Donald Trump claimed it was 'ironic' that migrants were waving the flags of the 'dangerous' countries they are fleeing from to seek asylum in the US.
The President claimed the migrant caravan travelling from Central America to the US border in search of asylum is a 'BIG CON' which the American taxpayer is paying for.
In a series of fiery tweets tonight, Potus claimed: 'Isn’t it ironic that large Caravans of people are marching to our border wanting U.S.A. asylum because they are fearful of being in their country - yet they are proudly waving their country’s flag.

He claimed the fact migrants were travelling to the US border was a 'big con' implying that they are not fleeing persecution in their home countries as some are carrying national flags
'Can this be possible? Yes, because it is all a BIG CON, and the American taxpayer is paying for it!'.
Trump has already deployed thousands of active-duty military troops, hundreds of Border Patrol agents, and miles of barbed wire along border posts with Mexico to prevent what he has described as a possible 'invasion' of the country.
The mayor of Tijuana said Friday that the city was preparing for an influx that will last at least six months and may have no end in sight.
More than 3,000 Central American migrants having reached the Mexican border across from California and thousands more are expected to arrive in the coming days.
Juan Manuel Gastelum said there were 2,750 migrants from the caravan in Tijuana and that estimates by Mexico's federal government indicate the number could approach 10,000.
'No city in the world is prepared to receive this - if I'm allowed - this avalanche,' he said during a news conference at City Hall. 'It is a tsunami. There is concern among all citizens of Tijuana'.

US border inspectors are processing only about 100 asylum claims a day at Tijuana's main crossing to San Diego, creating long waits.
Asylum seekers register their names in a tattered notebook managed by migrants themselves that had more than 3,000 names even before the caravan arrived.
Along the nearly 3,000 miles from the caravan's origin in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, to this city on the Pacific Ocean, the migrants have stopped in most places for only a single night, with some exceptions.
That overwhelmed small towns in southern Mexico in particular - but only briefly.
The migrants' expected long stay in Tijuana has raised concerns about the ability of the teeming border city of more than 1.6 million to handle the influx.
Pleading for financial support from the Mexican government, Gastelum sternly warned migrants against criminal behavior, though authorities reported only seven arrests so far - five for drug consumption and two for disorderly conduct.
'Supposedly they are fleeing catastrophe, mistreatment in their countries of origin.

'How is it possible that they arrive here and, if they want, create disorder?' the mayor said. It's not right'.
Tijuana has asked the Mexican federal government for $4 million so the city could accommodate thousands of migrants who part of a caravan that for the past month has been making its way to the border.
The request for funds from the government comes as tensions between the migrants and local Mexicans has grown tense.
On Wednesday, a fight broke out as Mexicans yelled at the migrants: 'Go home. We don’t want you here!'.
Members of the caravan said local police made no attempt to break up the fight.
Migrants travelling in a caravan from Central America were abused and had rocks thrown at them in a neighborhood in Tijuana as they reached the Mexican border.
Border agents said they are ready for the mass asylum requests, which could take six months to process.
'We’ve been getting ready before this happened,' Rodney Scott, chief patrol agent of the Border Patrol's San Diego sector, told Fox & Friends.
'We have shifted several hundred border patrol areas to here. We will not let people mass across the border here in San Diego'.
While the border is not closed, US officials said members of the caravan are expected to get in line – just like everyone else.
It’s unclear right now how long it will take to process thousands of migrants expected to try and cross the border in the coming weeks.
'We will not deny access to the ports of entry, said Pete Flores, U.S. Customs and Border Protection field office director.
'But we may ask undocumented persons to wait until we have the capacity to process them'.
A municipal gymnasium and recreational complex that has been converted to a shelter was expected to register up to 1,000 people Thursday night but ended up housing more than 2,000, including more than 400 children.

Tijuana officials said they opened the shelter as part of an effort to keep migrants out of public spaces.
The city's privately run shelters are meant to have a capacity of 700.
At the municipal shelter, long lines formed for showers and meals of tuna casserole or noodle soup with coffee. Outdoor canopies covered rows of mattresses and blankets.

Francisco Rueda, the top deputy to Baja California Governor Francisco Vega de la Madrid, said Thursday that the state had 7,000 jobs available for any migrants who obtain legal status in Mexico.
Gustavo Magallanes, director of Baja California's migrant attention agency, said Friday that the state is doing the best it can at a difficult time and that, nearing the end of the year, agencies at all levels of government lack funds.
The governor had also asked federal officials to speak to their U.S. counterparts about possibly accelerating asylum processing, he said.
Magallanes said the governor had not ordered that more migrants be prevented from arriving in Tijuana, but said state officials were telling people in the caravan they might get processed faster in the city of Mexicali because the list in Tijuana is so long.
Magallanes said it was 'likely' the migrants could be waiting in Tijuana for four to six months.
The state government plans to push them to regularize their immigration status in Mexico so they can be offered work.
He said he could not speak for Tijuana's mayor but believed his comments had been misinterpreted.
'We are looking for the best way for these Central American migrants to be able to be in the best situation in this state,' Magallanes said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
