On Black Friday, President Donald Trump called for bipartisanship as it pertains to immigration, reports Newser.
An Overview of President Trump’s Statements
The 45th president tweeted out the following message about immigration to America:
Republicans and Democrats MUST come together, finally, with a major Border Security package, which will include funding for the Wall. After 40 years of talk, it is finally time for action. Fix the Border, for once and for all, NOW!

Friday does not mark President Trump’s first tweet about legal immigration and the border wall. The commander-in-chief frequently posts about the need for lawful and merit-based immigration. Likewise, Trump has repeatedly called upon members of Congress to take what he views as appropriate steps forward.
Catch and Release is an obsolete term. It is now Catch and Detain. Illegal Immigrants trying to come into the U.S.A., often proudly flying the flag of their nation as they ask for U.S. Asylum, will be detained or turned away. Dems must approve Border Security & Wall NOW!

The Mayor of Tijuana, Mexico, just stated that “the City is ill-prepared to handle this many migrants, the backlog could last 6 months.” Likewise, the U.S. is ill-prepared for this invasion, and will not stand for it. They are causing crime and big problems in Mexico. Go home!

More on Immigration in America
The divisive debate regarding immigration in America has intensified over the course of 2018. Moreover, the migrant caravan which currently seeks asylum in the U.S. serves as yet another polarizing factor. Individuals across the nation each maintain their own ideas on appropriate measures going forward. Some Americans believe the migrants are deserving of asylum while others do not. Many conservatives and right-wingers have furthermore stressed the importance of legal, merit-based immigration.
