The US leader, who was speaking at a rally in Missoula, Montana ahead of the critical midterm elections in November, pledged to send the US military to the border in order to curb illegal migration if required and accused the Democrats of using migrants as a means of boosting their vote share.
He said: “As you know, I am willing to send the military to defend our southern border if necessary.
“It is all caused because of the illegal immigration onslaught brought by the Democrats because they refuse to acknowledge or to change the laws.”
He lambasted the Democrats for failing to support any form of new border security legislation, and for refusing to fix the US’s “horrible old-fashioned, loophole-ridden” immigration system.
Criticising the US’s immigration laws, he said: “We have the worst laws anywhere in the world, we have the dumbest laws anywhere in the world.”

The US leader also warned that Democrats were blocking Republican immigration reform as they are relying on “everyone coming in voting Democrat”.
In a pointed attack on his opponents, he said: “They are not so stupid when you think about it, but they are crazy.”
Trump in particular took aim at the US’s ‘catch and release’ immigration policy, which allows caught immigrants to return to the community while they await hearings in immigration courts.
He also raised concern over the shortage in the number of judges to adequately deal with the US’s immigration crisis, and process the extradition of illegal immigrants.
Commenting on the policy, he said: “You catch them, you find out about them, and even if you find out bad things, you release them, and you say come back for a court case.
“There are not even enough judges to take care of it.
“Someone comes in and a foot hits the ground and we are not allowed to say, ‘go back’.
“Every other country says, ‘go back, can’t come in, sorry.”
The US leader also launched a scathing attack on the individuals entering the US, branding them “hardened” and “bad people”.
He said: “We have hardened criminal coming in; you think those people are perfect, they are not perfect.
“We have some hardened, bad people coming in.”
Trump nevertheless made light of the situation, blaming himself for the US’s migration crisis.
He quipped: “I have caused the problem, everyone is in shock, but it is my problem, I caused it.
“I have created such an incredible economy, I have created so many jobs, I have made this country so great that everyone wants to come in.
“We have made our country strong, we have made our country respected, and people want to come in.”
