TRUMP OUTLINES BORDER ‘CRISIS’: President Trump made his case for funding his long-promised border wall Tuesday night, taking his case directly to the nation with an address from the Oval Office, and calling the surge of illegal immigration a "growing humanitarian and security crisis"... The president's speech drew seemingly deep lines in the sand as Republicans and Democrats plan to meet Wednesday to continue negotiations on ending the partial federal government shutdown over border wall funding, which is now in its third week.
Trump drew a correlation between border security and the opioid crisis and drug deaths in the United States, calling for the closure of the pipeline that enables "vast quantities of illegal drugs – including meth, heroin, cocaine and fentanyl" to cross the border. Trump also paid tribute to several Americans allegedly killed by suspected illegal immigrants, including California police Cpl. Ronil Singh, whom authorities say was killed the day after Christmas by an illegal immigrant suspected of driving drunk.
