It was a plea to sort of stop the chaos and to calm down the chaos.

And I read it and I thought, OK, this is a good human being, even though I disagree with this politics.

And of course, we don't want immigration enforcement to be chaotic.

It's one of the reasons why we've encouraged state and local officials to work with us.

But fundamentally, the question is, are we allowed to do what the American people elected us to do?

Biden lets in, call it 20 million illegal aliens.

If the courts tell us that we're not allowed to deport the people that the American people elected us to deport, that's fundamentally not about even immigration anymore.

That's about democracy.

Are the American people still sovereign if one administration can do something and the other administration can't do what the American people elected them to do in order to reverse it?

And you think about even there's another layer to it, which is nobody elected Joe Biden to open the border.

If you actually look at what Joe Biden said on immigration during the 2020 campaign, he sounded a lot more like a moderate, even conservative Republican.

And then, of course, they got into power and they opened the border.

So doesn't it cast into doubt the legitimacy of our system if one president running on

reasonable immigration enforcement, opens the border, and then another president is not allowed to close it and deport all those people who came, I think that's fundamentally what's at stake here.

Do judges control, does the far left control the American constitutional republic, or do the people?

And I believe the people are sovereign, which is why we've pursued the policies that we have.

Yeah.

So I actually, I kind of like that our side is so insistent on this issue.

I like the pressure.

I like people saying, we recognize you've done a lot.
