Because under the last administration, they told ICE, immigration officers who took an oath to enforce immigration law, Mayorkas told ICE, you can't arrest somebody for being here illegally. They have to be arrested for a serious crime, convicted of a serious crime before you can take action. They rewrote immigration law. Well, no, the statute is clear.
We told ICE agents, you will uphold the oath you took. You will enforce the laws you took an oath to enforce. So if you find an illegal alien while you're looking for that bad guy, take him into custody. So again, sanctuary cities, everybody said, why are there so many cloud arrests? Because you forced me in the neighborhood. So we're going to flood the zone.

Let me tell you something. The last four years, I've made a dozen trips to the border. I was a Border Patrol agent. So I go down there, I just see what's going on. Most of the agents recognize me, and they talk freely with me. They're admissible. They considered themselves Uber drivers, tourist agents. They weren't enforcing the law.

They were simply finding people they arrested, people across the border. I wouldn't say arrest them. They took them, they detained them, they processed them, and took them to an airport or bus station, or hand them over to NGO who took them to an airport or bus station. They were arresting people who broke our laws, entered the country illegally, and sending them around their way.

Children, they send them to ORR, and ORR would deliver them, the children, to the very people, many times, that arranged to have them smuggled to the United States. That's a felony.

We want to hold people accountable, but that's what was occurring. So the morale was in the toilet. Border Patrol agents were quitting, retiring early. Recruiting, it couldn't get recruiting done at all. ICE, same thing. Last month, under the board of directors, the highest recruiting numbers ever in the history of the agency because people want to be a part of this.

When that video came out, I was sitting in my living room. Now, I was a Border Patrol agent. I know there was some engagement. I saw that video. I think, okay. They did perfectly. They performed perfectly. The horses performed perfectly. Just like the horses in New York City that do crowd control. The horses, they're trained very well.
