Well, look, it's going to add more border agents, Border Patrol agents to the border, along with OFO, which are the people who work the port of entries. It's going to add more technology to the port of entries, so we see more drugs and more contraband coming through.
Still speeding up the legal trade, but having the most recent up-to-date technology to move traffic quicker, but still catch the contraband. It's going to help us finish the wall. I mean, not only finish the wall, you know, several hundred miles of the wall, but it's going to also bond several hundred miles of water buoys, buoys placed in the river that are actually very, very effective.

And it's going to save lives because once a lot of illegal aliens see that buoy that you can't get over, you can't get under it, They won't risk getting in a river and drowning. It's going to save a lot of lives.

But the technology, even the existing wall, the new wall that President Trump built under 45, Joe Biden came in and not only ended building more wall, but ended the technology that went into the existing wall. that allows agents to have, you know, if you touch the wall, we know. If you dig under the wall, we know.

If you climb the wall, we know, because there's all sorts of technology within that wall. But most importantly, within that technology, you give border patrol agents ability to talk to one another in dead areas. There's a lot of areas on the border where there is no radio tower. There is no capability of a repeater system. So an agent's got to have an emergency, talk to another agent for backup.

There are some dead areas on the border. That's going to improve communications all across the border. So that's... It's going to fund that in the borders. We can finish what we started. The border is more secure in a lifetime. We've got to finish the job. This could be the first administration ever to have total operational control of our southern borders. We need to finish it.

We need money to do that. As far as interior operations, that funds more ICE agents. It's going to fund more detention beds, which we really seriously need. Right now we've got about 50,000 in detention. We need 100,000 beds to even put a dent in detention. what we're trying to do here.

So it's going to let us find beds because every person we arrest, we've got to bed them before we get travel docs and send them home. So it's going to buy us more beds. It's going to buy us more vehicles. It's going to increase ICE by 10,000, which we need. Right now there's 6,000 ERO officers compared to 20 million illegal aliens. So we've got a big hill to climb, so it's going to add more agents.

It's going to add more money for more beds. It's going to add money for more transport. both over the ground bus transport in the interior, plus international flights is going to add money to that. It's also going to allow us to build out more contract work.

So rather than a badge and gun with title eight authority, immigration authority sitting doing administrative job, let's get a contract to do that job and put that badge and gun on the street. So allow us for all these things so we can continue doing what we're doing. increase the interior enforcement arrest, as the American people have mandated President Trump to do.

It's going to let us finish the job we started. We're doing great, but we need more money. The more money we have, the more good stuff we can do.
