"We should spend less time worrying about (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, and more time worrying about migrant rape gangs, drug lords, murderers, and people from mental institutions entering our country so that we don’t end up like Europe!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social page, TASS reported. Trump signed an executive order on January 20 declaring a state of emergency at the US border with Mexico. He said it would allow troops to be sent to the southern border to repel the catastrophic "invasion" of illegal migrants into the country.

Earlier, the US leader had repeatedly called for a tougher immigration policy. He said he intended to conduct the largest operation in American history to deport illegal migrants..
