Published | Video Starts at 03:22

Listen, in any one sector in the state of Texas, we have more than 5,000 people come across that sector every single day. And so, listen, we're full in the state of Texas. Our communities are overrun. And I started busing people to Washington, D.C. when local officials could not handle the number of people that had come across our border. And it's time that these officials in New York, and I'm glad you mentioned the New York Times, they haven't reported about this. They haven't written about the chaos at the border. (03:22–03:31)
