From the New York Times on Michael Barbarco, this is the Daily.

To then, the President plans to address the nation tonight about what he calls,

quote, the humanitarian and national security crisis on our southern border.

Is there one?

It's Tuesday, January.

As we speak, we are in the middle of an unprecedented crisis on our southern border.

The agents on the ground say it's the worst they've ever seen

and that the American people aren't being told the truth about what's happening.

But you people know the truth because you're here.

Ever since he was a candidate, President Trump has described a crisis at the Southwest border

so severe that the country is teetering on the edge of imminent doom.

People, drugs and cartels are pouring across the border.

This crisis is putting enormous stress on your schools, your hospitals,

your jobs and your wages. You know that. Do you know that? I mean, everybody knows it.

In the President's mind and in his words, we have a crisis of illegal immigration.

That's an invasion. That's not an invasion.

An invasion of criminals, terrorists and rapists who are invading the country.

They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists.

In particular, he talks about the safety of women who are at risk of rape.

We have some bad ombres here and we're going to get them out.

By bad ombres. And they're taking your jobs and you better be careful.

You better be careful.
