00:00We're opening a fantastic project there, yeah, and I hope I'm going to get to see it.
00:12We look forward to seeing you.
00:14It's going to be great.
00:16Mr. President, will you comply with the President?
00:21Mr. President, you've ordered a lot of them to leave the country, but travel to Haiti
00:28is almost nearly impossible because flights have been suspended.
00:31What do you make of that?
00:32Well, I make it the fact that we have to have a safe country if people are in our country illegally,
00:37and if people have records that are very bad in particular, we have to get them out.
00:42I was, as you know, elected on the basis that we would have very little crime in our country.
00:48They don't want illegal immigrants.
00:50We've closed up the border.
00:51The border is now the strongest border we've ever had.
00:54There are Haitians who came legally through that Biden-era program who their communities,
00:58even in Texas, conservative voters saying these people should not be forced to leave.
01:02Well, if they came legally, then they're going to be in good shape.
01:05So you're not going to deport them?
01:06There's a Thursday deadline, Mr. Trump.
