Immigration has been an administrative disaster across both major parties. And there are some real administrative changes that need to be made, needed to be made to better support those trying to immigrate. We have electronic communications now. We have the ability to have apps and collect personal data on individuals, from fingerprints all the way to photos of them, to make sure that these background checks and things like this are conducted before these people even arrive at the border, especially in refugee or circumstances that are of emergencies. So we want to definitely make those administrative changes. You know, we don't want people entering the country illegally. We don't want security issues. (21:59–22:21)
