Remarks from President Trump, we are learning more about the Justice Department lawsuit against california sanctuary laws, California Law shield Illegal Immigrants from federal enforcement, Jeff Sessions as they put the public in danger and violate the constitution supremacy clause. He announces the suit today, californias capital, sacrament sacramento. California, we have a proble problem. A series of actions and events has occurred here that directly and adversely impacts the work of our federal officers. That is just not unconstitutional, it is a plain violation of federal state or and a violation of common sense, the laws are harmful to californians and especially harmful to our Law Enforcement. That is why the Department Filed a suit against the state of california to invalidate these unjust laws and to immediately freeze the effect. Sandra california democrat Dianne Feinstein says that she is concerned that federal immigration laws do not always target criminals. I think that the standard was established is to go after the people that are problems, that have criminal records or are a problem. Not to pick up the father escorting his daughter to school in the morning. Or the mother coming home to work in the evening. Sandra in the meantime, a county general Javier Becerra is expected to speak out about the suit today, he has already said that the state is abiding by the constitution. As we await those remarks from the president , if i can bring you in here as the attorney general has now made the big announcement. Suing the state of california. Guy i am not a lawyer, but my understanding is if it is modeled after an obama air lawsuit over a controversial law there. Because the president is just arriving. Sandra on their feet to there in washington and the noon hour, the president has arrived, he is speaking at the Latino Coalition cement. They are added to the jw marriott in washington, d. C. , and all of this after the president is going to be speaking after Jeff Sessions made that announcement, lets listen in. President trump so many of our incredible leaders in the Latino Business community, and you guys are Good Business people, i know that for a fact. I have had to compete against you for a long time. [laughter] in fact i said i want to get out of that, i want to be president , it is easier. But i especially wanted to thank chairman hector for the invitation and many years of his leadership on behalf of americas Small Businesses but i want to recognize secretary chow, who is joining us today, elaine, hello, elaine. You are doing a fantastic job. Thank you very much. Most of all i want to thank all of you, the Latino Business communicators who are living through the american dream. It is back and stronger than ever. The Latino Community embodies the Pioneering Spirit of american, we are a nation that loves adventure and you love adventure. That celebrates risktaking and that embraces faith and family as the true center of american way. As president i am committed to unleashing the full potential of the Latino Community by removing government burdens and restoring safety and security to our neighborhoods and by defending americas interest so that all of our citizens can prosper. America first is about unity it is about coming together as one family one big beautiful american family. No matter our race or color or creed to protect our jobs, our communities and our country. We want all americans to thrive and flourish together. Our program is working far beyond our wildest expectations. We have created nearly 3 million jobs since the election. Think of that, 3 million jobs. If i wouldve said that prior to the election, nobody wouldve believed me. [applause] all right, they would not have believed us. Today we have more hispanic americans working than ever before in our history. Setting records, new jobless claims have hit a 48 year low. Last week. And last year the hispanic Unemployment Rate reached the lowest level in history, congratulations. [applause] and i am proud to report hispanic unemployment has now remained at or below 5 for the longest period of time ever recorded. You are doing very well. Thats good. Consumer confidence is at an 18year high. Business confidence is through the roof. With a Record Number of Small Business owners saying that now is a good time to expand. And by the way, we are going to keep your Playing Field level so that we do not have outside interests coming in and hurting our country. Which they have been doing. They have been doing a lot of that over the last 25 years. And we are doing a lot of things to stop that. And you are seeing that actually already in the numbers, thats why the numbers have been so good. Or great, i might add. Latino owned businesses now make up more than 10 of all businesses in the United States. Providing jobs for more than 2 million american workers. These businesses contributed nearly half a trillion dollars to our Community Last year alon alone. Latinos are also starting new businesses at three times the national average. That is pretty good. Three times. The American Economy is coming back bigger and better and stronger than ever before. And to Latino Businesses are helping to lead the way. You are paving the path. At the center of americas resurgence is the massive tax cuts i just signed into law. Now that is a lot of money in your pockets, no matter where you are coming from. [applause] business or personal, it is a lot of money. It is the biggest tax cut reform in american history. We have no democrat votes, by the way, not one. Now they are all saying, maybe we should have voted. Do you notice that they are having second thoughts . They are saying, we think that we made a big mistake. Not one vote, and at the heart of our planet itself is the tremendous relief for working families and Small Businesses. A typical family of four earning 75,000 a year will receive a cut of probably 2000. Slashing their tax bill in half. We nearly doubled the standard deduction, meaning that a married couple will not have to pay one dime of income tax on the first 24,000 that they earn. We doubled the child tax credit, because the most important investment that we can make is in our children. That was a big thing. When i signed the tax cuts just before christmas, it was like jet fuel for the American Economy. Within hours Companies Began announcing thousands of new jobs and thousands of dollars each in bonuses to their workers. Over 4 million workers have already received tax cut bonuse bonuses. And the number continues to grow every single day. As a result of our business tax cuts and reforms, the typical family will receive their Household Income rise by an average of 4000 a year. We are finally giving american businesses a level Playing Field. And he will see more of this in the coming weeks. We are bringing it back on jobs that have been stolen from us. Our businesses have been taken. Our factories have been closed. It is all coming back. You saw two weeks ago chrysler announced that they are leaving mexico and coming back into michigan. They are going to open up a big plant. We have many big plants opening. Many plants are opening. They are coming back for a lot of reasons. But one of them is the tax cuts. And others the regulations. But now we are able again to compete with anyone in the world. Joining us today our two Business Leaders who are at the forefront of americas economic revival. Jeanette springer is the president of eco select, and Technology Staffing business in kansas city, missouri. A lot of people from kansas city, i noticed. A lot of people from kansas city, a lot of friends there. Not only is their companys tax bill going down. Her sales are going way up as other businesses hirer. Filling jobs for those businesses. They are creating something very special. Jeanette says that her business is experiencing the best quarter in the companys 22 year history. And that is great news. For everybody, congratulations. Where is jeanette . Pretty good, right . Big difference. Big difference. A lot of people are saying the same thing. Thank you very much. Adam dibona is also joining us, he is the founder of benefits Exchange Alliance and Hr Consulting firm headquartered in orange county, california. As a result of tax reform, he was able to provide generous five figure bonuses to every one of his employees. Very much appreciate it. He has also hired six new workers any plans to hire as many as 15 more this year, wherever you are in this room, this very beautiful room, packed with people. Thank you very much. Great job. A big difference like day and night . Thats great. And thank you both for investing in your workers and investing in your country. Thank you very much. In addition to passing a historic tax cut we are also slashing job regulations. I have great Business People friends, many think that the regulation cutting is more important, frankly then even the big tax cuts. According to a survey by the national Small Business association, the average Small Business spends 83,000 to comply with regulations and just their first year of existence. Under the Trump Administration we are finally getting government off of your backs and outs of your pockets. That is why i am proud to say that we have cut more regulations than any administration in the history of our country. And we have only had 12, 13 months now to do it. In a short period of time we have cut more regulations than any Administration Whether it is four or eight or in one case 16 years. Nobody has even come close. To ted and elaine, while i am looking at you, maybe you can cut some more. Because you know, it would take 17, 20, 21 years to get a roadway bill. We want to bring those numbers down to two years and even one year. And if it is not done properly and environmentally good, we are not going to approve it. But you are not going to have to wait 20 years to figure out whether it will be approved. So i know, elaine, you are working on it. I instructed my whole cabinet, we are going to go for that final 40 . We need some regulation. But regulations on top of regulations, you had the same approval to get from four or five different agencies and it was ridiculous. It was impossible to do business. One of the reasons we are doing so well is because of the regulation cutting. So elaine, you will going cut some more as soon as you get back to the office, right . We want to get those roads down to one year instead of two. And we will cuts even more red tape if Congress Acts on my infrastructure proposal. We have an infrastructure proposal in front of congress. The democrats dont want to approve it because they do not want to give us a victory. They think that we have had too many victories. We have had a lot of victories. We have had a lot. We are trying to have a daca victory for everybody. And the democrats are nowhere to be found. They are nowhere to be found. Its really terrible. We are ready. The expression ready, willing, and able. They are nowhere to be found. But also the administration, hundreds of people sitting out there and they are obstructionist. They do not want to approve it and then we get blamed for not having it is just a terrible thing, elaine, we have so many people, is that correct . So many people from other agencies, your agency gets pretty good treatment, i think. But i will say that many of the agencies just have so many people out there including diplomats from germany, major countries, we have diplomats that wait on line because the democrats do not want to approve them because they want to obstruct. And then its not good. It is never been like this, ever, they have never held them this long. Republicans have never done this to this extent with the democrats. And Chuck Schumer in the democrats ought to get going, because it is the wrong thing for our country. It is very terrible thing. I have asked congress to pass a bill that generates 1. 5 trillion on infrastructure and cuts the permitting process from down to two years or even less. After years of rebuilding other countries, and we have built a lot of countries, it is time to Start Building our country agai again. [applause] but a wealthy nation must be a safe nation, protecting the security of our country is my highest duty. It is the most important thing that i can do. That is why my administration is committed to securing our border, dismantling dangerous gangs and stopping the flow of deadly drugs that are just pouring across us. Never been a problem like over the last three, four years. And we are doing your job. And the Border Patrol and the i. C. E. And all of the different people that are working so hard. They are working so hard on the drug problem. Never been a problem, many countries are having this problem, but there has never been anything like it in the history of this world. And it is destroying peoples lives. So many. And we are going to stop it. Every american child regardless of where they live or what family they come from should be able to grow up in a safe community. My administration submitted a balance of responsible Immigration Reform policy to congress, our plan for lisa cores secures the border, a plan for daca, which we are really working on and modernizes the immigration system by extending a family migration and the lottery system so that we can eventually have a merit basm where people can come in and wok for your companies, work for you. And do a phenomenal job, a phenomenal job. People that love our country and that one to love our country and our people. These reforms are supported by the vast majority of latino voters, in fact, more than eight and ten latino voters think that immigration to our country should be based on skill, not just a relationship with people you do not even know. This is the mainstream view of all americans. Including latinos. Yet the Senate Democrats filibustered our plan because they do not care about the immigration system or reform, and they do not want to solve the problem. They would rather use it to get elected. That is not working so well. But we remain committed to Immigration Reform that protects our country, strengthens our economy and lifts our workers from poverty to prosperity. We want every american to know the dignity of work, the pride of a paycheck coming in the satisfaction of a job well done. Because when our people are free to live their lives and to follow their hearts, there is nothing, nothing at all that we cannot achieve. What we are witnessing now is the rebirth of the american dream. Everybody in the world is talking about it. It looks a little nasty when you watch the news, or as i sometimes call it the fake news. But everybody in the world is talking about what is happening in the United States. It is really incredible. Passing the numbers so many different ways, companies, unemployment, so many records we are setting, the whole world is talking about it. And each of you here today along with millions of hardworking latinos all across our nation are making that dream into a reality. You really are making America Great again. A lot of the people in this room, making America Great again. [applause] you were unleashing the american spirit, you are bringing jobs to american communities, and you are fighting for the american way. Because you know that america is a nation that thinks big, dreams even bigger, and always reaches for the stars. You are reaching for the stars. I know so many of you coming youre reaching for the stars. You have plan for a long time. And now youre getting it. We will build great buildings, invent new products, discover new technologies and blaze bold new trails in science and medicine and the arts. And we will do it all with american skill, american great, and american pride. This is our time. This is our moment go get daca. Go push those democrats. Im telling you, slowing us down. This is a moment for daca and for all of us, but this is a very special moment. A lot of tremendous things can happen here. Right now so many tremendous things can happen if people want them to happen. This is how we are taking care of our people, taking care of our country. I just want to thank all of you for being here. Having known so many in the room and how they are respected amongst all of you, i can say that im very proud of you and i know that you are very proud of our country. So thank you all very much, god bless you, and god bless america.
