WASHINGTON—In a 10-minute address, President Donald Trump spoke to the nation on Jan. 8 about the mounting crisis at the southwest border.

“Over the years, thousands of Americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally entered our country, and thousands more lives will be lost if we don’t act right now,” Trump said. “This is a humanitarian crisis. A crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul.”
