Trump calls on Congress to 'fix' asylum, other immigration 'loopholes': 'Get it done now!'

On Monday urged Democrats to work with Republicans to address U.S. asylum laws quickly, the latest push from the president to re-focus on immigration after he threatened last week to shutter the southern border and cut aid to Central American countries.

"Democrats, working with Republicans in Congress, can fix the Asylum and other loopholes quickly," he said.

"We have a major National Emergency at our Border. GET IT DONE NOW!".Democrats, working with Republicans in Congress, can fix the Asylum and other loopholes quickly.

"The Democrats are allowing a ridiculous asylum system and major loopholes to remain as a mainstay of our immigration system," he tweeted.

The president has long complained that the countries have not done enough to prevent migrants from trekking to the U.S. in search of asylum.
