At a border security roundtable on Friday afternoon, President Trump reportedly accused asylum seekers of running a “scam,” as they’re actually members of gangs. “Asylum, you know I look at some of these asylum people, they’re gang members. They’re not afraid of anything... and they say ‘I fear for my life,’ they’re the ones causing fear for life. It’s a scam, it’s a hoax,” he said. “I know about hoaxes, I just went through a hoax.” Trump also claimed that the United States can no longer take in any other asylum seekers or other migrants entering from the southern border. “The system is full. We can’t take you anymore. Whether it’s asylum. Whether it’s anything you want. It’s illegal immigration,” Trump said, according to CNN. “Can’t take you anymore. Can’t take you. Our country is full… Can’t take you anymore, I’m sorry. So turn around. That’s the way it is.”
