In a renewed push for border-wall funding, President Donald Trump headed to the Southern border in McAllen, Texas, to make his case again amid what he described as “a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul” in his national address just days ago.
Arriving at the Border Patrol’s McAllen Station on Jan. 10, Trump participated in a roundtable discussion on immigration and border security with Texas officials. Among those making the trip with the president were White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and other officials.
