Southern Command. and other Federal agencies are there serving usto do just that. At the same time. we cannot solve all the worlds ills and our foremost responsibility is to Americans. not foreigners. We can help reduce the push factors in foreign countries driving migrants to our borders. but we are not obligated to accept their citizens into our country. On the contrary. our obligation is to protect and serve Americans. To do so. we must eliminate the pull factors for these migrants here at home. Like any country. we have a right. indeed. we have a duty to control who comes to our country and allow them here only if it is in our national interests. America is a nation of immigrants. but we are also a nation of laws. Secretary Clinton has not only displayed contempt for our immigration laws but also encouraged foreigners to break those laws. to their own grave danger. We must say to these foreigners. loudly and clearly: Do not make this dangerous journey. Do not violate our laws.
