We now have zero crossings.
And number two, deport the criminals, right?
And I think that in many ways they've been very successful.
We are seeing thousands of criminals that have committed real serious crimes, deported, those migrant shelters that were popping up.
all over New York City being funded by the taxpayer are now closed.
But we also see that there are areas where they've gone too far.
And we've had a real discussion about this with the Speaker and with the White House because we want to see some type of balance here, right?
And I think that's what the American people want.
So you secured the border, you're deporting the criminals.
But when it comes to these raids, I think they are problematic.
But I think...
The other issue is that the municipalities are not cooperating to deport those criminals.
So if they're not turning over these people, which in New York City recently there was an article saying 7,000 individuals, including murderers and rapists, were released back onto the street instead of turned over to ICE.
And so when you have a situation where the local government is not cooperating to enforce the laws of our nation, these raids happen.
Because now they've got to go in there and find those criminals.
And the problem is you're putting...
public at risk, you're putting those officers at risk.
And so we really do need to see a cooperation, some common ground that we're going to focus on those criminals, but we need these local governments to cooperate with us.
And then the second part of this is obviously immigration reform.
You know, there's a group of us Hispanic Republicans who met with the speaker recently.
