President Donald Trump championed the sovereignty of the United States in an address to the United Nations on Sept. 24, telling those gathered that “open borders activists” are pushing policies that are “cruel and evil.”

“There is a growing cottage industry of radical activists and nongovernmental organizations that promote human smuggling. These groups encourage illegal migration and demand the erasure of national borders,” he told the General Assembly in New York.
