“Part of the problem you have is I laid out in my questioning is you look at, go back to Barack Obama and when you add returns and removals, Barack Obama averaged over 600,000 returns and removals per year. Trump in his first term averaged I think 500,000 a year. Right now he's up a little under 600,000 his first year. So, I mean, this is not out of the ordinary at all in terms of removing people that are in this country illegally.” (01:37–01:41)
