Trump: Southern Border Is ‘Totally Closed Down,’ ‘99.9%’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Well, I think maybe the border is the most significant because our country was really going bad. They were allowing people to come in from prisons, as you know, and you’ve heard me say it, but you’ve heard a lot of people say it. Prisons, mental institutions, gang members. Murderers. We had many murderers. 11,888, they think. Some murdered more than one person. So you had murderers coming in, you had everybody coming in, and not just South America, from all over the world. They were emptying their prisons into our country. And now it’s totally closed down. And you’ve seen just yesterday they announced 99.9 percent. Nobody thought that could happen. And it happened quickly, very quickly.”
