6:50 am
>> four months ago after weeks of intense negotiations, taking the necessary steps to secure our border. extremely cynical political move, complete this service to the american people who are looking to us to fix the border. i'm joined by a bipartisan group of governors, mayors, law enforcement officials who live and work along the southern order. they know the border is not a political issue.
6:51 am
a responsibility we have to share to do something about it. you do not have time self i'm using -- so i'm using executive authority to address the border. i would have preferred bipartisan negotiation to hire more asylum officers and judges but republicans left me no choice. i am barring migrants who cross our southern border from receiving asylum. they will be restricted at the southern border unless they enter through an established lawful process and those who seek to come illegally, by making an appointment, asylum will be available, still
6:52 am
available. but if you choose not to use legal pathways, coming against the law, they will be restricted from the united states. this will help us gain control, restore order. it will remain in place until the number of people trying to enter is reduced to a level our system can manage. consistent with all responsibilities, every one of them. we made important reforms in our asylum system. more secure reforms. as possible. a migrant is less likely to pay thousands of dollars to take them on a dangerous journey, knowing that they will be turned around quickly.
6:53 am
two weeks ago we addressed cases where people cross the border, making a decision in six months, that is what happens now. new rules will allow law enforcement to remove those with criminal convictions from the united states. my administration is going after criminal networks that profit from smuggling and give tips to law enforcement, provided information to bring smugglers to justice. we are sending federal prosecutors and prosecuting individuals who break our immigration laws. another step that took a huge
Check
6:54 am
difference is working with our mexican neighbors instead of attacking mexico. we've built a strong partnership of trust between the mexican president and i will do the same with the
6:55 am
six years, which is what it takes now. and 100 more detection sheehan to screen and stop fentanyl from being smuggled into the united states. these investments were a primary reason that the border patrol endorsed a bipartisan deal. these remain essential and if you are not willing to hire more border patrol agents, asylum officers, judges, high-tech machinery, you are not serious about protecting our borders. immigration has always been the lifeblood of america. we are renewed by a fusion of people with new talents. the statue of liberty is not a relic, it stands for who we are as the united states, so i will never demonize immigrants or refer to them as poison in the blood of our country.
6:56 am
i will never separate children from their families, i will not and people because of religious beliefs, not use the u.s. military to pull millions of people out of their homes and away from their families to detention camps while awaiting my predecessor says he would do. my first day as president, i introduced a comprehensive reform plan to fix our broken system, secure the border, provide for dreamers and more. i'm fighting to get that done. we must face a simple truth. to protect america that must secure the border now. the simple truth is there is a worldwide migrant crisis and the united states does not secure our border, there is no limit to the number of people who will try to come here because there
6:57 am
is no better ways and the united states. for those who say i'm too strict, i say the patient and the goodwill of the american people is wearing in. we must act consistent with our law and our values. i take these steps today not to walk away from who we are, to make sure we preserve who we are for future generations. i've spoken about what we need to do. in the weeks ahead i will speak to how we can make immigration fair and just. let's stop fighting about it. i'm doing my part, congressional republicans should do their part. thank you very much.
