So we've got to give less money.
You've got to give less money to the refugeesβ
And then you have to have more scrutiny of it.
But the interesting question is, if I put forward a bill that says we're going to audit all the welfare, not just the refugee program, we're going to audit all the cash transfer programs for every state.
Do you think any Democrats will vote for that?
I don't think one would run for it.
But you could argue you're actually making it better for poor people because I'm trying to get rid of the Somalis stealing it so more of the dollars actually go to people who are poor.
Unfortunately, like this is just how... And that's the problem with having the debate.
I do believe that they understand that most of the people coming across will ultimately be voters and that two out of three will vote Democrat.
So it's all power politics.
They say it's about humanity and being humane and all that.
It's all about voting demographics and they want these people to come in because many of them are suffering through sex trafficking, all the other crap that went along with this mass migration.
So I don't think it's necessarily a best place to be.

He fixed it before any money was allotted.
He fixed it in the first three months and it went from whatever the number was down.
