Donald Trump arrived in Laredo at the US border with Mexico today.
Trump met with reporters before his tour of the border.
He told reporters the Border Patrol invited him and then backed off because they didn’t want to get involved.
Donald Trump: The reason they invited me was because of the tremendous problem and tremendous crime. And all of the things you’re talking about. So they invited me and then at the last moment, I mean we were virtually in the air, and they said, we can’t get involved. And I heard they got those orders from Washington.
Reporter: What evidence specifically have you seen?
Donald Trump: We’ll be showing you the evidence.
