## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] I will immediately terminate President Obama's illegal executive order on immigration. Immediately. We will immediately terminate President Obama's Two illegal executive amnesties, in which he defied federal law and the Constitution to give amnity to approximately 5 million illegal immigrants. Five million. [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] They shouldn't be very worried, they are here illegally. They shouldn't be very worried. I do have a big heart. We're going to take care of everybody. We're going to have a very strong border. We're gonna have a very solid border. Where you have great people that are here that have done a good job, they should be far less worried.

We're gonna show great heart. DACA is a very, very difficult subject for me. I will tell you. To me, it's one of the most difficult subjects I have. But you have some absolutely incredible kids, I would say mostly. They were brought here in such a way. It's a very, very tough subject. We are going to deal with DACA with heart. I have to deal with a lot of politicians, don't forget. And I have to convince them that what I'm saying is right. It's a very difficult thing for me because I love these kids. I love kids. I have kids and grandkids. And I find it very, very hard doing what the law says exactly to do.

Well, I have a great heart for the folks we're talking about. A great love for them. I have a love for these people, and hopefully now Congress will be able to help them, and do it Properly. And, really, we have no choice. We have to be able to do something, and I think it's going to work out very well. And, long- term, it's gonna be the right solution. [ MUSIC ]
