GARNISHMENT HAKEEM JEFFRIES
URGES PRESIDENT TRUMP TO RELEASE
HIS TAX RETURNS.
PRES. TRUMP: MY FELLOW AMERICANS
, WE ARE ONLY 11 WEEKS IN, BUT
ALREADY MY ADMINISTRATION HAS
ACHIEVED HISTORIC PROGRESS FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
93% OF OUR DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES
HAVE EXPRESSED OPTIMISM ABOUT
THE FUTURE, A RECORD.
THE CONFIDENCE WE ARE SEEING IN
OUR NATION IS ABOUT JOBS AND OPPORTUNITY.
IT IS ALSO ABOUT SAFETY AND
SECURITY.
SECURITY BEGINS AT THE BORDER.
AS A CANDIDATE I PLEDGED TO TAKE
SWIFT AND DECISIVE ACTION TO
SECURE THE BORDER, AND THAT IS
EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE DONE.
WE INHERITED A FULL-FLEDGED
BORDER CRISIS. IT WAS A DISASTER.
YET WITH QUICK AND BOLD STEPS
WE HAVE SO FAR EXCEEDED EVEN THE
MOST BULLISH PREDICTIONS FOR THE
PROGRESS WE COULD MAKE IN SO
SURE A. OF TIME.
LAST MONTH WE SAW A 64%
REDUCTION IN A ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ON OUR SOUTHERN
BORDER.
AT THE SAME TIME, WE ARE
CONDUCTING ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO REMOVE
DANGEROUS CRIMINAL ALIENS FROM
OUR SOCIETY.
THEY WILL BE GONE.
AND JUST THE LAST FEW DAYS AND
NATIONS ICE OFFICERS HAVE
ARRESTED CRIMINAL ALIENS IN
SOUTH TEXAS, 84 CRIMINAL ALIENS
IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND 31 CRIMINAL ALIENS IN LONG ISLAND,
NEW YORK.
THESE ARRESTS INCLUDE ALIENS
CONVICTED OF ROBBERY, BURGLARY
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT, SEXUAL
ASSAULT AGAINST A CHILD
SMUGGLING, DRUG DEALING AND MANY
MORE. MUCH WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE TO
REVERSE DECADES OF HARM CAUSED
BY OPEN BORDER POLICIES FROM WASHINGTON.
WITH TIME, DEDICATION AND
EFFORT WE WILL GET THE JOB DONE
AND SAVE COUNTLESS LIVES IN THE
PROCESS, PROVIDING SECURITY FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ALSO MEANS
RESTORING AMERICA'S STANDING IN
THE WORLD.
FROM THE START OF MY PRESIDENCY,
I HAVE WORKED TO STRENGTHEN OUR
ALLIANCES AND IMPROVE OUR
RELATIONSHIPS ALL AROUND THE
GLOBE.
THIS WEEK I WAS HONORED TO
WELCOME THE PRESIDENT OF EGYPT AND THE KING OF JORDAN TO THE
WHITE HOUSE.
NOW, I AM HOSTING A SUMMIT WITH
PRESIDENT XI JINPING OF CHINA AT
THE SOUTHERN WHITE HOUSE TO
ADDRESS THE MANY CRITICAL ISSUES
AFFECTING OUR TWO PEOPLES.
IN OUR DEALINGS WITH OTHER
NATIONS, OUR CONVERSATIONS HAVE
BEEN CANDID, OPEN AND GROUNDED
IN MUTUAL RESPECT.
I HAVE BEEN CLEAR ABOUT
ADVOCATING FOR THE NATIONAL
INTEREST OF THE UNITED STATES,
SO IMPORTANT TO ME AND SO
IMPORTANT TO OUR PEOPLE, ONE OF
THE REASONS CERTAINLY THAT I GOT
ELECTED.
I WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE
DECISIONS WE MAKE TRULY SERVE
THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR
CITIZENS.
IN MATTERS ECONOMIC AND
MILITARY, WE UNDERSTAND A STRONG
AMERICA IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS
OF THE WORLD.
THAT IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT
THAT, AS WE STRENGTHEN INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS, WE
INJURE THESE PARTNERSHIPS
DELIVER REAL RESULTS FOR
AMERICANS AND THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
OUR DECISIONS WILL BE GUIDED BY
OUR VALUES AND OUR GOALS AND WE WILL PROJECT THE PATH OF
INTELLECTUAL IDEOLOGY THAT TOO
OFTEN LEADS TO UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES.
A FUTURE PEACE, SAFETY AND
PROSPERITY THAT IS OUR GUIDING
LIGHT, AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
WE WILL BRING ABOUT THIS FUTURE
FOR THE LAND WE LOVE AND FOR THE
PEOPLE WHO CALL IT HOME.
WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY AND WE LOVE
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THANK YOU. >> I'M CONGRESSMAN HAKEEM
JEFFRIES, AND IT IS MY HONOR TO
REVISIT THE HARD-WORKING PEOPLE
OF BROOKLYN AND QUEENS IN ONE OF
THE MOST DIVERSE DISTRICT IN THE NATION.
ALMOST A THIRD OF THE PEOPLE I
SERVE WERE BORN OUTSIDE OF THE
UNITED STATES DURING PEOPLE FROM
ALL OVER THE WORLD COME TO
BROOKLYN AND QUEENS TO PURSUE
THE AMERICAN DREAM.
GROWING UP IN BROOKLYN, MY
GRANDMOTHER OFTEN TOLD MY YOUNGER BROTHER AND ME THAT IF
YOU GET A GOOD EDUCATION, WORK HARD ON YOUR JOB AND PLAY BY THE
RULES,
