“Now, let's talk a little bit about what was a major issue that used to be covered by the press, including the conservative press, before we started down the path to this impeachment, and that was the issue that was the primary reason why President Trump was elected: That issue is immigration and who we are going to let in this country. I don't think it has been well publicized, but just yesterday, we got the information from Border Patrol that they processed 42,000 people trying to come in this country either under asylum or inappropriately during the month of November. That is down from 45,000 in October, so I suppose you could say we are moving the ball in the right direction. It is down from 145,000 in May. Of those 42,000, under 5,000 actually got to come in the country. The vast majority who were not let in immediately, thanks to the work of President Trump, are currently being held in Mexico pending hearings. This is something President Trump has done without any help from the people in this body. He has done it by negotiating with Mexico and negotiating with the triangle countries in Central America. He has reached agreements or is receiving help from Guatemala, from Honduras, from El Salvador, and from Mexico itself. To a certain extent, through threat of tariffs, he has the Mexican Government patrolling its southern border--not doing that great a job, but they are patrolling their southern border.…”
