00:00All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country.
00:12The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers.
00:20That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards,
00:27by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.
00:36In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes,
00:43to better identify illegal aliens in the work face as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.
00:51We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws.
00:56It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years,
