Transcript

Spain yesterday Spain And I watched the catsatrophy that took place. it looks like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people. And that same thing's going to happen to us if the Republicans don't get elected. Except worse. Much bigger, much easier to get into. Despite the fact that we have built thousands of miles of wall, which I said we were going to do, but we didn't have that. Forget it. We have the safest border in the safest border in the world. If we're not in office, our country will be invaded at levels that made Spain look small-time. And when I watched it, I said, boy, I said, I'm going to say it because I knew you were going to be at Camp David. They say that's going to be a talking point for the midterms. for the midterms, because when you look at what happened to Spain, they don't know what to do. And it's happening again today. They're coming in by the tens of thousands. They're just invading the country. And what that is, is weak law, bad management, but very liberal law. very liberal law. They passed a couple of laws, and people read, and people read, They read from other countries, and they swam that three-mile swim or however they got in, but nobody's seen anything like it. That will look good compared to what's going to happen to the United States.
