'One of the biggest self-owns ever': Jim Acosta says there's no emergency on the border while standing next to the wall

CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta wants America to know there's no national emergency on the border, no need for a wall. So he's flown down to the border to report live from the scene, and he says there's no issue.

Just one thing: He's standing next to the steel slats President Donald Trump wants Congress to fund elsewhere on the border.

The Burger King is literally down hill from where we shot this (for folks who are wondering - why it shows up)

Good job, Jim! You found out that there is no emergency in places where the border is secure with physical barriers.

President Trump will is traveling to Texas Thursday. Maybe he can thank Acosta for proving his point while he's there.
