Washington D.C. [USA], Dec 3 (ANI): United States President Donald Trump reiterated his resolve on the illegal entry of migrants through its southern border with Mexico and reissued threats about closing the border.

"We would save Billions of Dollars if the Democrats would give us the votes to build the Wall. Either way, people will NOT be allowed into our Country illegally! We will close the entire Southern Border if necessary. Also, STOP THE DRUGS!," Trump tweeted on Monday.

Trump has come under a lot of criticism for his handling of the Latin American migrants, including women and children, who tried crossing the border fence on November 25.

He had ordered for tear gas to be used to contain the situation, in a move that was widely criticised by national media and celebrities like Rihanna who labelled the act as "terrorism". (ANI)
