Trump Four years of open borders and sanctuary policies have brought criminal drug networks, human trafficking, and an epidemic of sexual assault. William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews United States President Donald J.

"The result of this decision will let more CRIMINALS pour into our Country, doing great harm to our cherished American public," said Trump.
