Look, when I was mayor of a city, I was city council for six years. I was mayor for six years of a city of about 250,000 people. I saw the cost of illegal immigration firsthand at the local level. I saw the toll that it put on our local cities and communities in housing, in schools, in crime, in resources. I was lucky enough to be able to partner with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. And we saw at that time more illegal criminal aliens that were deported from our city per capita than any other city in the country. (01:25–01:40)
