That’s not even close to what I said.

If we really want to solve the problem, we need to eliminate root problem, the root motivation for why so many people are trying to get in. The war on drugs needs to end, the destabilization of Latin American countries needs to end. And for people who want to legally immigrate, there should be reform so that they can quickly, easily, and cheaply immigrate so long as they don’t have a criminal record. Our nation was built on the strength of immigration, and we’ve lost that strength.

Criminals and drug traffickers should continue to be stopped at the border. Everybody else should be able have freedom.
