Washington, May 6 - US President Donald Trump has floated a new idea about border security, saying that people might have to think about closing up the country, the media reported.

Michelle Wolf is not the first so-called comic to maliciously insult conservatives and Republicans at a White House Correspondents' Association dinner, but she was intentionally mean-spirited, and even after the blowback, she's unrepentant. Members of the liberal mainstream media have expressed disapproval over some of Wolf's comments, saying she went too far.

Those defending President Trump's nativist initiatives would like to assure you that the policies are not based in bigotry.

How can we reduce the number of abortions in the United States? One way is to make sure women are confident they'll have medical coverage throughout their pregnancies and after. And how can we encourage people to work?

With the June 5 primary closing in, hundreds of party delegates will spend the weekend in San Diego debating endorsements for candidates seeking statewide offices that are all held by Democrats.

Following through on a months-old promise, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit Tuesday to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, leading a seven-state coalition against an Obama-era immigration measure that protects hundreds of thousands of immigrants nationwide from deportation, including more than 120,000 in Texas.

For weeks, President Donald Trump has expressed alarm about a caravan of Central American migrants heading for the United States and vowed to keep them out. But on Tuesday, U.S. officials allowed a second group of the asylum seekers across the border, their fate now in the hands of immigration officials and judges.
