We should not have a situation where politics get in the way by
people who lost the election and are now trying to stop and interfere
with those people who won the election. That is what the democratic
process is all about. And the proposal that I am making when it comes
to border security is that--and I was very honored to be asked into the
Oval Office by President Trump and to give him some ideas that might be
good ideas on how to handle some of these problems. What I suggested to him is, any wall that he has suggested will be
built along our southern border will cost tens of billions of dollars. Well, I had a proposal that I made to him, and I have made to the
leadership here in the House, and I hope that they do not ignore this
because it is vitally important if we are serious about stopping this
massive flow of illegal immigrants into our country. We have to be
building that wall, if nothing else, as symbolism that this is a
sovereign country, and we demand that our border laws be respected. Well, what I am proposing is a change from a currently existing
immigration law. And that is, we bring in 1 million legal immigrants
every year. But guess what? Of that 1 million legal immigrants that we
permit in--which I applaud--but among that 1 million legal immigrants,
there are 50,000 of them coming in who are selected. What? They are not selected by a process where you study who is what, who
we need here, what kind of skills we need.
