Statement From U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross on the Release of President Trump’s Immigration Priorities

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

"President Trump's tighter border controls have already reduced greatly the influx of illegal aliens, but he needs legislation to finish the task. I support his request to secure our borders, swiftly return illegal entrants, stop visa fraud and overstays, sanctuary cities, asylum abuse and chain immigration, as well as exploitative employment of illegal aliens. This will take money for more ICE officers, more federal prosecutors and more physical barriers. That will be money well spent!"
