“As you know, President Obama had separation. President Obama, in 2014, built the cells that you always show on television. They were built -- they were built by President Obama. But he had separation. The one thing he didn't have is a good economy, so he didn't have the kind of onslaught that we're having. We have a tremendous onslaught on people. Who can blame them? They want to get in; they want to take advantage of the economy.”
