We see 2 million people crossing the border. Vice President Harris saying that the border is secure. You look at the images from there. Clearly it's not. What do we do about that? Look, I worked in counterterrorism. I believe the country needs secure borders. We also need a long term fix to a broken immigration system. And you don't fix that by rounding people up and sending them to Martha's vineyard on a jet with taxpayer money. (17:42–17:45)
