pay them lower wages. it s nowhere in your plan and the president has never said it. steve? chris, get rid of h1b visas, control the border, protect america, protect our sovereignty and our security. look, he didn t separate them, the parents separated themselves from the children when they made the willful decision to illegally cross our border. if you had done it the way it was done, your numbers aren t better, they are worse. you re right, we ll see what happens over time. they chose to cross our border. they chose that. that s true. they broke the law. it is a misdemeanor. i don t see you guys going out and rounding up everybody that has a dui. those are felonies. i m saying how we enforce the law matters. the reason bush and obama were more selective in their
