The president's comments to Axios on HBO come amid a renewed push for hard line immigration policies before the midterm elections

Revoking birthright citizenship would spark a court fight over the president's unilateral ability to change an amendment to the Constitution
The 14th Amendment guarantees that right for children born in the US. Asked about the legality of such an executive order, Mr Trump said "they're saying I can do it just with an executive order
" Mr Trump said White House lawyers are reviewing his proposal. It's unclear how quickly he'd act on an executive order
BORDER CRACKDOWN The president's crackdown on birthright citizenship comes just after the Pentagon said it's sending 5200 troops to the Southwest border in an extraordinary military operation to try and stop Central American migrants moving north in slow-moving caravans that are still hundreds of miles from the US
Some of the troops will be armed. The number of troops being deployed is more than double the 2000 who are in Syria fighting the Islamic State group
Mr Trump stepped up his dire warnings about the caravans in a scathing Twitter rant this week
"This is an invasion of our Country and our Military is waiting for you!" But any migrants who complete the long trek to the southern US border already face major hurdles — both physical and bureaucratic — to being allowed into the United States
In an interview on Monday, Mr Trump said the US would build "tent cities" for asylum seekers
"We're going to put tents up all over the place," told Fox News Channel's Laura Ingraham
"They're going to be very nice and they're going to wait and if they don't get asylum, they get out
" Under current protocol, migrants who clear an initial screening are often released until their cases are decided in immigration court, which can take several years
The Pentagon's "Operation Faithful Patriot" was described by the commander of US Northern Command as an effort to help Customs and Border Protection "harden the southern border" by stiffening defences at and near legal entry points
Advanced helicopters will allow border protection agents to swoop down on migrants trying to cross illegally, said Air Force Gen
Terrence O'Shaughnessy. Troops planned to bring heavy concertina wiring to unspool across open spaces between ports
"We will not allow a large group to enter the US in an unlawful and unsafe manner," Kevin McAleenan, commissioner of Customs and Border Protection said
A KEY ELECTION ISSUE The escalating rhetoric over the migrants and expected deployments come as the president has been trying to turn immigration into a key election issue, just days before elections that will determine whether Republicans maintain control of Congress
"This will be the election of the caravans, the Kavanaughs, law and order, tax cuts, and you know what else? It's going to be the election of common sense," Mr Trump said at a rally in Illinois on Saturday night
On Monday, he tweeted without providing evidence, "Many Gang Members and some very bad people are mixed into the Caravan heading to our Southern Border
" It's possible there are criminals mixed in with immigration, but Mr Trump has not substantiated his claim that members of the MS-13 gang, in particular, are among them
The troops are expected to perform a wide variety of functions such as transporting supplies for the Border Patrol, but not engage directly with migrants seeking to cross the border, officials said
One US official said the troops will be sent initially to staging bases in California, Texas and Arizona while the CBP works out precisely where it wants the troops positioned

U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command: Always Ready. Always There. - Duration: 3:10.
In the Air Force, if it leaves the ground, we fly it.
From satellites to fighter jets.
But some of us fly the heavies,
airplanes so big you can fit other aircraft inside them.
If something needs to get there fast, we're the ones they call.
No matter where there is.
All we need is a flat stretch of dirt or sheet of ice to get in and get out.
You see, Mobility's roots run deep and when you've been doing something for as long as we have, you get pretty good at it.
It was September 7, 1918 when we first transported a group of soldiers from Chanute Airfield to Champaign, Illinois
and we haven't stopped since.
We paid the ultimate sacrifice
to save a battalion of soldiers lost behind enemy lines during World War I.
We flew over The Hump more times than we can count and over the beaches of Normandy as many times as it took.
When the Russians tried to wall off Berlin from the rest of the world,
we air dropped hope in the form of food and medical supplies for more than a year.
That's why we do this job.
Give us an impossible mission, and we'll find a way to get it done.
When our fighters need to travel halfway around the world, our tankers serve as gas stations in the sky.
We can turn a C-17 into a mobile hospital at a moment's notice when a life depends on it, and it always does.
Sure the hours are long, and we're away from our families more than we'd like, but
if that's what it takes to get another service member home to their family, then sign us up.
There's not a corner of this globe that is out of our reach,
or any passenger we're not prepared to carry there.
We show up to work every day
ready to move the right stuff to the right place at the right time.
Some days that means delivering food and other life-saving supplies to hurricane victims.
Other days it means bringing home our nation's most treasured cargo, which we do with honor and dignity.
When our tails land in a different country that has experienced tragedy, they know help has arrived.
We will transport the most powerful weapons known to man and take the fight to the enemy when we need to.
We serve our brothers and sisters in arms and know they've come to rely on us.
We take pride in that.
We're Air Mobility Command.
All we need is a plane and we'll move anything you've got anywhere you need it.
Aim high, Airman

US military to send 5,200 troops, helicopters, heavy equipment to border - Duration: 7:10.
The U.S. military announced Monday that, by the end of the week, it will send 5,200 active duty troops to the southwest border, as well as helicopters and heavy equipment to build new barriers, to meet a request from the Department of Homeland Security to augment resources in anticipation of the arrival of two caravans of migrants currently in Mexico
The deployment of active duty service members was triggered by President Trump's remarks last week that he wanted the military to get involved in dealing with the caravan of migrants from Central America
On Monday, Trump, who has made the caravan and immigration a top issue ahead of the midterm elections, tweeted that the caravan of migrants included "Many Gang Members and some very bad people" and that they would not be allowed to enter the United States unless they went through "the legal process"
"This is the invasion of our country and our Military is waiting for you!" he added
In announcing the deployment, the head of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) cited concerns over the migrant caravans as reasons why his agency was adding 1,000 personnel along the border and requesting assistance from the Department of Defense
McAleenan said the caravan in Mexico now numbers 3,500 people and cited a second group of 3,000 that has become a concern because it has had violent interactions with security personnel as it attempted to enter Mexico Sunday
"We want to be ready for that," he said. "We think this opportunity to harden our ports of entry, to be ready for mobile deployment between ports is a better way to prepare for the potential arrival of a large group like this
" Gen. Terrence O'Shaughnessy, the commander of U.S. Northern Command, told a Washington news conference that 800 soldiers from Fort Campbell and Fort Knox in Kentucky were already en route to Texas as the first wave of Operation Faithful Patriot
"I think the president has made it clear that border security is national security," said O'Shaughnessy
"That's the direction we are given. That's the direction we are marching to. Our orders are very clear
We are engaged and here to support CBP. We are going to secure the border." He described the 5,200 troops to be deployed as just "the start of this operation" that could be adjusted as needed
According to O'Shaughnessy, the active duty troops will help "harden" the border using the Army Corps of Engineers and construction units that will build vehicle barriers and fencing
Like the 2,100 National Guardsmen already deployed in a similar mission, the active duty troops will not carry out law enforcement duties, since that is prohibited by the federal law kn9own as Posse Comitatus
"Everything that we are doing is in line with and adherence to Posse Comitatus," said O'Shaughnessy
As part of a 45-day mission, the active duty forces will begin arriving in ports of entry in a support role and then move onto other support projects like construction of temporary housing for Customs and Border Protection personnel, medical support and use helicopters to transport CBP officers to hard to reach areas along the border
The helicopter units will also use their sophisticated equipment "to spot, identify groups and rapidly deploy CBP personnel where they are needed
" Northhcom has already begun pre-positioning gear to the border area. "We have enough concertina wire to cover up to 22 miles, already deployed already to the border," said O'Shaughnessy
"We have additional concertina wire that we can string, with over 150 miles available
" About 1,800 active duty forces are planned to be sent to Texas; 1,700 to Arizona and 1,500 to California said multiple U
S. officials. The specific states were selected to match the support requirements made by Customs and Border Protection
Last week, in an exclusive interview with ABC News, Vice President Mike Pence would not rule out the option of closing down the border ahead of the midterm elections
Asked if the president is mulling an executive order to stop all immigration at the border, Pence said: "What we need to do is secure our border
The president will take steps to do that. But we also need to reform our laws." McAleenan denied that the deployment of additional CBP and U
S. military personnel was triggered by American political concerns. "This is a law enforcement operation from CBP 's perspective," he said
"And we partner with DOD all the time to help secure our border." Last Friday when news of the deployment of active duty troops was first reported, officials had said that as many as 800 to 1,000 forces might be sent to the border
A U.S. official said that number was an initial estimate and that as planning developed the numbers increased

Chinese Subversion & Corruption of U.S.A is Deep and Far Reaching - Duration: 15:08.
Hello and welcome to Declassified,
I'm your host Gina Shakespeare.
Today on the show, Chinese subversion of the United States is deep and far reaching.
Please feel free to subscribe to Declassified,
like and hit the notifications button,
this story is by senior investigative reporter from the Epoch Times, Joshua Phillip.
For decades, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been subverting the United States by
infiltrating, undermining, and influencing its key institutions.
This topic is only recently coming to the surface.
Vice President Mike Pence said on Oct. 4,
"Beijing is employing a whole-of-government approach to advance its influence
and benefit its interests."
He added that the CCP is working to influence U.S. elections and domestic policies,
and "today, the Chinese Communist Party is rewarding or coercing American businesses,
movie studios, universities, think tanks, scholars, journalists,
and local, state, and federal officials."
But if we take a look at some of the examples of the problem,
it become much more real, starting with censorship and theft in U.S. business.
With the subversion of businesses,
the CCP is forcing U.S. companies to
abide by its domestic censorship programs.
On April 25, the CCP's Chinese Civil Aviation Administration
sent a letter to 36 foreign air carriers demanding they change the descriptions of "Taiwan,"
"Hong Kong," and "Macao" to follow CCP propaganda.
The White House responded to this demand on May 5,
with the press secretary saying,
"This is Orwellian nonsense,
and part of a growing trend by the Chinese Communist Party
to impose its political views on American citizens and private companies."
Many companies also agree to follow CCP censorship.
Google and Facebook are examples of this,
since even though they're blocked in China,
they have both agreed at times to take down content for the CCP.
There has also been plenty of chatter about Chinese economic theft.
But did you know that some U.S. companies
are forced to knowingly hand over intellectual property to access the Chinese market?
A 2017 U.S. government survey of the integrated chip industry
found that 25 companies were forced to form joint ventures with Chinese companies,
and transfer their technology.
The United States has lost close to $1.2 trillion from intellectual-property theft,
mainly from the CCP, over the last three years, according to The Hill.
That number doesn't even include patent infringement.
The CCP has even gone to the source with this type of theft,
and according to former senior U.S. Naval intelligence officer John Jordan,
China's Ministry of State Security has agents in Silicon Valley assigned for this purpose.
There is also spying on customers, and this goes to the chip level of devices.
Bloomberg recently claimed the CCP was spying at the chip level
on Amazon and Apple devices.
Examples of the CCP spying by through supply-chain threats goes back much farther, however,
and includes chips, firmware, infected apps, data-sharing programs, and other vulnerabilities.
The Epoch Times has reported on this since at least 2010.
Next step, subversion of films and entertainment
As part of its focus on "culture warfare,"
the CCP has also subverted Hollywood and the U.S. entertainment industry.
The U.S.–China Economic and Security Review Commission
reported in October 2015 that "China views film as a component of social control,"
and that when regulating film,
"the CCP's concerns are positioned above all other interests."
Films are screened by the CCP's State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film, and Television,
which decides whether they can be shown in China,
and filmmakers are actively catering to the administration's policies.
Some filmmakers are agreeing to co-produce films with the administration,
which gives them a stronger chance of entering China,
but also ensures the films fall under the CCP's laws on films and censorship.
CCP laws on films include requirements, among many,
that they need to have at least one scene shot in China,
cast at least one Chinese actor,
and illustrate "positive Chinese elements."
Anything that shows the CCP's human-rights abuses,
poverty, totalitarian social monitoring,
or other serious issues aren't allowed to be shown.
Under CCP censorship law,
Hollywood also can't show the United States or U.S. military in a positive light.
This is serious when you consider
how much of the U.S. film industry either is directly owned by Chinese companies,
such as through the Dalian Wanda Group,
or has agreed to work with the CCP.
Next step, influence of US universities and education
Through financing, research partnerships, and other joint programs,
the CCP has also managed to subvert American universities.
Foreign Policy reported in May,
"On campuses across the United States,
funding gaps are leaving departments with little choice
but to turn to those groups with the deepest pockets—
and China is keen to offer money,
especially through its global network of Confucius Institutes."
This money comes with a price, however,
since the CCP takes its Faustian bargain as an opening
for censorship and influence.
Foreign Policy, for instance,
noted that the co-director of Savannah State University's Confucius Institute
has directly engaged in censoring information on Taiwan.
Then there are the Chinese Student and Scholar Associations (CSSA),
which are often openly financed and directed by Chinese consulates.
The CSSA pressure Chinese students and block events in American universities,
based on CCP censorship programs.
In one case at the University of California– San Diego in 2017,
the local CSSA tried to block the Dalai Lama from speaking at commencement.
The Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars
released a report documenting cases of Chinese embassy officials
trying to infringe on U.S. academic freedoms.
It states, "Over the past two decades,
PRC diplomats stationed in the United States
have infringed on the academic freedom
of American university faculty, students, administrators, and staff."
The CCP has done this by "complaining to universities about invited speakers and events;
pressuring and/or offering inducements to faculty
whose work involves content deemed sensitive by the PRC authorities"
and other methods, the report says.
Sometimes, the CCP's pressure includes threats and intimidation of professors.
Subverting academia and policy
At think tanks,
which have a role in shaping government policy,
the CCP has made significant efforts to push its interests either through funding,
through partnerships, or by influencing the academics involved.
Bill Gertz at The Washington Free Beacon reported on Aug. 24
that one of the CCP's main overt spy agencies, the United Front Department,
is actively involved in operations to influence think tanks in Washington.
He cites a congressional commission report,
stating the CCP "employs tens of thousands of operatives" to promote its policies,
and includes "paying several Washington think tanks,
with the goal of influencing their actions
and adopting positions that support Beijing's policies."
The report says the CCP
"has sought to influence academic discourse on China
and, in certain instances, has infringed upon—
and potentially criminally violated—
rights to freedoms of speech and association
that are guaranteed to Americans and those protected by U.S. laws."
As an example, Gertz notes that Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies
receives funding from Tung Chee-hwa,
a vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference,
which directs the United Front Department.
"The funding for Johns Hopkins came from Tung's non-profit group in Hong Kong...
which is a registered Chinese agent," he writes.
Gertz notes China ties exist with Brookings Institution,
Atlantic Council, Center for American Progress,
EastWest Institute, Carter Center,
and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
When it comes to the academics themselves,
the CCP actively pressures them to self-censor.
Academics who break CCP censorship policy,
including on the regime's serious human-rights violations,
risk being blacklisted from China.
Major news outlets are even actively promoting CCP propaganda,
disguised as paid inserts meant to resemble legitimate news content
from the CCP's China Daily state-run news outlet.
The paid inserts have in the past defended
the CCP's often brutal human-rights violations
and excused its crackdowns on religious liberty.
Sometimes, the paid inserts correspond with broader pushes.
This has included paid inserts in The New York Times and other outlets,
alongside paid broadcasts from CCP state-run media in Times Square
to defend the CCP's military push into the South China Sea.
Part of this was run through the Xinhua news agency,
which the Trump administration in September ordered to register as a foreign agent.
Let that sink in for a moment:
Foreign agents interested in shaping U.S. public opinion
are paying major news outlets to republish propaganda.
This doesn't just tie to CCP government policy.
It also ties to its military doctrine,
under its "Three Warfares" system
of psychological warfare, legal warfare, and media warfare.
The goal of Three Warfares is to alter how people interpret information,
create legal blockades to defend CCP actions,
and control people's exposure to information through its influence on media.
"The 'Three Warfares' were injected into a section of guidelines
that has been consistent since at least the 1963 revision,
which directs the Political Work Department,"
according to the website War on the Rocks.
The Diplomat reported that under the Three Warfares doctrine,
the CCP creates "cognitive maps" that then "guide the direction
and character of tailored influence operations,
including conversion, exploitation, or subversion."
In conjunction, the CCP's propaganda department
"broadcasts sustained internal and external strategic perception management campaigns
through mass media and cyberspace channels
to promote specific themes favorable for China's image abroad."
And for the final segment today,
foreign agents and political control
In addition to all these systems to control information,
silence academics, influence policy, censor news outlets,
and pressure students,
the CCP also has programs to more directly influence U.S. political circles.
Among the groups behind the CCP's subversion of elite circles is the Committee of 100.
Epoch Times columnist Trevor Loudon said the group
"regularly sends delegations of American journalists to China and facilitates meetings
with high-level government and business leaders."
Chinese consulates also engage in direct pressure on U.S. politicians,
and The Epoch Times has documented cases in which U.S. representatives have received calls from the CCP,
which attempts to pressure them over their stances on the Chinese regime's human-rights abuses.
Cognoscenti Group reported that
"Chinese political warfare and influence operations
actively target foreign governments, organizations, groups,
and individuals to shape their perceptions and behavior."
"Driven by its political goals,
Chinese influence operations are a centerpiece of the PRC's overall foreign policy
and military strategy," it states.
The Washington Free Beacon reported, "China has enfolded many former U.S. officials as
part of its lobbying efforts and influence operations.
Gertz said China has used coercive measures on Americans to serve its own interests."
Gertz said in the story that the CCP's efforts "have literally changed the direction of
American foreign policy toward China."
The Project 2049 Institute detailed the CCP's political-warfare operations
in an October 2013 report, stating,
"Political warfare is a critical component
of Chinese security strategy and foreign policy."
On the significance of this, it states,
"Political warfare seeks to influence emotions, motives,
objective reasoning, and behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups,
and individuals in a manner favorable to one's own political-military objectives."
That's all the time we have for today,
thank you very much for watching.

US Politics in 60 Seconds - October 29, 2018 - Duration: 1:18.
Hi, it's Ben White, chief economic correspondent for Politico, with your US politics in just 60 seconds.
All right, let's start the clock.
Republicans are certainly concerned that it's going to slow whatever momentum they had after
the Kavanaugh nomination.
It's certainly dominating the news and will be on everyone's minds as they head out to the polls.
If Democrats take the House, they've promised to make protecting transgender rights a top priority.
I think they'll pass it in the House if they take control.
The future after that, unclear.
Suppression they should certainly worry about, particularly in Georgia, where we've seen
multiple reports of attempts to suppress the vote.
Voter fraud is almost nonexistent in this country and they shouldn't worry about it at all.
Final question:
Well, the main issue is Trump.
The second issue is Trump.
The third issue is Trump.
It's all about the president in the midterms.
But in terms of other issues, healthcare number one.
Economy – as usual – number two.
That's your US politics in just 60 seconds.
I'm Ben White.
