Trump: ‘If You Don’t Have the Wall You Cannot Have Security’

‘I’d love not to build a wall but you need the wall’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "You need it. John, you need the wall. I mean, it's wonderful, I’d love not to build a wall but you need the wall. And I will tell you this, the ICE officers and the border patrol agents, I had them just recently up, they say if you don’t have the wall, you know, in certain areas obviously that aren’t protected by nature, if you don’t have the wall you cannot have security. You just can have it. It doesn’t work. And part of the problem we have is walls and fences that we currently have are in very bad shape. They are broken. We have to get them fixed or rebuilt. But you know, you -- you speak to the agents and I spoke to all of them. I spoke -- I lived with them. They endorsed me for a president, which they’ve never done before. The border patrol agents and ICE, they both endorsed Trump and they’ve never done that before. And I have a great relationship with them. They say, sir, without the wall, security doesn’t work. We are all wasting time."
