tv   Campaign 2024 Fmr. Pres. Trump Visits Eagle Pass TX Border Area  CSPAN  March 1, 2024 5:29am-5:58am EST

5:29 am
5:30 am
patrol agents along the border. this is just under 30 minutes. mr. trump: nice weather, beautiful day, but a very dangerous border. we are gonna take care of it. thank you.
5:31 am
5:32 am
they like trump, can you believe it? >> sir, i want you to know, my agents are mad as hell. that president biden went to brownsville, texas rather than going to arizona or san diego or coming to eagle pass, which has been the epicenter. what president trump has seen right here is how his policies have worked, but he has also seen how he can expand upon the policies once he goes back into the white house, he has seen how governor abbott has been able to use his policy to secure this specific area, the epicenter of the last two years of the illegal border crisis we have had to endure and your agents present our pissed.
5:33 am
border patrol agent's are upset that we cannot get the proper policy that is necessary to protect human life, to protect american citizens, to protect the people that are crossing the border illegally, we want to protect them as well and we cannot do that because president biden's policy continues to invite people to cross here. thank goodness we have a governor like governor abbott. to think of a person who is willing to run for president of the united states with all he has done as president. thank you. trump: the reports have come out and we have been covering them and everybody has been and i spoke with the parents of the incredible young lady and you saw her the other day and you saw what happened the other day in georgia and the parents are devastated, they are incredible
5:34 am
people but this is a joe biden invasion, this is a biden invasion over the past three years and i call him crockett joe because -- crooked joe because he is the worst president we have ever had and probably the most incompetent president we have ever had but it is allowing thousands and thousands of people to come in from china, yemen, congo, syria, other nations, many nations that are not friendly to us, he has transported the in tighter -- the entire column of fighting age men and they are all of a certain age and you look at them and you go they all look like warriors to be and it's bad, the whole country is being overrun by the biden migrant crime, we call it biden migrant crime but that's a little long so we will just leave it but every time you hear the term migrant crime you know what that comes from,
5:35 am
allowing thousands and thousands and actually millions and millions of people to come, could be 15 million, could be 18 million by the time he gets out of office because hopefully the biggest risk we have is nine months that is a long time, a lot of bad things can happen, as i always say in speeches and rallies if you take the 10 worst presidents in the history of the company and you add up all the problems on all the lousy jobs they have done you can add them all up and it is not as bad as this one man has done to our country, he is destroying our country. we were just talking before and the general was saying you can't believe what is happening, it is so sad, last year almost all of these arrests were criminal aliens charged with 33,000 results, -- assaults, 3000 robberies, 6000 burglaries, 7005 hundred weapons crimes, this is all migrant crime, 4003 hundred
5:36 am
sex crimes, 1600 kidnappings, 1700 homicides and murders. these are the people coming into our country and they are coming from jails and prisons and mental institutions and they are coming from insane asylums and they are terrorists and they are being led into our country and it is horrible. it's horrible. and i know many of the leaders of this other countries that are doing it and it is not just south korea -- south america, it's already all over the world, the congo, big populations coming from the jails and congo, if you look at the jails throughout the region but more importantly throughout the world and they are emptying out because they are dumping them into the united states and these guys tried to make like oh is not it wonderful, they don't have a clue. i think they are looking for votes and it is something nobody has ever really been able to tell me, you know you always want to understand the other side, you want to figure it out
5:37 am
so you can do something that is good or bad depending on what you are looking for but nobody can explain to me because everybody i speak to says how horrible it is like nobody explains to me how allowing millions of from places that are are unknown and countries that are our unknowns that don't speak languages, we have languages coming into our country that nobody even speaks those languages, they are truly foreign languages and nobody speaks them and they are pouring into our countries and bringing enormous problems including medical problems, as you know. we had different things to solve the problem but they have terminated all of that, even the judge couldn't believe it, the judge said no you couldn't do that it would be horrible to do that and he let it go but he said in six months it expires and it expired and that is that so i think you are just doing an incredible job just one week ago a beautiful 22-year-old nursing student from georgia was
5:38 am
barbaric lee attacked, almost unrecognizable, while she was out on her morning run, she was doing a morning run, she was keeping herself and safe, she was a beautiful young women, the best nursing student there was, spoke to her parents yesterday, they are great people, they are devastated beyond belief, but she was so beautiful in so many ways and brutally assaulted and horrifically beaten, kidnapped and savagely murdered. the monster charged in the death is an illegal alien migrant that was let in the country and released into the communities by crooked joe biden, i took the name away from hillary because she is no longer relevant, i guess, she was terrible but what he is doing is unbelievable.
5:39 am
joe biden will never say her name but we will say it and it has just been a horrible story we have had to live with the past few days and it is hard to believe and his parents -- her parents are just they can never be the same. an illegal alien in -- was brutally -- was arrested for brutally raping a woman on holding a knife in her throat and then he stabbed a man in the face and back and in the face and back many times before this person was found covered in blood standing over the blood of the man he was attacking. last year in a criminal alien released into our country by biden was arrested for raping an 11-year-old and strangling her to death in pasadena, texas and shortly before she was murdered she texted her father that someone was knocking on her door, he arrived home from work
5:40 am
and found his daughter's body stuffed in a laundry basket under the bed. horrible. crooked joe has the blood of countless innocent victims, so many stories to tell, three years ago we had the most secure border in history and people weren't coming because they knew they would not get in and we weren't promising free education, free medical. what governor newsom in california has done is unbelievable, people are pouring in thinking they are getting medical aid but people coming into our country illegally we had catch and release and we built 575 miles of border wall, much more that i promised i would build and in addition we purchased another 200 miles and they sold that much of it for
5:41 am
five cents on the dollar and it is the best wall, the same while you are using because the governor is building a lot of walls and walls work. it walls and wheels, i always said. everything else is obsolete about two weeks after you come up with it. we got mexico to give us 28,000 soldiers.
5:42 am
we had the safest border in the history of our country. and now outside of this area where texas has done an amazing job and in a pretty short period of time they'll have it all covered, they have just been incredible what they -- the operation that they showed me is nothing less than incredible. i'll say this, it's a military operation. we have a military -- this is like a war. it's a military operation. so we had remain in mexico. remember that? can't come into our country, and mexico agreed to it. i'll tell you why, asylum bans, title 42, rapid removals. but title 42 was so important. rapid removal so important.
5:43 am
but the best was remain in mexico. you stay in mexico. we had catch and release in mexico. we had catch before that, it was catch and release a criminal and we released them in the united states. we had no more catch and release, our catch and release was we released them in mexico. if you broke the law, we caught you, deported you or did something else. but we were doing a great job. and that's where it stood. then we had an election. that we ended up getting many millions of more votes than we did. we did much better in 2020 than we ever even thought about doing in 2016. and very bad things happened. from that moment on it was a whole different ballgame in texas and all over. but the governor in texas picked up the ball and they've done an incredible job. it's an honor to be here. brought some people here. some executives from new york. they're marveling at it too. and you're doing your job. now we have to find out what's going on on the side. each side. because arizona is not doing their job. off democrat liberal or more than that governor that probably doesn't want to do anything. so people are just pouring in through arizona. and they're pouring in through the beautiful state, the once beautiful state, still beautiful, i guess, but they have a lot of crime and a lot of problems, california. because the governor is not doing his job in california. he's doing a terrible job. he talks a good game. talks about how wonderful things are. but he's wrong. they have a big outflow of people. people that pay taxes. people that don't commit crimes, a lot of them are leaving. so i want to thank the governor. i want to thank this incredible group of talent behind me. and we just went through a -- we just went through something
5:44 am
very, very special. we did a tour and we did it through all sorts of cameras, they're all over the place. they're in the sky, they're in satellites, in the top of the light pole, all over the place. you really have it done, i'm appreciative of it governor, you did a great job, you're my friend, it's an honor to have your support and endorsement and likewise me to you. thank you. great to be here. thank you. governor abbott: thank you, president trump, for being back in texas. you being here shows that today is a day of an extraordinary contrast. we have president trump back in the state of texas, literally on the border itself in a place he's been to many times. talking about all the things that he's done to secure the border. at the very same time we have president biden down in brownsville, texas. which was an obligatory visit by him. he had never been to the border. i don't think he's on the border itself right now. he's in some sanitized location in the brownsville area. not seeing the razor wire that texas has put up around brownsville. and he announced he was going to brownsville after it was already known that president trump was
5:45 am
coming to the state of texas. it just goes to show that biden does not care about either texas or the border. and what's going on. as a result you see a disaster. the united states of america is dealing with more deadly consequences than we have in my entire lifetime because of joe biden's policies on the border. and it did not have to be this this way. as president trump just talked, there were four policies he put in place that led to the lowest illegal border crossings in about four decades. the end of catch and release. the title 42 policy. the remain in mexico policy. and building the border wall. all joe biden had to do to secure the border was to keep in place what president trump put in place in the first place. but instead, what joe biden did, he signed executive orders eliminating all of the effective
5:46 am
policies that president trump put in place. and then joe biden, joe biden did something even worse. joe biden lied to america. when he told america that he needed congress to pass laws for him to be able to do something about the border. because there are three laws that congress has already passed that are on the books right now that biden could and should enforce. one is a law that requires the biden administration to deny illegal entry into the united states. like what texas is doing right here and like what president trump did. he's not denying illegal entry. president biden is aiding and abetting illegal entry. the second law is requires the president's administration to detain anybody who does get here illegally. biden is not detaining them.
5:47 am
he's releasing them across the entire country. the third law that congress already has on the books is a law that requires the biden administration to build border barriers like what texas has built. like what president trump has built. and biden not only is not building any borders, biden is using every tool that he can to tear down the borders that texas is putting up in our state. and because what biden is doing has endangered our country, as president trump was telling you the story, not a week goes by without an american either losing their life, being raped or assaulted by somebody that biden has allowed in our country illegally, the fact of the matter is, because of joe biden's policies and the more than eight million people who have crossed the border, the united states of america is being invaded. because biden is not doing his
5:48 am
job to step up and secure the border, texas has invoked the authority provided to us in article 1, section 10 of the united states constitution, to declare an invasion and for texas to defend our -- ourselves from the crimes that are being caused by joe biden. very quickly, here's what texas is doing. texas is the only state in the history of america to build our own border wall. and we did not reinvent the wheel. we're just building the very same wall that president trump put up. second, we deployed those big orange buoys into the rio grande that are effective at denying illegal entry. and joe biden filed a lawsuit to try to put a stop to it. even though that lawsuit is tied up in the courts right now, those buoys remain in the rio grande river as we speak right now. the third thing is we have tremendous members of the texas national guard, led by general selzer, general, thank you, and i want to take this time to thank martin freeman from the texas department of public
5:49 am
safety and mike banks, where we have our own border czar. mike banks has spent more time as texas border czar in one day than the united states border czar has spend in her entire tenure. i want to thank mike banks for his job as a former border patrol agent and now as the texas border czar. but what our national guard has done, they have sealed off this entire park. and taken it over. because this area was being used by the biden administration to violate the laws of the united states of america and i said, i will not allow this texas land to be used by the biden administration to violate american laws. and i asked the national guard to take it over and they did in one day.
5:50 am
but this is the important fact. since they took it over, the number of people that used to
5:51 am
come across the border before were 3,000, 4,000, sometimes 5,000 people a day. now since this park has been taken over and wired shut, there is on average about six or seven people coming across a day. most of them are in violation of state law for trespassing and they are arrested. when they come into this park. so for all practical purposes, this part of the border is sealed. same goes for where joe biden is right now. where joe biden is, on the night that joe biden lifted title 42, brownsville, texas, was ground zero where people were crossing across the border illegally. and immediately the texas national guard wired that shut. so an area during the time of joe biden, before title 42 was -- or when title 42 was lifted, there were thousands of people coming across the border. now there is on a average about 14 people crossing the border in that area. that's because the texas national guard has wired it shut. because we are having to do so much to secure our border, that's exactly why five miles south of here, texas has now launched its own texas national guard military base that will house 2,300 texas national guard so they will be able to more swiftly and more effectively continue to secure our border. the last thing i'll say is this. unless and until joe biden steps up and does his job, that he has the power to do already, to enforce the laws of the united states of america, texas will continue to bus those migrants to sanctuary cities all across the united states of america. but i am very thankful for the model set by president trump. trump showed that when he was in office he was able to secure the border. and i know that when he is
5:52 am
re-elected as our president, our border will once again be secured. so thank you, president trump. at this time i would like to introduce you to the person leading the effort on behalf of the texas national guard, general selzer. >> thank you. good afternoon, everyone. your texas national guard remains decisively engaged across 1,254 of texas boarder from el paso down to brownsville we are blocking illegal immigration, drug smuggling, weapon smuggling into this state. we do this in depth. we have boats on the river, as you can see. we have drones in the sky. we have a radar truck right over there. that can track 300 targets at
5:53 am
once. and if they get to the shore, as everyone just said, they're going to meet miles and miles of barriers. if they get through the barrier they're going to meet thousands of texas soldiers and thousands of d.p.s. troopers who are going to arrest them. so if you are around the world , contemplating coming to do an illegal entry into the united states of america, you need to think twice about that. go somewhere else. or don't even begin your journey. if you get through that wire we're going to arrest you. [inaudible] president trump: sure. governor, i'll go and then --
5:54 am
abbott: if biden were here i'd tell him what i told him on he tarmac in el paso. i handed him a one-page document that listed all the items i talked about here, the laws that already exist that he can enforce to secure the border. i handed it to him and handed it to secretary mayorkas who were there at the time. i said there are these three simple strategies you can take right now to secure the border to stop all the madness that's taking place. they said they would take a look at it. i've not heard from them since that time. mr. trump: venezuela is a terrible situation. when i left they were in very bad shape. we would have done something very easily with them just like we had a lot of countries in very bad shape. as you know, just to go to a different part of the world, iran was broke, they weren't going to be attacking israel, they had no money. they weren't giving it to hamas
5:55 am
or hezbollah, they didn't have it. now they're rich, $250 billion and rich as you can be and they're handing money out all over the place. venezuela was in bad shape, now they're in good shape we buy their oil if you can believe it we refine it and use it. it's the only place you can refine it because it's more tar than oil. we would not be playing games with venezuela. they're sending people and they just put out a statement last week, we're not taking them back. they're sending people from jails and prisons and mental institutions. they say we're not taking them back. that wouldn't happen with the trump administration, that i can tell you. i want to thank everybody. i want to thank the governor and the entire group of people behind me and i would call them staff and i would call them representatives and generals, they are unbelievable people. the job they've done so quickly and so effectively and congratulations, congratulations to all of you guys, fantastic job, really.
5:56 am
good job. thank you all very much. great honor. thank you. [inaudible] president trump: i hear he's not going to be leader and he's taking that step. a lot of people are calling me to politic for that particular job. would you like to be the leader? i think i might have to choose this guy. governor abbott: i'd rather be governor of texas. president trump: people were surprised by it. it's all going to work out, we'll end up with a great leader. i can't say that. a lot of good choices. i can say that. thank you very much.
5:57 am
5:58 am
pres. biden: where am i going? >> right over
