We felt there was a crisis ten years ago when over 1000 illegal immigrants were coming in a day. It didn't change any of the laws. They didn't put back. Stay in Mexico. Let's be very clear. Under President Trump, the last year of President Trump, yet a little over 300,000 illegal border crossings. President Biden lifted stay in Mexico. Section 42, section eight, did a whole host of things that brought in over 3 million in the first year, over 3 million in the second year and well over 4 million in the third year. (15:45–15:53)
