United We Stand
C-span ^ | January 24, 1995 | William Jefferson Clinton

All Americans, not only in the States most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.

Clip comes at 1:03:10 of the video. What I'd LOVE to see Trump do is to play this clip as part of his State of the Union address. He could even invite Slick to be there as his honored guest (probably at least one seat away from Melania). After the clip Trump could ask Slick to stand. Now that I think of it, Trump could even use the clip of Senator Barak Obama says virtually the same thing. Can you imagine the exploding heads on the left and in the media . . . but I repeat myself.

Slick Willy actually did a better job of enforcement than either Bush.

Worse by far than even the ills mentioned, aliens have been encouraged, under false pretenses by the then-president, to vote. And foreigners have been known to campaign in America for votes in their home countries.

If I told you that that was going on in a significant way and the foreign country involved was Russia, it would be “Stop the Presses” time. But of course I have reference not to Russia but to Mexico.

And Mexico is a leading exemplar, not of how much better-run a country can be than the US via socialism, but how much worse.
