"I haven't made that intention known," Trump says when asked if he intends to close the border.

"I'm ready to close it if I have to close it."
"Mexico has, as of yesterday, made a big difference. You'll see that, because few people, if any, are coming up," Trump says.
"What we have to do is, Congress has to meet quickly."

Trump again calls for all of his preferred immigration reforms -- end to extended family migration, diversity visa lottery, changes to asylum laws.
"One foot on your land, welcome to being Perry Mason. You now have a big trial," Trump says, explaining why he eschews the current system of immigration courts.
"I think the Democrats -- today I spoke to a couple of them -- and they all of a sudden, they're changing. Because they're seeing, it really is a crisis," Trump says.
"If [Mexico doesn't stop migrants from heading north] or if we don't make a deal with Congress, the border's going to be closed," Trump vows.
"It's the only way we're getting a response, and I'm totally ready to do it," Trump insists.
