"This is a serious problem we've had with a population who's been ordered removed where nobody had the willpower to deal with it even though some of these people were rapists and murderers. And President Trump came along and we decided we were going to fix this problem. @SecRubio deserves a ton of credit for this. It is so difficult to get a country to accept people who are not their own, especially serious criminals. It requires a lot of capital." @DHSGenCounsel

It is so difficult to get a country to accept people who are not their own, especially serious criminals. It requires a lot of capital, it requires a lot of diplomatic efforts, and it's a problem that no Secretary of State before ever
