Step by step, Trump is forcing the politicians to properly address and to also reform the immigration laws, once and for all. He is making it their crisis.
Sooner or later he is going to get what is necessary even if it is not this congress this time around.
In the meantime he will use administrative tools to keep up the pressure..

While spending at a 75th anniversary
celebration held by the National Federation of Independent Businesses on
Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he wants to cut foreign aid to
countries that “abuse” the U.S. by sending “not their best” people.
Describing his proposal as a bipartisan approach, Trump said, "I'm going
to go very shortly for authorization that when countries abuse us by
sending their people up — not their best — we're not going to give any
more aid to those countries." The president said, “Why the hell should
we?” and described the move as a "responsible, common-sense approach
that all lawmakers should embrace, Democrats and Republicans."
#CHANGETHELAWS Now is the best opportunity ever for Congress to change the ridiculous and obsolete laws on immigration. Get it done, always keeping in mind that we must have strong border security.

Trump told his listeners, "We want to end the border crisis by
finally giving us the legal authorities and the resources to detain and
remove illegal immigrant families all together and bring them back to
their country." The president said, "Now think of all that aid that we
give to some of these countries," and added, "Well, I'm going to go very
shortly for authorization that when countries abuse us by sending their
people up — not their best — we're not going to give any more aid to
those countries."
Democrats are the problem. They don’t care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they may be, to pour into and infest our Country, like MS-13. They can’t win on their terrible policies, so they view them as potential voters!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 19, 2018
During his remarks at the conference, Trump blasted the media for
appearing to help human traffickers by broadcasting “fake” news. His
proposal to cut foreign aid came while Democrats and other critics have
criticized his "zero-tolerance" policy on prosecuting illegal border
crossers. The policy has caused the separation of nearly 2,000 migrant
children from their parents between April 19 and the end of May,
according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Trump said, “We don’t want people pouring into our country. We want
them to come in through the process, through the legal system, and we
want ultimately a merit-based system where people come in based on
merit.” Trump said, “Keep in mind, those who apply for asylum legally at
ports of entry are not prosecuted. The fake news media back there
doesn’t talk about that.” He reiterated that he wants to promote
immigration “based on merit.”

Trump’s speech appeared to lay down a threat to rescind foreign aid
than his previous statements. In April, the president suggested that his
administration would halt foreign aid to Honduras in the wake of
reports that a "caravan" of migrants from that country was headed north
through Mexico. He tweeted, “The big Caravan of People from Honduras,
now coming across Mexico and heading to our “Weak Laws” Border, had
better be stopped before it gets there. Cash cow NAFTA is in play, as is
foreign aid to Honduras and the countries that allow this to happen.
Congress MUST ACT NOW!” In December, he suggested that countries that
vote against the U.S. will see aid restrictions. "We're watching" the
votes of "nations that take our money and then they vote against us at
the Security Council," Trump said at the time.
If you don’t have Borders, you don’t have a Country!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 19, 2018
While Trump had earlier signaled support for two Republican immigration
bills that are currently being considered in Congress, at the NFIB
conference he appeared to waver. "We have a House that's getting ready
to finalize an immigration package that they're going to brief me on
later and that I'm going to make changes to," the president said at the
event. "We have one chance to get it right. We might as well get it
right or let's just keep it going."
We must always arrest people coming into our Country illegally. Of the 12,000 children, 10,000 are being sent by their parents on a very dangerous trip, and only 2000 are with their parents, many of whom have tried to enter our Country illegally on numerous occasions.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 19, 2018
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told Breitbart radio on Tuesday that an
immigration bill being promoted by outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan
(R-Wisc.) departs from Trump’s campaign promises. Jordan said that
Ryan’s legislation does not deal with “sanctuary cities, doesn’t have
E-Verify, and frankly doesn’t deal with the chain migration” as does the
bill being offered by Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Bob Goodlatte
(R-VA). Jordan also warned that Ryan’s bill would also expand the number
of illegal aliens benefiting from the Deferred Action on Childhood
Arrivals (DACA) -- which was an executive order issued by President
Barack Obama -- that has allowed hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens
to remain in the U.S. with work permits. Of Ryan’s bill, Jordan said,
“It has some good things in it but I don’t think it’s consistent with
the full mandate that we told the American people we were going to do if
they made Donald Trump and put Republicans in control of the House and
the Senate.”
