Chief, there's no question that the 
reality here has changed dramatically 
from the past year, but some people 
would say that the policies that have been implemented under this administration have been harsh and inhumane. 
What do you say to that? 
>> I think it's keeping our country safe. 
I don't think it's harsh or or inhumane. 
Crossing the border is illegal, right? 
So, all this uh border barrier that you see, uh it's going to be bigger, better, and uh more beautiful. 
It's it's going to it's going to be hardened wall, those kinds of things. 
It's not harsh. It's 
just protecting the American public. 
My mom at home at points north into the 
United States. Uh my wife and kids, everybody's safer because we now can identify and classify and mitigate uh any threat coming into the United States. 
States. Border security is national security. 
This country cannot be safe 
without secure borders. 
>> So you reject the accusation that the policy here at the border is too harsh, inhumane. 
>> Correct. Because some people may see this behind us, the razor wire the fence and say it looks like a battlefield, a war zone. 
>> It looks like a place where you wouldn't want to cross, right? 
>> You know, go to the port of entry, do it legally, right? Why why why would it be 
harsh to protect our country, to protect our loved ones?
