Suddenly Trump is channeling Bart Simpson on immigrants: Our country is full so turn around
Trump to Illegal Immigrants: The Country Is Full, So Turn Around:
I say, and this is our new statement, the system is full. We can't take you anymore. Whether it is asylum or anything you want, illegal immigration, we can't take you anymore. Our country is full. Our area is full. The sector is full. We can't take you anymore. Sorry, can't happen. So turn around, that's the way it is.
The context of the full remarks appears to be making the case that Border Patrol can and should stop following procedures under these new, extraordinary circumstances, but without real presidential backup apart from these words I think it highly unlikely that anyone will take the risk of acting independently. The president needs to intervene in an unconventional, convincing manner, and so far this looks like just more talk with no action of that kind likely to follow.
