look who's here, congressman carlos gimenez from the house select committee on china.ght and watch this heart-warming -- we know you're at the rnc. there was an emotional sequence last night between senator vance and his mother, and then you're going to hear j.d. vance and what he thinks about what's going if on with china. watch this. >> i love you, mom. [cheers and applause] [applause] >> together we will protect the wages of american workers and stop the chinese communist party from building their middle class on the backs of american citizens. when i was in the fourth grade, a career politician by the name of joe biden supported nafta, a bad trade deal that sent countless good jobs to mexico. [background sounds] when i was a sophomore in high school, that same career politician named joe biden gave china a sweetheart trade deal that destroyed even more good american, middle class manufacturing job9. jobs. elizabeth: well, he really took it to 'em. what do you think, sir? >> music to my ears especially with china. you know, i've been a china hawk for a long time. of

. >> [applause] stuart: it's time to bring in congressman carlos gimenez, republican from florida., what would you do with the illegal migrants who are already here? many of them seem to be working certainly in florida. >> well, what i would do is take the money that we were going to spend on 87,000 irs agents and convert that, a lot of that into hearing officers for immigration services and i'd start with the last migrants that got here are going to be the first ones to get their hearing and if they don't have a asylum claim when they will be returned to their country of origin and that does something pretty important, stuart. it actually gives a signal to the rest of the people that want to come to the united states that hey, there's a new sheriff in town. your likelihood of actually staying in the united states is very small so don't even make the trip. that will have the effect of stopping really slowing down this illegal immigration in the united states and then you start working back through the biden administration all the millions of people that were brought in during his a

thank you so much let's discuss with republican congressman carlos gimenez of florida congressman. great to see you as always. you were supportive of marco rubio of florida senator for the vice presidential nomination. i'm wondering if you think it's a missed opportunity for donald trump to not have selected rubio. >> i think that president trump has every right to choose who wanted. he feels that senator vance is somebody who is better suited. i mean, he did a lot of talking different people. he vetted lot of people, and he took this is a very deliberate process and i think that the last statement was true. he knows that whoever it was that he chose to be his vice president. and once he got elected, that that individual be the presumptive nominee in 2028, and somebody that will carry on the tradition or his policies passed his four years. and i think that was very important to him. and so he felt that senator vance was the best person to do that. and so the entire party will be behind senator vance as we are behind president trump. >> i do want to ask you about those policies in p
