Our borders are broken. More people come across our border illegally every year than most any other state. And I will secure the borders first and I will have the border states governors certify that those borders are secured. And we can do it with UAVs, with vehicle barriers, with walls and with high tech and cameras. The remaining 12 million, obviously two million of them who have committed crimes have to be rounded up and deported immediately. They cannot stay in our society.
