00:00
Carolyn, I have two questions, one on immigration and one on China.
00:04
First on immigration, roughly how many illegal immigrants and aliens do we have in our country
00:09
and how many does the administration plan on deporting?
00:11
Sure, well, you'd have to ask the Department of Homeland Security for a specific number,
00:16
but we suspect it's definitely in the millions, perhaps upwards of 20 million people
00:20
that were allowed into the country illegally by the previous administration.
00:24
And the President and his team are focused on deporting as many as we possibly can,
00:30
and they are moving as quickly as possible.
00:32
The President's team has made it clear we need more funding from Congress to do more.
00:37
We need more ICE agents out on the ground doing this very important work.
00:40
And we also need rogue district court judges to stop acting as judicial activists,
00:46
trying to block the administration from deporting illegal criminals from our nation's interior.
00:50
The American public elected the President to do this, and he's following through with that problem.
00:54
We have over a quarter million Chinese nationals in our country right now on student visas.
00:58
Does the administration believe there's any national security concern
01:01
when it comes to those over a quarter million Chinese nationals in our trade?
01:04
Well, as you know, when it comes to foreign visas,
01:07
the Secretary of State remains, has the right to revoke visas of those who we feel
01:12
are acting in an adversarial way to our foreign policy interests here in the United States.
01:16
He has that authority according to the Immigration and Nationality Act.
01:21
So I would defer you to the State Department for any individual case,
01:24
but they are looking at individuals who are given the privilege of being on a visa in our country.
01:29
And if they are acting, again, adversarial to our foreign policy interests,
01:33
their visa can be revoked, and they should be aware of that.
01:36
For more information, please refer to the foreign policy rights and the United States of the United States of Texas.
01:41
Thank you to the Vice President.
01:41
Thank you to the President.
01:46
You're welcome.
01:48
That's been a pleasure.
