Transcript
00:00Well, Mr. President, first of all, thank you for the opportunity to work for you.
00:05And you committed when you ran for president to make America safe again.
00:10And today, the average family and individual that lives in this country is safer than they've been in years because of what you've done.
00:17We've got three months in a row now with zero illegal aliens coming into this country.
00:22And I want to thank Pete and the Department of Defense for all of their help.
00:25They're down at the border with us still helping us keep that border secure.
00:30And make sure we know who's coming into this country.
00:32You've arrested and brought to justice hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, but criminals that have perpetuated violence against American people.
00:42Sir, you've had 1.6 million people voluntarily go home to their home countries that were here in this country illegally.
00:50Because of your strong message and you enforcing the law, they decided to go home on their own so that they could come back the right way someday and be American citizens.
00:59But what I think is one of the most remarkable statistics is that under Joe Biden's administration, 88% of new jobs went to foreign-born individuals.
01:11Under your administration, 2.5 Americans have jobs today that they didn't under the previous administration.
01:19And they have those jobs because you created opportunities.
01:21You made this country safe.
01:23You opened up the economy.
01:24You enforced the law.
01:26Now people can get up and provide for their families and go to work every day and be confident in that.
01:32And the last thing I would say is that it's incredibly important to know that every one of those illegal aliens that has gone home,
01:41they were costing us about $8,700 to $9,000 a piece in what they were taking out of our social programs, out of Social Security.
01:51You've saved this country billions of dollars, about $15 billion, just in what those illegal aliens were costing us in social programs.
02:00I've cut over 450 different contracts at the Department of Homeland Security.
02:05We're getting rid of corrupt ones, ones that were not efficient for taxpayers, weren't focused on our mission of keeping us safe.
02:13And we've also renegotiated and brought in our biggest vendors and said you have to do better.
02:17And we've saved the taxpayers over $13 billion doing that as well.
02:21So we're continuing to be accountable with taxpayer dollars, but, sir, focused on doing the mission of what you've committed,
02:27and that's to keep us safe and to make sure we put Americans first.
