Vance [campaign event]: I reject the idea that there is some sort of tension between securing your border and economic growth. If you look at the history of this country, we had a very, very strong border, and a rapidly growing economy It's only in the last twenty, thirty years, where America leaders decided we should open the floodgate, and what have we seen over the last twenty to thirty years? Declining standards of living. If the solution to our economic growth problems was to import millions and millions of illegal immigrants, than every country in Europe would be doing a lot better than they are now, and frankly, the United States would be doing better today than it was four years ago, we're doing worse than four years ago because we allowed this flood of migration.
