smuggling gang members across the border, you will be charged,

gang, cartel, drug smuggling, etc. adds to charges,

prosecute document fraud, identity theft ( minimum on second one 2 years),

assaults on agents, in line of duty, they will do federal time,

United States Attorney offices today, there will be someone in district to prosecute border issues,

series of reform for immigration judges,

"catch and release" ending, you are going no where,

detain all adults at the border,

surged 25 immigration judges at border,

will put 50 more judges this year,

75 next year,

streamline hiring plan, reducing hiring time,

transnational criminal activies,

prosecute criminal aliens, MS 13, Los Zetas,

multi faceted approach,

we will get your drugs coming in, your monies going out,

I took oath to follow law, rules,

now is time for action and results,

how can we look at parents at Kate Steinle, others,

we have your back message to border agents,

we ask God's blessing on this effort,

Dumb first question from reporter - what about militarization and impacting people on the border, insulting people

I would say America has the most generous immigration system and other comments
