It's very simple. Your state will be a dumping ground for people that have committed murder, violent crimes, drugs, jail. They're in jails, and that's what's happening. We have 21 million people as borders are. They came in and they came in from prisons and jails and mental institutions and insane asylums and a level of terrorism and a level of terrorists that we've never seen.
