chris, we want to see the action. i was with director brock yesterday from fema and they said a lot of good things, but show me. show me. while i have you on a scope of national issues that will follow the president down here, it s a wall and it s fixing a fence, no, a big wall, and it just sounds like bs. what is your opinion on it, whether it s going to be a big wall line game of thrones or what is already there? we are not doing that good of job of protecting the borders and the visa system is not enforceable. and most people that came in here came on a visa and stayed past. people don t want to hear that. i had a business on the rio grande and most of the illegal
guarantees citizenship. pete: critic also say that could be de facto amnesty. does your bill include border enforcement, a wall? do you support the reality that if you don t address that than any immigration reform just becomes a revolving door? i think certainly this kind of legislation could be paired with border security. it could be paired with other reforms to immigration system. pete: wouldn t you say it needs to be? otherwise, we re focusing on folks that are here illegally and not on law abiding tax-paying citizens who feel like a lot of the policies pursued so far haven t served their interest. i certainly support stronger border security. i support reforming our visa system because a lot of people talk about the border and the wall but they don t talk about the fact that about half of the people who are here illegally overstayed their visas so the border has really nothing to do with it i support all of that. here is what the president called for yesterday. he called for
