How many illegal immigrants would you
estimate your administration
has released
into the country over the last 3 and a half years?
Well, I'm glad you raised the issue of immigration because I agree with you it is it is a topic of discussion that people want to rightly have and
You know what? I'm gonna talk about. Yeah, but you're just a number. Do you think it's 1 million 3 million, right? Let's just get to the point. Okay. The point is
that we have a broken immigration system
that needs to be repaired. So your Homeland Security Secretary said that 85%
of apprehensions. I'm not finished.
We have an immigration system. It's a rough estimate of 6 million people have been released
into
the country. And let me just finish, I'll get to the question, I promise you. I was beginning to answer. And When you came into office, your administration immediately reversed a number of Trump border
policies. Most significantly, the policy that required illegal immigrants to be detained through deportation
either in the U.S. Or in Mexico.
And you switched that policy. They were released from custody awaiting trial.
So instead,
included in those were a large number of single men, adult men, who went on to commit heinous crimes.
So
looking back, do you regret the decision
to terminate Remain in Mexico at the beginning
of your administration?
At the beginning of our administration,
within practically hours
of taking the oath,
the first bill that we offered Congress
Before
we worked on infrastructure,
before the Inflation Reduction Act,
before the Chips and Science Act,
before the Bipartisan
Safer Communities Act, the first
bill, practically within hours of taking the oath
was a bill to fix our immigration system. Yes ma'am, it was called the U.S.
Citizenship Act of
2021.
It was essentially a pathway to citizenship for the... Yes ma'am. May I finish responding please? But you have to let me finish you have the White House and the House and the Senate and they didn't bring up responding
to the point you're raising and I'd like to finish this man.
We
recognized
from day 1 that to the point of this being your first question,
it is a priority
for us as a nation and for the American people.
And our focus has been on fixing a problem.
And from day 1 then we have done a number of things.
