In his classic stream-of-consciousness style, President Donald Trump took aim at immigration judges, saying “I don’t want judges, I want border security.”
“I don’t want people coming in,” he said, referring to immigrants. “If a person comes in and puts one foot in our ground, it is essentially ‘welcome to America, welcome to our country,’ and you never get them out.
“Because they take their name, they bring the name down, they file it, they let the person go, they say ‘show back up to court in one year from now,'” he continued. “One year. But here’s the thing, that in itself is ridiculous. Three percent come back.”
According to a 2016 report from the Syracuse University Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a collection of nonpartisan reports on federal spending and enforcement actions, in 2015, 86 percent of undocumented immigrants who were released from detention and given a later court date showed up.

Trump Blames Media For Enabling ‘Smugglers’ And ‘Traffickers’

President Donald Trump targeted one of his favorite enemies during a Tuesday immigration talk, accusing the “fake news media” of helping smugglers and traffickers at the border by not speaking about the asylum process enough.
“Keep in mind, those who apply for asylum legally at ports of entry are not prosecuted,” he said. “The fake news media back there doesn’t talk about that. They are fake. They are helping, they are helping these smugglers and these traffickers like nobody would believe.”
He linked that to people coming into the country illegally and “endangering our children,” citing MS13 at the perpetrator of this violence.
