We opened the phone lines two days after the election to ask how Kamala Harris voters were feeling after the loss. A caller stood out to me.

Maria called and proclaimed that she was a proud Kamala voter along with her entire family. That said, when I asked her what her expectations and hopes were for President Trump, she made it clear that she hoped he would resolve the current immigration crisis.

We found common ground on the fact that the country is overrun by illegal migrants. Maria shared her thoughts on the large luxury hotels in New York that are currently occupied by illegal migrants.

This is something I’ve been talking about for years. Aside from this current administration, which has opened the floodgates for millions of illegal aliens – many of whom are convicted and suspected criminals – to flood into our country, we have a legal immigration problem.

We are a nation of immigrants and that is one of our strengths. But when the government legitimizes illegal immigration, it harms those trying to go through the legal process. My sister-in-law is from Venezuela and had to spend a decade and thousands of dollars to become a legal citizen.

We must streamline the legal process and empower those who want to work, raise a family, buy a home, and contribute productively to our American melting pot.

The first step is to close the border and eliminate criminals and cartels.

Next, we must save child victims of human trafficking.

It is time to militarize the U.S. border and immediately end cartel trafficking.

It is also time to end the magnet for “sanctuary state” policies, which only serve to embolden and empower human traffickers.

We can secure our border, end the illegal immigration crisis, and create a path to legal immigration for families who are truly seeking a better life for themselves and their children.

Donald Trump is the answer and he is ready, willing and able to get the job done.
