WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump, in televised address filled with tough election-season rhetoric, said Thursday that he will sign an extensive executive order requiring asylum-seekers to present themselves at a port of entry and house them in tent cities until their legal cases are completed.
Trump has made a caravan of several thousand migrants from Central America, including women, children and the elderly as well as men, a central campaign issue as the midterm elections loom Tuesday.
"We're not releasing them into our country any longer. They'll wait," Trump said. "We're putting together massive cities of tents. We're going to hold them right there."
