We've documented over 600,000 crimes committed by illegals, including 1,200 homicides and other hurricanes. We also have the example of what happened on the border in El Paso, where El Paso used to be one of the highest crime cities in our state. And now because there was a barrier built, a fence, it now is one of the safest cities in America.
