00:00 Well, let's do the math.

00:07 Open border, closed border.

00:09 You come into office, President Biden comes into office, 70 executive orders on the border

00:15 and immigration.

00:16 10 plus million people come in legally across our border.

00:22 Now five months before the election, he's going to issue an order, an executive order,

00:28 that's supposedly going to secure the border, except it doesn't.

00:31 Check it out.

00:32 I mean, it doesn't even begin until you have more than a million people coming here illegally

00:38 on top of the million that come legally.

00:42 So do the math.

00:43 What's this really about?

00:45 How can you argue the actual numbers?

00:49 Look at the numbers.

00:50 Furthermore, how is this going to secure the border?

00:51 He's got all these exceptions and he refuses to enforce remain in Mexico or third state

00:57 country or build the border wall.

01:01 So this is just more talk for the campaign.

01:04 Five months, five months before the campaign, he comes out with one executive order after

01:10 issuing 70 throughout his administration, allowing more than 10 million plus people

01:16 in here, 169 on the terrorist watch list.

01:20 And you heard what Senator Cruz just said about the recent shooting of two policemen

01:25 in New York City from an illegal immigrant who was in custody and was released.

01:32 How bad does it have to get?

01:34 How bad does it have to get before we look through the campaign rhetoric and lip service

01:41 and secure this border?

01:42 And it's this simple.

01:43 It's this simple.

01:45 All President Biden has to do is enforce the law, enforce the law, enforce the law.

01:51 Third safe country, remain in Mexico.

01:53 Now you do that and maybe we can have a serious discussion about this administration doing

01:58 something other than continue to promote open borders so that he can get elected and run

02:05 that spigot wide open again.
