President Donald Trump is downplaying the claims of people seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump says: “I look at some of these asylum people. They’re gang members. They’re not afraid of anything.”

Trump is also comparing some efforts to seek asylum to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 elections.

Trump says: “It’s a scam, it’s a hoax. I know about hoaxes. I just went through a hoax.”

Trump traveled Friday to Southern California to meet with local law enforcement officials and to tour a section of recently rebuilt fencing along the border with Mexico.

President Donald Trump says his administration is ensuring the country knows “this is an actual emergency” at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump traveled Friday to Southern California to meet with local law enforcement officials and tour a section of recently rebuilt fencing he cites as the answer to a surge of migrant families coming to the U.S. in recent months.

Trump says the administration is making progress in building a border wall and says he expects “close to 400 miles” to be completed within the next two years.
