Mr. President with those numbers from last year to tell the story why we need to continue to invest in security as well as close the loopholes with the immigration system. With people trying to cross illegally they drop dramatically. That intelligence indicates it is under your leadership. As you can see a low of 10000 back in april as is numbers, with this population he other factor increasing a port of entry and in that route due to the fact to take advantage of loopholes of legislation as well as congestion and my colleagues will give you a briefing. With a marked increase and with every category. And to be very significantly potent synthetic opioid. And with a 45 increase of assaults on men and women of those who risk themselves every day. And that increase the narcotics. And with those dangerous population. And to see this increase in like a border wall system but also those loopholes that we face. Also with character cocaine and heroin and math. Up through Central America coming across the land border. Also with opm and poppy growth coming through the land border but that is what we need to shut down with Border Patrol with the ports of entry. Actually we are with the government increases that we have had a significant improvement in our dialogue and effectiveness with enforcement over the last year. With a interdiction act that is helpful particularly on that fentanyl issue. So i just want to introduce the president to give remarks. This is quite a facility. And unless there is some reason that you cant but what i have just seen is pretty incredible. Pretty incredible. It is too bad that we need it but we need that no doubt we have put a lot behind it and putting a lot more behind it just from what you have heard right now it is going to get worse and out of control. It is very tough for the pushers and the drug dealers with all of our friends and people with the wonderful Blue Ribbon Committee with a tough enforcement you have to get tough on the dealers. As Congress ConsidersImmigration Reform this is the most important by far. I welcome the media. I want the media to hear this. This is a big, big problem. It takes a big solution to solve a big problem. The lawmakers can also hear the truth and through you. We are going for big funding and will be expanding these buildings. Their presentation today youll hear everyone explain reforms they need from congress, including securing the border that is also a wall, real wall, not a little wall like some people said. They have little walls, they dont work. You need a real wall. That will work 99. 9 . Securing the border, closing loopholes, and a chain migrati migration, and canceling the visa lottery. I assume everyone agree with that, right . I know you agree with that. These are men and women charged with keeping our criminals, stopping terrorists, interdicting narcotics and protecting our workers in our taxpayers, protecting americans. I think you for being here and for the incredible job you have been doing. Its tough and you dont get a lot of backup from congress are from different parties. I will tell you the Republican Party is with you 100 . We really want to get this all. We want strong borders, we want to give you loss, we want to stop the catch and release nonsense that goes on. You catch them and release him and you know theyre bad. The numbers weather coming from, theyre pouring in from el salvador, guatemala, honduras, mexico, all over. Just pouring into our country. We stopped it, but the laws make it very tough. If we had the right laws passed in congress here job would be hundred easier. It would be a whole different job. We have jobs if you catch someone you cant do anything. We have Court Systems that dont work. We have everything bad and were going to make everything good. Thats what were here for thats what we been working on hard with you. The Trump Administration is with you 100 . You have not been backed up properly. Everybody knows it. For political reasons and lots of different reasons. The Trump Administration is with you. Were going to clean up our borders, we will have great people come into our country. They will come in based on merit and for good reason. Were going to stop whats going on. We will stop it fast. Were going to stop it. The big thing is we have to stop with the drugs. You could on to any Law Enforcement agency in the precincts and say what percentage of your crime is drugrelated. Its usually numbers like 75 or 80 . A massive number. These countries are not our friends. We send the massive aid and i wont mention names right now. I look at the countries and the numbers and we send massive aid in their pouring drug Center Country and laughing at us. I want to stop the aid. If they cannot stop drugs from coming in because they can stop it easier than us. So we give them billions and billions of dollars and they dont do what theyre supposed to be doing. They know that. We are going to take our action. So the secretary can take over. Thank you. We have some quick graphics on how border walls work. Were going to build you one. Working with congress and you have just requested a 25 billion trust fund. We have a specific and targeted way in which to build a border wall system. As the technology and personnel to go with it. Your second point will turn over to acting director home in from ice. The loopholes they faced a in and day out is the fact that once we apprehend somebody we have difficulty under the current laws detaining them and removing them from the country. Will this be cleared up from the legislation if we can get the democrats to prove anything . Its pretty tough. But if we can get them to prove something, all of this which we desperately need for the people in this building will this be part of it . Absolutely. Its all included. Would you like to tell us more . First of all, thank you for the president to end for the 20000 men and women for helping a stored job. A 40 year low and crossings is not a coincidence. You have a 45 year low in border crossings . Thats a great number but were still unhappy about it, right . A very unhappy. A 45 year low on border crossings and im unhappy about it. Thats impressive nevertheless. You will do much better. Good luck. Theres some Things Holding us up and loopholes and decisions that prevent us from doing our jobs. The two numbers that have seen a recent increase are the family union and the children. Stockpile children first. Theres a lot, a trafficking victims act. What it has done to criminal organizations have exploited it. If your child for mexico and enter illegally your screen for trafficking but once we ascertain youre not traffic to can be returned to mexico. But if youre from Central America and not a victim of trafficking, we cannot remove them. Because the laws are no good. Our laws need to be fixed. You also have countries that will take them back. We made great progress this year but we want to treat all children the same because once you are released a child from Central America is going to claim asylum. Most once they get to court if they get to court they dont get asylum so there released a very few are ever removed. What percentage show up to court . About 3. 5 so that shows he was huge loophole. We talk about family units and theres other decisions in the state of california. The ninth circuit says we can only detain family units for a few weeks. Fear family want to come to the United States illegally will be detained for a few weeks gave vaccinations, only to be released into the community. Most wont show up in court pgh so, and eventually go out . We cannot detain them over 20 days. Of many people never leave the country. We need to address the court decisions. This doesnt make sense for anybody. This was made up by people who dont know what theyre doing. Its not like this in other countries. You tristate in mexico. Theyll throw you off fast. Look at other countries they have strong controls. We have no controls and a lot of it is congress fall. We will get a change. Because of the loopholes it drives for illegal immigration. Its not about enforcing the law, its about saving lives. Children and families are dying. They had people in dire straits last year. If we dont fix the loopholes were going to entice others to make that journey. The other challenge is retention. We dont want to get back to catch and release but we are catch and release. How bad is it . For family units its bad thats why we need a fixed. Start by detaining adults and criminals. Im not a fan of not profited jurisdiction. We have jurisdictions that shes politics over Public Safety. The release a criminal alien back into the public. Its bad policy. Are you talking about sanctuary cities. Yes, sir. They do a lot of things and not are very good. Its a Public Safety issue. When you really set back into the community they will reoffend. You can google the recidivism rate see that. Like to say theyre protecting immigrant communities but theyre going to go back in victimizes very immigrant communities. By not allowing them to be in the safety and security of the county jail our officers have to knock on the door and arrest somebody on their turf with a have access to who knows what weapons. Very unsafe. Since we have to go to home or place of business to arrest the criminal alien organ find others again for those jurisdictions that they were protecting your putting the danger back in theres more ice officers in your community so these communities that want to say they should focus on Public Safety, then help me. If youre serious about it. Will have to get legislation passed thats a big question. We have a march 5 date, so we will see. It could very well not happen which is incredible. If we get that would we have most of the things you need in terms of detention and release. If they could act on sanctuary cities and give sheriffs the immunity to in the protection if they honor our retainers the u. S. Government will protect them. Most of the sheriffs the Police Officer support us, they just need legislation. These are things you cant negotiate. You can negotiate this with the democrats because this is safety. Its not like lets work a halfway deal theyre such bad procedures youre forced to do everything you were taught not to do. Theres not a lot of negotiati negotiation. The last thing ill say is they entice reentry. They dont think alien smuggling are not using sanctuary cities as a selling point the same we can get you to San Francisco for this much money and you can get arrested for committing a crime but they wont help ice take into custody. Ill leave you with this thought, this room is full of lawenforcement officers that know how to fix the problem. We saw 45yearold low. We have the willpower knowledge in the room. We just need the willpower of congress to take and make some tough decisions. We have to stop kicking the can down the road. You may be the closest now because the attitudes are with us. Im with you 100 . If at some administration to an even think of it. Absolutely we have a president who will let us do our jobs. The congress to make a few changes we can fix this. This is all being put into legislation. One big beautiful proposal and thats it, and were not negotiating. Not lawenforcement. Working very closely with ice to hold these jurisdictions responsible i want to thank. Are you doing with litigation sanctuary cities . I read about it where everybody is suing and nobody wants to sanctuary cities except a couple politicians they fight hard for sanctuary city and its unsafe. Weve been havent been doing with that but we havent seen the problem ms 13 is our top priority now. Theyre getting here because they can take advantage of the week to set our border. And utah moppet they come back just as fast, different ones of the same . We havent gotten to the point where theyve come back. But we had a takedown a few months ago. 214 ms 13 arrest in the United States. The hundred 90 were foreign nationals. Of that, only five have legal status and of the hundred 93, 64 had illegally cross the border as children. So just that one takedown we saw the consequences of people being able to get here through sanctuary cities are through a close border. So what makes him so evil, more so than other gangs what is it . They come from certain part of the world . Its a unique threat. It is massive and has about 10000 gang members but its also a very violent organization. There engaging rape, robbery extortion and murder just for the sake of it. Its not necessarily gain connected with Drug Trafficking there committing the acts for the sake of the violent killings. The recruit children to be there murders, they gang rape young girls and sell them for sex. Its an awful gain. And because of the laws we have we have to put up with that . Were aggressively going after them. In theory because of the laws we have we have to live with this set a much better pace. You can get them out really quickly if we had the right lo loss. Any state include gangs, its their only here to commit violence. They need not to come into our country to do that. We need to close the loopholes. Of the 214 people how many are good, wonderful people that could be wonderful citizens of the country someday . Quote be the percentage . Very low. The members of a gang that operate to commit murder. Theyre holding our neighborhoods hostage, theres Gang Violence is a terrible problem. Theres an town in North Carolina that had to cancel a fourth of july parade because of the threat of Gang Violence. What about the local police . There doing what they can. The problem is the volume. Criminals are able to get here is a large problem. The department of justice is dedicating resources to it. He has announced the searching of hundreds of new u. S. Attorneys there is an additional prosecutor on the southwest border, they were on detail to focus on enforcing immigration. Weve thrown a lot of ms 13 out there coming back in their able to reconstitute if jail members in the u. S. With more members able to cross the borders. They recruit from across the borders. Are Democrat Friends dont understand this . It could be solved largely with this legislation. anywhere the Murderous Mission is being directed by all salvadoran prisons. Its not enough just to we could talk little bit about this other challenge which is the country taken us back. Once we have caught them were not going to release them. We need to send them back where we came from. Thats working with the hs pgh so, countries are there . The assistant secretary has those statistics. Weve taken a tougher stand. We give aid to a lot of these countries and they wouldnt take anybody back so how many countries are they . Where the worst offenders . The worst offenders are countries like china there some cases but most recently september in cambodia, were seen some progress there. Sanctions to work nursing people go back to these countries that were not of got back you think in terms of south america more than asia. But if they dont take him back will put tears on the countries, theyll take him back so fast their heads will spin. Well just tear of their goods coming in and theyll take them back in two seconds. Give a lot of people from those countries. The take them back. Weve had a week policy. They dont want him and why would they they killed five people, why would they want them. We will do something with regard to sanctions and tariffs where your head will spin how fast the take them back. Every country is the same. Also we give aid to some of those countries. To those countries will stop giving aid. They will take them back instantaneously you just have to let us know. This a lot of ways to handle it. You can only handle it economically. Its so easy to solve sounds difficult but its not its an easy one. So you work on the. We appreciate you being here. Will stay for a few more minut minutes. Tell the democrats they really have to vote on this otherwise itll gone for a long time. Will say we want to make a deal, the want to use it for political purposes for elections. Im not happy with the way its going from the standpoint of the democrats negotiating. Daca should be easy to do. I dont think the democrats want to take care of the daca recipients. We need protection this country. You people coming into this country, ms 13 and others the likes of which we have never seen come into a country. So i really believe the democrats want to make a deal. Dont want to make a deal. Theyve given up on daca and not supposed to be theirs. Its ours. Were the ones taking care of daca, not them. Said in a q a, author bill jain talks about his book demand from the train in which she investigates a deadly serial killer in American History. Many of the times it happens within a hundred yards of the railroad track. One of the things that helps us identify his current opposed to somebody elses is it usually happens at the intersection of two railroad tracks. And presumably he knew, after he committed his crime he had to get out of town before dawn. He didnt want to be stranded. Also opportunities to get out of town before their discovered.
