But they came up with a bill, the last of the administration, trying to show they cared about the border. What they did, it was a setup. Let's get a couple of Republicans to agree to this. It will never pass. We know it will never pass. Then we say, Republicans shut down border security. They didn't want to fix it. They didn't sign this bill. President didn't support it. He didn't want it fixed.

He wanted it to be an election issue. That was a bunch of crap. The bill wouldn't have worked. It would have made things worse. I've done it longer than anybody up on the Hill that was involved in writing this bill has been involved. It was a setup. Let's set a bill up. We know it will never be passed. Then we can put the blame on them for not passing the bill. That was their game plan.

The biggest game changer in securing the border was President Trump and his executive orders. They were the hugest big game changers. But we basically went down the same road we did before. And we added a few other things to it, like the Alien Enemies Act.

We used every tool in the toolbox, every statute we could, every angle we could of existing laws, existing statutes, existing acts to secure that border. Rather than making the Border Patrol problem, or an ICE problem, we made it all a government problem. The game changer, President Trump.

The game changer was the men and women of ICE and the men and women of the Border Patrol that actually did it, took construction, got it done. They're the heroes in all this.

Remain in Mexico, game changer.

Out of all their policies, the last two administrations, Trump administration, that's the biggest game changer. You can still claim asylum. You have that right, but you're going to wait in Mexico. Because we know nine out of ten of you will lose and get order removal, and now we don't think we'll find you. And releasing people in the United States just is an enticement for people to come.
