BRANDON JUDD: Once [migrants] get released into the United States, if they show up to C.I.S., citizens immigration service, they can petition for work permits. And they're almost always granted these work permits. So yes, they can start working in [the] United States. They also start receiving benefits in the United States. They put their children in school. They receive social benefits, all of the different benefits.

And, you know, during a worker shortage that might be fine. But right now, we're looking at some serious problems here in the United States, economic problems. And if we go into a recession, then where are all the jobs going to be for the United States citizens? That's one of the issues that we have to look at, and that's why it just doesn't make sense what we're seeing on the border today. We must protect our borders. We must stop illegal immigration. And then once we do that, then we can also go after the cartels and the criminality that exists on the border.
