I worked my work my way up the chain, rung by rung, i was the first director of ICE to actually came up through the ranks. So I spent my whole career doing this.

You know, regardless if you like the man or not, he did more to secure this border than any president I've worked for…and now it's all been destroyed within weeks by the Biden administration.
