And so, as a police officer, as a military veteran, I know that the first thing that we have to do is secure the border. Until the border is secured, do not pass go, do not collect $200. We need to reinstitute things like remain in Mexico. We need to build more border wall. We need to empower our local law enforcement officers to be able to follow the laws that we have in place right now. (18:08–18:12)
