I don't want them coming in telling me how to run my city. And I don't want them dumping something on me like the previous administration did. They had me deal with. I was. We were getting sometimes 4,000 migrants a week, 8,000 every two weeks. Do the math. And so I don't want to go in and start telling them how to do their job and immigration. And I don't want them telling me how to do my job. (1:00:32–1:00:41)
