. . .

President Donald Trump renewed calls to fund a US-Mexico border wall on Wednesday following the arrest of a suspect in the death of 20-year-old University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts.

"A person came in from Mexico, illegally, and killed her," Trump claimed in a White House video on Wednesday. "We need the wall, we need our immigration laws changed, we need our border laws changed."

"We need Republicans to do it because the Democrats aren't going to do it," Trump said. "This is one instance of many. We have tremendous crime trying to come through the borders."

On Tuesday, shortly after Tibbetts' body was found in a corn field, law enforcement officials arrested 24-year-old Cristihian Bahena Rivera.

Will destroy the banana republicans at this Nov. election from this and all the corruption, and acts of treason against this country by them and trump. This will only incite more to vote against them, and for their removal from office. The American people are fed up with all the lying , corruption , and self dealing , and especially they're acts of treason by taking putin's money, and corrupting our elections.
