Look, the immigration crisis is a humanitarian Crisis. We're losing 100,000 young people a year to fentanyl. I was with a sheriff from one of the border counties in Ariz, Arizona, who said Prior to President Biden being elected, [a sheriff from Arizona] confiscated 6 million fentanyl pills. Last year, they confiscated 110 million fentanyl pills. So if you look at what's happening there, they have lost track of 100,000 children. Now, think of that. A lot of those children have ended up into the sex trade. (00:33–00:44)
