Trump: ‘Our Immigration System Should Be The Subject of Pride, Not a Source of Shame’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Our immigration system should be the subject of pride, not a source of shame, as it is all over the world. You are immigration system should be the envy of the world, not a symbol of disunity and dysfunction. The good news is these problems can all be solved, but only if we have the political courage to do what is just and what is right. Both sides in Washington must simply come together, listen to each other, put down their armor, build trust, reach across the aisle, and find solutions. It is time to reclaim our future from the extreme voices who fear compromise and demand open borders, which means drugs pouring in, human trafficking, and a lot of crime. That is why I’m here today to break the logjam and provide Congress with a path forward to end the government shutdown and solve the crisis on the southern border. If we are successful in this effort, we will then have the best chance in a very long time at real bipartisan immigration and it won’t stop here. It will keep going until we do it all. The proposal I will outline today is based on first and foremost on input from our border agents and homeland security professionals and professionals they are. They know what they are doing. It is a compassionate response to the ongoing tragedy on our southern border.”
