(CNSNews.com) – If any migrant trying to storm the U.S.-Mexico border throws rocks at U.S. troops deployed there, President Trump said Thursday he’s told the military to respond as they would when faced with firearms.
“They want to throw rocks at our military, our military fights back,†he told reporters in the Oval Office, during a press briefing in which he also said he would sign an executive order next week, limiting the way in which applications for asylum are handled.
