President Donald Trump on Monday blasted the media's coverage of family separations, calling his the "same immigration policies" as the Obama administration but with facilities that are "cleaner and better run."

Such a difference in the media coverage of the same immigration policies between the Obama Administration and ours. Actually, we have done a far better job in that our facilities are cleaner and better run than were the facilities under Obama. Fake News is working overtime!

Trump also repeated his stance that hiring more immigration judges to expedite the thousands of asylum cases that are mounting "is not the way to go." The U.S. must simply get tougher at the border and "build the wall."

Hiring manythousands of judges, and going through a long and complicated legal process, is not the way to go - will always be disfunctional. People must simply be stopped at the Border and told they cannot come into the U.S. illegally. Children brought back to their country......

....If this is done, illegal immigration will be stopped in it’s tracks - and at very little, by comparison, cost. This is the only real answer - and we must continue to BUILD THE WALL!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018

That assertion comes a day after Trump said illegal immigrants should be deported without due process — "no judges and no court cases."
