green new deal and the electric
vehicle mandates will save the
American automobile.
>> Thank you, governor.
This has been one of the biggest
years for illegal border
crossing into the United States.
Last month alone 225,000
migrants crossed, a record high
overwhelming the border patrol
resources that are already
stretched thin.
Mayors across the country say
their cities are being pushed to
a breaking point.
Governor Desantis, former
president trump famously
promised to build a wall on the
southern border.
He obviously did not get that
done.
You have promised to finish the
job.
How will you succeed where he
failed?
>> We will build the wall.
We will actually have Mexico pay
for it in the way that I thought
Donald Trump was.
We're going to charge fees on
remittances that workers send to
foreign countries, billions of
dollars, we'll build the wall.
He also promised record
deportations.
Donald Trump deported fewer
people than Barack Obama did
when he was president.
Biden has let in 8 million
people just in four years.
They all have to go back.
We have to enforce the rule of
law in this country.
Think about what's happening to
our country.
Just this week, we saw the news
that a school in Brooklyn, new
York, had the kids stay home.
They were not able to go to
school, told you can't go get an
in-person education.
Why?
Because the city is
commandeering the school to
house illegal aliens in it.
Talk about putting Americans
last.
You're putting these kids out of
an education because you can't
control the boarder?
Biden has failed in this
endeavor.
He has not taken care that the
laws of this country be
faithfully executed.
Do not trust Nikki Haley with
illegal immigration.
That's like having the fox guard
the hen house.
She is on tape at the aspen
institute.
She'll say she didn't say it.
She was chastising
conservatives, saying it's
disrespectful to illegal aliens
to say that they're criminals.
They're violating the law.
It's disrespectful when people
come to this country illegally
and impose burdens on our
communities and run drugs into
this country.
That's what's disrespectful.
She is weak on immigration.
She is bankrolled by people who
want open border, and she said
there shouldn't be a limit on
immigration.
You should work with corporate
CEO.
>> Thanks, governor.
>> That is pale pastels, warmed
over --
>> Thank you so much.
Governor Haley, governor
Desantis and also Donald Trump
are attacking you for that
comment in 2015 in which you
said undocumented immigrants
should not be called, quote,
criminals.
A the time the full context, you
said we don't need to talk about
them as criminals.
They're not.
They're families that want a
better life and they're
desperate to get theory,
unquote.
Do you still feel that way?
>> I saw them.
When I was at the united
nations, I saw them.
That doesn't mean we should let
them into the country.
When I was governor we passed
the toughest illegal immigration
law in the country.
Obama sued us over it, and we
won.
We fought Obama on illegal
immigration.
We fought Obama on migrant kids.
We fought on Syrian refugees on
galveston bay prisoners.
I have always said we are a
country of laws.
The second we stop being a
country of laws, we give up
everything this country was
founded on.
But I will tell you in passing
that toughest illegal
immigration law in the country,
wee-verify, which I want
to take national, which
businesses have to prove the
people they hire are in this
country legally.
I passed it within six months of
being governor.
Ron didn't pass it for five
years.
He only waited to pass it when
he decided to run for president.
What we need to do is not just
span a wall, we need to put 2500
border and I.C.E. Agents on the
ground and let them do their
job.
We need to defund sanctuary
cities once and for all.
No more safe havens for illegal
immigrants.
We need to make sure we go back
to the remain in Mexico policy
so that no one even steps foot
on U.S. Soil.
And instead of catch and
release, we need to go to catch
and deport.
That's the only way we'll stop
the incentives of the illegal
immigrants coming across.
Biden gave half a million
Venezuelans temporary protected
status.
That's half a million driver's
licenses, half a million social
security numbers.
All that does is incentivize
them to pick up the phone and
call their family members and
them them to come here.
>> Thank you.
>> When she was governor, she
did bring Syrian refugees, and
she got criticized for that.
>> That is not true.
Desantis lies.com.
That is not true.
>> We'll give you your turn in a
second.
Governor Desantis?
>> Unbelievable.
>> The disrespect comment, she
is talking about that they're
all families.
If you look right now at the
border, these are military age
males, many of them.
And they're coming from all
across this world.
Not just from Central America.
You've got them from China,
Iran, Russia, the Middle East.
When I was down there a couple
of years ago, because I sent
people down there, you had
people from Libya and Haiti.
This is a ticking time bomb for
this country.
There are of course going to be
terrorist cells that have come
in.
It's like the lowest cost way to
harm this country.
Just send people across the
southern border.
Nikki Haley also opposed the
border wall in 2016.
She said that she -- she
ridiculed it when Donald Trump
was quoting it.
I'm telling you, you need a
wall.
You can't trust politicians to
do this.
If the wall there it's a
physical fact of life.
>> Thank you, governor Desantis.
Governor Haley?
>> Go to desantislies.com.
I said you can't just build a
wall.
You have do more than build a
wall.
It was having the wall and
everything else.
You can't trust what Ron is
saying.
But this is a bigger issue.
This is more than him just
constantly being desperate and
throwing things on me.
This is the fact that we have to
realize my parents came here
legally.
They came the right way 50 years
ago.
They put in the time.
They put in the price.
They are offended by what's
happening on the border.
And my mom would always say, if
they don't follow the laws to
come into this country, they
won't follow the laws when they
are in this country.
And we have to start treating
this like it is.
This is putting harm on our
schools, on our hospitals,
taxpayers are paying for it.
You see these mayors are now
upset about it.
The only reason Eric Adams is
now upset.
Why?
He shouldn't be a sanctuary city
then.
That's why we have to defund
sanctuary cities.
Now governor Abbott finally did
to them what's been happening to
Texas for so long.
We've got to put an end to this.
It's dangerous.
>> Thank you, governor.
>> Fentanyl --
>> Governor Desantis?
[ Applause ]
There are more than ten million
undocumented immigrants already
living in the United States,
according to pew research.
Will any of them be allowed to
stay in the United States under
your administration?
>> The number of people that
will be amnestied when I am
president will be zero.
We cannot do an amnesty in this
country.
First of all, it's going to
cause more people to want to
come illegally.
So you got to enforce the law.
It's got to be consistent.
People got to know it's there.
You also have to remove benefits
for people who are here
illegally.
California, you can go illegal
alien, and you get free health
insurance coverage.
You're here illegally, and
they're doing that.
We should not let states provide
these benefits.
In Florida, obviously, we don't
do that.
We don't allow the driver's
license and all that but some
states do.
And it creates a magnet for
people coming in.
So federally, no benefits.
No enticements to come in.
And then the states, we're going
to crack down on sanctuary
states and sanctuary cities.
And I showed the hypocrisy of
all this back in 2022, because
we have a program to transport
illegal aliens to sanctuary
jurisdictions.
And one of the place we sent 50
to, beautiful liberal Martha's
vineyard.
And you know what?
These are folks that were on
their high horse saying how they
were sanctuary jurisdictions,
saying nobody is illegal.
All refugees are welcome.
That's what they had in their
town.
The minute even 50 came up, they
called a state of emergency and
deported them off the island the
next day.
How do you think Texas feels?
How do you think all these other
communities feel that are being
overwhelmed?
So we cannot have liberal elites
in this country imposing
policies on the rest of us that
they are not willing to deal
with the consequences of
themselves.
>> Governor Haley --
[ applause ]
-- When you're president, will
any of the more than 10 million
undocumented immigrants be
allowed to stay in the country
under your administration?
>> You have to deport them.
And the reason you have to
deport them is they're cutting
the line.
You've got people who have done
this and tried to go through the
right way.
You can't have them go and jump
the line and suddenly do that.
And that is actually what will
get them to stop coming is when
they do realize they get to the
wall and they have to turn
around and go back.
It's a dangerous process of what
happens for them to try and
migrate here.
But when I was at the united
nations, and we had this, which
is another reason why we need to
have trump here defending
himself and talking about what
he would do going in the future,
because it's a problem.
I was on the ground in Honduras
and Guatemala, and what we saw
is a lot of the reason why they
were coming from there is
because of gangs and drugs.
And so what question we did was
we had our military go and train
them on how to deal with gangs.
We went and put drug boats on
the water to keep the drugs from
coming.
But we said you have to have
them processed from here.
You can't have them come.
We were able to stop that flow.
We've got to go back to do that.
But we need to end it once and
for all.
Donald Trump didn't do that.
That's why he needs to be here,
