How is illegal immigration impacting your district? Right, because we talk about Denver, but we know that it's a nationwide issue. Well, Denver is where 42,000 illegal aliens were sent to.

In fact, I've seen your reporting of just one illegal alien being apprehended and arrested and potentially deported after a raid. (05:42–05:47)
