'Security crisis' over illegal Mexico-US crossings?
A former deputy assistant to President Trump is asked about the number of people making illegal crossings of the US-Mexico border.
Politics Live presenter Andrew Neil questioned the "security crisisβ as the numbers were at a 20-year low, while criminals were using legal entry points.
Sebastian Gorka disputed the figures, and said it was also about drugs, arms and trafficking of women, and added President Trump was keeping his election promise.
The president is insisting on funding for his long-promised border wall amid a stand-off with Congress that has led to an 18-day partial government shutdown.
