They created the biggest national security vulnerability this nation has ever seen. We got a record number of people on terrorist watch lists being arrested. We got 2.2 million people. And this is my biggest issue I brought up for the last two years. It's just not about illegal immigration anymore. You cause a crisis this big that overwhelms the border patrol,
where many times 70% of agents were pulled off the line dealing with this humanitarian crisis, right? Changing diapers, making baby formula, making hospital runs, doing that humanitarian mission, leaving 30% of our Homeland Security officials left secure in the border.

There was times in the last two years where 100%, 100% of border police were pulled off the line, such as in El Paso, because when they got overcrowded, this administration said, wait, we can't have overcrowding. That's a bad optic. So let's pull every agent off the line, process as quick as possible, release as quick as possible, because if there's no overcrowding, there's nothing to see here.

The border's still secure. So when you overwhelm the border patrol, that's when all the bad things happen. That's when we got 2.2 million gotaways, right? That's when the fentanyl comes across to kill a quarter million Americans. That's why sex trafficking of women and children is up 600%. That's why the number of migrant deaths is at a historic high. So

This, what people call this innocent illegal immigration crisis, made a lot of bad things happen because the border patrol was strictly overwhelmed and couldn't do their national security.

I do not, but it's something that's going to be, I believe it should be investigated. I'm pushing people. I'm coming to the administration with it. We need to investigate it. Again, I've talked to numerous representatives on the Hill that swear they're going to have hearings on this. And we need to. American people need to know exactly what happened, who is responsible.

Well, the criminal cartels in Mexico, they were born out of the narcotics smuggling industry in Mexico, and they're powerful. Look, they're like a Fortune 500 company. This is not a gang anymore, right? Jalisco cartels, they're in over 45 countries of the world, right?

and not only are they responsible for moving narcotics in this country, they're currently in every major city in the United States, because not only are they smuggling the drugs in the United States, they're taking over the distribution within the United States, right? So, again... And I said this at the RNC, and President Trump agrees with me.
