TRUMP: "Over the last year, some incredible numbers. ICE and CBC seized more than 2.8 million pounds of illicit and deadly narcotics. A lot of people would have died. In the interior of our country, ICE officers arrested over 127,000 criminal aliens, and these are tough ones, aren’t they, fellows? These are tough ones, including those charged or convicted of 48,000 assaults, 12,000 sex crimes, and 1800 homicides. We need strong people to handle those people. We don’t play games, right? We don’t play games. Every day on average, CBC prevents 10 known or suspected terrorists from entering the United States. What a job you’ve done. To protect our nation from smuggling, trafficking, drugs, crime, the men and women of DHS are building the border wall as we sit, and the wall is getting longer and taller and stronger each and every day. We have spent and will soon be spending about $3.2 billion, and we are looking for about $5 billion for this next coming year. We are building the wall, step by step, and it’s not easy because we have a little opposition called the Democrats. I guess they just don’t mind crime. They don’t mind crime, it’s pretty sad. Just this past month, CBC officers at a single port of entry discovered more than 30,000 Fentanyl pills, 62 pounds of meth, that’s a lot, and 11 pounds of heroin."
