president trump addresses the nation

My fellow americans, tonight i'm speaking to you because

there is a growing humanitarian and security crisis at our southern

border. Every day, customs

and border patrol agents encounters

thousands of illegal immagrants trying to enter the country.

We are out of space to hold them and we have no way to promptly return them

back home to their country.

America proudly welcomes millions of lawful immigrants

who enrich our society and contribute to our nation but all

americans are hurt by uncontrolled illegal migration.

It strains public resources and drives down jobs and wages.

Among those hardest hit are african-americans and hispanic

americans. Our southern border is a

pipeline for vast quantities of illegal drugs, including meth,

heroin, cocaine, fentanyl. Every week 300 of our citizens

are killed by heroin alone, 90% of which floods

across from our southern border.

More americans will die from drugs this year than were killed in

the entire vietnam war. In the last two years ICE officers made 266,000

arrests of aliens with criminal records including those charged

or convicted of 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes, and

4,000 violent killings. Over the years, thousands of

americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally

entered our country, and thousands more lives will be

lost if we don't act right now. This is a humanitarian crisis, a

crisis of the heart, and a crisis of the soul.

Last month, 20,000 migrant children were illegally brought

into the United States, a dramatic increase.

These children are used as human pawns by vicious coyotes and

ruthless gangs. one in three women are sexually

assaulted on the dangerous trek up through mexico.

Women and children are the biggest victims by far of our

broken system. This is the tragic reality of

illegal immigration on our southern border.

This is the cycle of human suffering that I am determined

to end. My administration has presented

congress with a detailed proposal to secure the border

and stop the criminal gangs, drug smugglers and human traffickers.

It's a tremendous problem. Our proposal was developed by

law enforcement professionals and border agents at the

department of homeland security. These are the resources they

have requested to properly perform their mission, and keep

America safe. In fact, safer than ever before.

the proposal from homeland security includes cutting

technology for detecting drugs, weapons, illegal contraband and many other

things. We have requested more agents,

immigration judges, and bed space to process the sharp rise

in unlawful migration fueled by our very strong economy.

Our plan also contains an urgent request for humanitarian

assistance and medical support. Furthermore, we have asked

congress to close border security loopholes so that

illegal immigrant children can be safely and humanely returned

back home. Finally, as part of an overall

approach to border security, law enforcement professionals have

requested $5.7 billion for a physical barrier, at the request

of democrats it will be a steel barrier rather than a concrete

wall. This barrier is absolutely

critical to border security. It's also what our professionals

at the border want and need. This is just common sense.

The border wall would very quickly pay for itself.

The cost of illegal drugs exceeds $500 billion a year.

Vastly more than the $5.7 billion we have requested

from congress. The wall will also be paid for

indirectly by the great new trade deal we have made with

mexico. Senator chuck schumer, who you

will be hearing from later tonight, has repeatedly

supported a physical barrier in the past, along with many other

democrats. They changed their mind only

after I was elected president. Democrats in congress have

refused to acknowledge the crisis.

And they have refused to provide our brave border agents with the

tools they desperately need to protect our families and our

nation. The federal government remains

shut down for one reason, and one reason only.

Because democrats will not fund border security.

My administration is doing everything in our power to help

those impacted by the situation. But the only solution is for

democrats to pass a spending bill that defends our borders

and reopens the government. This situation could be solved

in a 45-minute meeting. I have invited congressional

leadership to the white house tomorrow to get this done.

Hopefully, we can rise above partisan politics in order to

support national security. Some have suggested a barrier is

immoral. Then why do wealthy politicians

build walls, fences and gates around their homes?

They don't build walls because they hate the people on the

outside. But because they love the people

on the inside. The only thing that is immoral

is the politicians to do nothing and continue to allow more

innocent people to be so horribly victimized.

America's heart broke the day after christmas when a young

police officer in california was savagely murdered in cold blood

by an illegal alien, just came across the border.

The life of an american hero was stolen by someone who had no

right to be in our country. Day after day, precious lives

are cut short by those who have violated our borders.

In california, an air force veteran was raped, murdered, and

beaten to death with a hammer by an illegal alien with a long

criminal history. In georgia, an illegal alien was

recently charged with murder for killing, beheading, and

dismembering his neighbor. In maryland, ms-13 gang members

who arrived in the United States as unaccompanied minors were

arrested and charged last year after viciously stabbing and

beating a 16-year-old girl. Over the last several years,

I've met with dozens of families whose loved ones were stolen by

illegal immigration. I've held the hands of the

weeping mothers and embraced the grief-stricken fathers, so sad,

so terrible. I will never forget the pain in

their eyes, the tremble in their voices, and the sadness gripping

their souls. How much more american blood

must we shed before congress does its job?

To those who refuse to compromise in the name of border

security, I would ask, imagine if it was your child, your

husband, or your wife, whose life was so cruelly shattered

and totally broken. To every member of congress,

pass a bill that ends this crisis.

To every citizen call congress and tell them to finally, after

all of these decades, secure our border.

This is a choice between right and wrong.

justice and injustice. This is about whether we fulfill

our sacred duty to the american citizens we serve.

When I took the oath of office, I swore to protect our country.

and that is what I will always do, so help me god.

Thank you. And good night.
