The video says (transcribed automatically):

So I want to respectfully remind everybody where we've come from. Just two years ago, our country was being invaded by millions of illegal aliens crossing the border every single day. Why? Because there were no consequences. There were unprecedented releases into the United States. Communities around our entire country were suffering. The chaos at the border empowered the cartels to bring pretty much anything they wanted into this country with very little risk. And it put every single American community at risk, whether you're in Miami or whether you're in Chicago or some other small town. We cannot allow this to happen again. I want to fast forward to today. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullen, America has worked to achieve the most secure border in our history. I think many of you know my background as a Border Patrol agent. I walked that border for almost 30 years, and I can stand here and attest to you today. I walked that border for almost 30 years. And I. It is more secure than it's ever been in our history, not just because of the numbers, but because we know more about what's crossing the border today than we ever have in history.
