President Donald Trump took to Twitter on July 30 to again criticize the open border agenda proposed by Democrats and tout progress at the southern border days after the Supreme Court allowed the White House to use $2.5 billion in Department of Defense funding to build a portion of the wall.

“Despite the Democrats wanting very unsafe Open Borders & refusing to change the Loopholes & Asylum, tremendous progress is being made [at] the Southern Border,” Trump wrote. “We all waited because we assumed the Dems would ultimately be forced to change the horrible Immigration Laws. They didn’t!”
