“So what we need to do is we need to eliminate or drastically reduce those incentives for illegal immigration. Of course, the number one incentive is people coming here looking for work for that kind of opportunity. So Let's have a functioning guest worker program.

So it's just kind of a common sense approach. Let's eliminate all the incentives for illegal immigration. It'll really reduce those illegal immigrants down to a trickle and it's going to be a whole lot easier to secure our border.” (01:20–01:32)
