I sit on budget loans and currently our budget is from $ 60 to $ 70 million, the whole country and ice is like $ 3 to $ 5 million. So to go from $ 3 to $ 5 million to over $ 100 billion, it will be very difficult. ”

For Quelar, the focus remains on the criminals, adding: “All these bands should never be here, so I do not agree with the previous administration. They opened the doors so much that the American people were tired. Now we come up with very strong measures. “

“We had them under President Obama, Trump and Biden. The guard and the military were here in the past, as long as they did not apply immigration policy. Because this is a border patrol, but can they be used to flying their military aircraft for support? I support this, ”said Quelar.
