The danger with the immigration issue is that it can be- it can lead to nativism and encourage behavior which is really not how Americans should view the world. [SEP] The long-term solution, by the way, to- for example, immigration issues with Mexico, is for Mexico to grow a middle class.

As I said during our March hearing in the Judiciary Committee on violence and discrimination against Asian Americans, the victims of this racist hate are not strangers who pose a threat merely because of their race or ethnicity.

2,625

continue
2,626
We're not allowing people to come in.

continue
2,627
In terms of premiums, we believe strongly that through this whole process and as it takes effect, that we'll see a decrease in not only the premiums that individuals will see, but a decrease in the cost of healthcare for folks.

continue
2,631
With NAFTA we're moving forward with our trade strategy. [SEP] Trade is part of my long-term economic growth plan to create more opportunities for all Americans.

continue
2,637
As a result, this is a generational investment - a generational investment to modernize our infrastructure, creating millions of good-paying jobs - and that's not coming from me; that's coming from Wall Street - millions of good-paying jobs that position America to compete with the rest of the world in the 21st century - because China is way out-working us, in terms of infrastructure. [SEP] And it's going to make the world of difference for families here in Wisconsin.
continue
2,638
You have power to affect change nationally in a way, many other Americans don't, you're sending me back to Washington to put our country and our people first to make America great. [SEP] Again, you and me working together can succeed in a place that fails you every single day.

2,639
And I know what a working economy looks like. [SEP] And an economy with 7.8-percent unemployment is not a real strong economy.
continue
2,640
If you look at the young sailor - Saucier - I mean he went to jail over not classified, a much lower level. [SEP] And it's very unfair that he goes to jail, and that Comey's allowed to do it all over.

2,643
When I go out to Iowa, when I go out to the different states and I talk, they want to run their school programs locally, and they'll do a much better job than somebody - and look, these are some very good people in Washington, but you also have bureaucrats that make a lot of money and don't really care that much about what they're doing or about the community that they have never seen and they'll never meet, and they never will see.

continue
2,650
But I believe that in the end, the American people will see that it is a win for our workers, our businesses and our middle class.

continue
2,651

continue
2,662
Ninety-five percent of small businesses won't be required to cover their employees, but many that do will receive a tax credit to help them pay for it.

continue
2,663

continue
2,668
So instead of waiting on line for four weeks to see a doctor, they can go immediately outside, get a private doctor, we pay for the bill, and the vet is in great shape. [SEP] But we actually save money, but more importantly, we save their lives, and we save the quality of their life.

continue
2,672
He's going to refer to that today, and I think that's something he'll be talking more about in the future. [SEP] Secondly -- and this is something I mentioned earlier -- it's the people with lower skills and less education who are not enjoying the wage appreciation like others.
