Why not just post the message?

Snip

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.

The most important job of our Government in this new era is to empower the
American people to succeed in the global economy. America has always been a
land of opportunity, a land where, if you work hard, you can get ahead.
We’ve become a great middle class country. Middle class values sustain us.
We must expand that middle class and shrink the under class, even as we do
everything we can to support the millions of Americans who are already
successful in the new economy.

You sound like you don’t want any border patrol jobs killed by too much too-effective “wall”.
