a few bad actors that you honestly thought the world was a different place than what it is and then you acted accordingly. Now I think that Democrats in the information bubble that they were in were acting for the greatest good. That's what it looks like to me. It looks like their intentions were entirely based on the greater good and if you listen to them talk that's the way they talked. You know…

So here's how you do immigration the dumb way. The dumb way would be on day one go get all the farm workers. I mean seriously do you think that the border patrol and ICE and those people do you think they have enough resources to start with the farm workers and that that would make any sense at all to anybody?

So you could imagine that the undocumented farm workers which are necessary would over time get transformed into a legal group of people that may or may not come from other countries but we're not going to starve the country by rounding up the crop pickers. Don't assume that we just start stupid and stay that way. I'm not going to have that conversation but that's what the Democrats are trying to make you think past the sale.

accept that he would get rid of the criminals and maybe the most recent arrivals first and if we could ever get to the end of that pile which I don't think we can well then maybe you look at some other stuff but we would do it smartly. Anyway according to one report the US government loses between two hundred billion and five hundred billion to fraud every year. To fraud. Up to half a trillion do…
