White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked if the Trump administration will change the way immigration laws are enforced during a Monday briefing.

Sanders shot back, saying that unlike the Obama administration, they were not going to make up laws.

WATCH:

“The president’s laid out what he would like to see,” she explained. “We’ve put out the things that we want to see in an immigration package months ago. We’re still waiting on Congress to give us the ability to do that.”

The reporter then responded, “So unless Congress acts, nothing is actually going to change. The administration is not changing anything right now when it comes to judges — ”

“You mean, are we walking around making up laws? No. Because we’re not the Obama administration. We’re enforcing the laws on the books. We’re asking Congress to do their part in the process and pass new legislation that will fix our immigration system.”

“So, but nothing is actually changing on the ground,” the reporter continued. “This is — the president is complaining about judges and saying we shouldn’t have the judges, but nothing is going to change. He’s just complaining about the process as it stands now?” the reporter asked.

“Things that we have the ability to do administratively we’re working to do. But again, Congress is the only one that has the ability to write law and we hope they do that,” Sanders said.
