President Trump to Seal US/Mexico Border?

There has been lost of talk of the Trump administration taking aggressive steps to halt the Central American “caravan.”  And the midterm elections are just days away.    

Nick Miroff and Maria Sacchetti for the Washington Post report that President Trump is preparing to announce a sweeping border crackdown in a speech Tuesday.  According to administration officials, the President is expected to invoke emergency powers to stop migrants from entering the United States and depict them as a grave national security threat.

President Trump is considering steps that would bar migrants from crossing the border and deny them a chance to apply for asylum in the United States, measures that legal scholars and immigrant rights groups say would contravene U.S. laws and international treaties.
