Fox News

... To them, if we were sitting down with them right now ... just so you know, they would tell you that people are the gift that keeps giving because, one, they pay up front.

But if they can’t pay, now they are indebted and they are indebted to a criminal organization in a foreign country once they’re able to make it into the United States. That’s just where we are. We have some serious national security issues at our border and it is time to address them and it has been decades that we’ve been talking about it."
