## Transcript

If we refuse to prosecute these adults for illegal entry as many of our critics want us to do, that would be a disservice I think to the people of this country. It would be an insult to those who come here legally waiting their turn, making their application And most importantly, it would encourage, and has already encouraged, more adults to bring more children illegally on a dangerous journey that puts these children at great risk. We are going to continue to prosecute those adults who enter here illegally. We are going to do everything in our power however to avoid separating families. All federal agencies are working hard to accomplish this goal.

The compassionate thing to do I firmly is to protect our children from drugs and violence To put criminals in jail and secure our borders. Having an immigration system that has integrity and consistency is right, and just, and moral. The alternative is open borders Which is both radical and dangerous and is not a realistic prospect for America.
