Trump launches Twitter tirade, declares ‘DACA is dead’
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump demanded Monday that Congress pass new border legislation using the "Nuclear Option if necessary" to muscle it through the Senate - a drastic change in rules the Republican leader has previously dismissed.Trump tweeted that the U.S. must build a border wall, but argued that "Democrats want No Borders, hence drugs and crime!" He also said that a deal to help "Dreamer" immigrants is "dead because the Democrats didn't care or act." Trump has previously called for the "nuclear option" - changing Senate rules to end the filibuster. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has dismissed that option in the past, saying Republicans will welcome the filibuster if they return to being the Senate minority.RELATED: Hundreds of students march in San Jose to call for change in CongressThe White House did not immediately answer questions about Trump's tweets.
