Maybe we can't stop it all over the
world, but the least we can do is to take steps to protect our own
citizens from this type of fanatical threat that hangs over us. Well, we need to take specific steps that can and should be done to
help deal with this danger. I have, in fact, discussed a plan with the
President--and this is a few months ago--and we have had a lot of work
and a lot of things under the bridge since then, but his commitment to
border security includes placing a wall on the Southern border. Yes, making sure that we have border security, and yes, if it takes a
wall on our Southern border, the President is right on target. A wall
and beefing up our border will, of course, be expensive. That is why I
laid out a plan to the President and have since offered legislation
that would pay for President Trump's proposed border wall. The car attack in New York has altered many Americans and alerted
many Americans to something they didn't know about before, and that is
that we have an immigration system, an immigration law that permits
50,000 people to immigrate into our country every year--50,000 people
who are chosen by lottery, not by some really looking at them, some
examination of their credentials, seeing what they could contribute,
no. A lottery. And, of course, Senator Schumer in the Senate, I guess, was the man
who actually insisted on this.
