Trump says '100%' ready to shut down Mexico border.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is"100 percent" prepared to close down the US-Mexico border, warning Congress and Central American governments to take action to stem the flow of migrants into the country.
He was not specific, but Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has asked Congress to give border officials the power to forcibly repatriate Central American illegal immigrants, including children who arrived alone, back to their countries. "Until today, the secretary of state of the United States and his team have told us: this is not the policy we are going to apply, closing points on the border," Marcelo Ebrard said at a press conference.
"We are in a full blown emergency. The bottom line is all options are on the table right now," a senior Homeland Security official, who declined to be named, told journalists Tuesday.
