There needs to be a consequence for those that were released illegally by the Biden administration. There needs to be a consequence for those that get away. We got to send a message to the whole world. It's not okay to enter this country illegally. It's a crime. And if you get due process, a great taxpayer expansion, you get order removed by a judge, you got to leave.
So I've dealt with the questions yesterday. Well, this mass deportation, it's inhumane, it's racist. No, it's not. When you have massive historical illegal immigration where immigration court data shows nine out of 10 people that claim asylum at the border end up with an order of removal because they simply don't qualify for asylum.

You can give them due process, but at the end of that due process, if you get a court order saying you got to leave, if we don't execute that order, then what the hell are we doing? Shut down the immigration court. Orders don't mean anything anymore. Take the border control off the border because there's no consequences. No, you can't demand due process. You can't demand to see a judge.

You can't demand the right to do this. And at the end of that due process, if the final order isn't carried out, then due process means nothing. And it sends a message to the whole world. You can cross the border legally. It's a crime, but don't worry about it. You'll be released. You can cross the border illegally and demand to see a judge. And when you lose your case, no one's looking for you.

If that's the message we send to the whole world, you're never going to fix this. And the next administration, you're going to see everything turned back around again and we're in trouble once again.

You know, I believe that, you know, ICE leadership is not in my chain of command. They work for Secretary of Homeland Security. I work with very closely. I know there's been some retirements and there's been some transfers, but that decision is up to the secretary because ICE works for her. I just, you know, we just need strong leadership in there. It's going to push these numbers.

I think we have a strong acting director in Todd Lyons. The reason I say that, because the men and women of ICE respect leadership that's done the job. You know, for I don't know how long, the last decades, they bring somebody in from the outside, some attorney, somebody that worked the campaign, and they make them the ICE director.

I like the fact that we got a person that spent decades doing this job, had to respect the men and women in the field because he did the job. When I was ICE director, ICE had the highest morale in the history of the agency.
