Trump: Americans on the border “better arm up and get guns and be ready. Maybe they're going to have to start taking matters into their own hands. It should never happen, these people should never make this dangerous journey here”

JEANINE PIRRO (HOST): Talk about feeling trespassed on. I mean, these people at the borders have no security. The sheriffs have been talking for months, for years actually, about the fact that they're being overrun, that their fences are being broken, that there's all kinds of garbage as they come along the border. I mean, what do we say to people at the southern border who feel like they're not even part of a country anymore?

LARA TRUMP (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): Yeah, and what about the rancher who found a group of young children who had slept overnight on his ranch? I think there was an 11-month old baby there, a five-year old, a two-year-old. The visual, and the pictures and images we get of the three-year-old being dropped down over a wall, the five-year-old standing out crying out in the middle of nowhere. This is horrifying stuff. And you know what? It must be so insulting to the folks that actually work on the southern border, to our border patrol agents, to our ICE agents, to the people whose jobs it has been for so long to deal with this, it's like they're being made a mockery of by our very own president and vice president. Shame on them. It is absolutely disgusting and disgraceful to see.

And I don't know what you tell the people that live at the southern border. I guess they better arm up and get guns and be ready. And maybe they're going to have to start taking matters into their own hands. It should never happen, these people should never make this dangerous journey here. It's bad for Americans, it's bad for the migrants. It is bad all around.
