoing government shutdown over border security funding.
In a tweet Sunday, the President said the only way to stop drugs, gangs, human trafficking, criminal elements and more from coming into the country is with a wall or barrier.
President Trump reaffirms that U.S. troops stationed at the border will arrest migrants if they become violent.
The President reaffirmed the group will not pass into the U.S. on Friday, just days after the White House deployed over 5,000 troops to secure the border.
