President Trump is working at an unprecedented pace to make America secure and competitive. He has brought accountability and transparency to our government like none before delivering on the promises that he made to the American people. The first bill President Trump signed into law, the Lake and Riley act, focused on penalizing illegal immigrants who come into our country and break our laws. He is serious about securing the border, and thanks to his leadership, it is closed in February 2024. Just a year ago, there were over 180,000 encounters during that one month at the southwest border. (01:13–01:22)
