WASHINGTON: The Trump administration on Sunday doubled down on its threat to shut down the southern border with Mexico, a day after it cut aid to Central American countries which President Donald Trump accused of deliberately sending migrants to the United States.
Speaking to ABC's"This Week" show, White House acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said the president had few other options in the absence of any support from Democrats for more border security or legislative action to change the immigration law. White House adviser Kellyanne Conway told"Fox News Sunday" that the situation at the border was at"melting point" and said the president was serious in his threat."It certainly is not a bluff. You can take the president seriously."Neither Trump aide offered any specific details or timeline for the potential border shutdown.
Trump has repeatedly said he would close the US border with Mexico during his two years in office. His latest threat had workers and students who frequently cross the border worried about the potential disruption to their lives.
