Thank you all for being here to support one of the most important pieces of legislation in the history of our country. The one big beautiful bill to secure our borders, interpret charge our economy, and bring back the American Dream. This is the ultimate codification of our agenda to very simply make America great again. Today I signed this bill into law. Most every major promise made in the 2024 campaign already will have become a promise kept.

Look, I think this issue of the big beautiful bill should be nonpartisan. I don't know how to tell what the hell is the matter with everybody up in Congress. People are dying every day. I use this wrestling three times many criminals that Biden administration did. We're taking public safety threats and national security threats off the street every single day, but we got over 600,000 illegal enemies of criminal histories walking the streets of this country. We got less than 5,000 deportation officers. This should be a no brainer. The more resources we get, we get this bill passed. We got more agents on, on, on the, on the road. We buy more beds. We get more transportation flights, more agents being more bad guys arrested, taking off the streets of this country every single day, every day. We rest a public safety threat or national security threat. This makes this country much safer. Who the hell would be against that? And I, and I get irritated. I get pissed off because I'm sick of meeting angel moms and dads. You want to talk about family separation. They bury their children. So this, I've done this since 1984. I've worked for six different presidents. No one has had the success of the Trump administration. We got the most secure border in the history of this nation today. But we, but we need more border wall border wall, save lives. Women and children can't get over that wall, which means they go to a place where there's not a wall and what's waiting on them, the men and women, the board of children who take care of this humanitarian needs and save their lives. We already got fentanyl seizures down half. Fentanyl seizures should be a hundred percent. We should have zero fentanyl come in this country. We need money to help secure that border at higher level. Stop the fentanyl from coming in. Stock the sec, stop the sex trafficking of women and children. Stop the known inspected terrorists coming across that border. Right now, I was looking at the stats today. I used to arrest in a record number of known suspected terrorists in this country, along with the FBI. With more money, we can arrest more of these people, make this country safer. This is a nonpartisan issue. Let's make this country safe again. So to the Democrats and the Republicans and the Independents, I don't care who you're from pass the bill. So we make this country safe so we can stop the violence against ICE officers. Let's make this country safe again. And without that bill, it's going to be a hard road. We got a lot of people to look for a lot of people to arrest. A lot of national security threats we know are in this country. We need to find them. We need more money to do that. We know we need more agents to do that. For God's sake, let's pass this bill and get this done.

One big, beautiful bill will also be an incredible victory for American farmers, another group that we did great with, especially family farmers like James Cullifer of Virginia Beach. Our bill will provide 100 percent expensing so they can buy a new farm, new farm equipment. And by the way, the expensing is good for everybody, not just farmers. And it'll virtually eliminate the so-called estate tax or the death tax. So you have a farm, you leave it to your children. If you like the children, you leave it. If you don't, don't worry about the details. No, some people don't want to leave them. They don't like their kids, you know? Anybody in here not liking their children, farmers? But if you like your kids, you want to leave it. And a lot of times what was happening before I got there, because I put this in the first tax bill, as you know, but people would die. They'd leave their farm. There was no cash, but there was value to the farm, sometimes good value. It's called real estate, rich and cash poor. And the kids had no money, and they'd be foreclosed out by a bank, they'd borrow money to pay the estate tax. You don't have to pay estate tax anymore. That's pretty big stuff. So for the farmers and for others in small business, it's great. But James' family has been working in the land for generations, and with this bill, we will ensure that family farms like his can stay and the family for many generations to come. Where's James? And you know what I mean, James? People pass away, they love their kids or whoever they're leaving, but they love their kids especially. And you won't have the family farmer anymore the long time because they were losing them to the banks and they were losing them at record numbers, it's not going to happen anymore. There's no tax.

This bill will also be the single most important piece of border legislation ever to cross the floor of Congress. We will hire 3,000 new Border Patrol officers and 10,000 new ICE agents. And these people are great. I tell you what, I got to know a lot of them. And we have tremendous representation. They've been for me from day one. In fact, I shouldn't say this, but they endorsed me when I first ran almost at the beginning. And they weren't sure if they were allowed to endorse me. And they said, we don't care, we're endorsing you. But they were great. And they've been my friends ever since. But think of that. So we're going to hire 3,000 new Border Patrol officers, 10,000 new ICE agents. And you know, these ICE guys, they go into war zones and they're tough and they love our country. And if you're not going to be tough, you're not going to do well. But they are tough and they'll break into a pack and they go on a pack. Some of these packs come out of the jails of Venezuela. They come from places that you don't want to know about the gang members that have been all sent in here through Biden's open door, stupid policy. The dumbest policy. I think, well, we have a lot of dumb policies, but the worst, I think, is open borders where anybody comes into our country totally unvetted, totally unchecked. And they're drug dealers and they're people that we don't want them. And they're murderers. You know, they're murderers. I told you, over 11,000 murderers. They're in here. 50 percent of those, by the way, murdered more than one person. And they came in. No check in. No anything. It's so sad. What that man has done to this country, we should never forget it, okay? We should never, ever forget it. With that whole group of people, I don't even think it was him. He didn't believe in open borders. He didn't believe in men playing in women's sports or transgender for everybody. But what that group of people has done to this country will never, ever -- I don't think we can ever allow history to forget it. What they've done to us is so sad. We're going to fully fund the final sections of border wall and pose a new remittance tax on money sent back to foreign countries and dramatically increase deportations to a bare minimum of one million illegal aliens per year. And what we're doing is we're really going after the criminal aliens, of which we have plenty to work with. People say, "Well, that's a lot, isn't it?" They say, "Well, remember, these countries are very smart. They're headed up by people I know in almost all cases. They're very smart, smart people, and they have -- they're people of great common sense. They're not sending the good people out. They're sending the bad people out. And they put them into caravans. I think I came up with that name, but somebody did. It's a great name. A caravan. Thousands and sometimes as many as 30,000 people walking right into our country. Again, last month we had none. Think of that. It's almost -- people say it's almost impossible. But they come in, and at a minimum, they're not people that work very hard, they're people that are on welfare. They don't want them. They don't want them. They give them to us. It's incredible what's happened, and it's so sad to see. It's so sad. It could make you just sick to your stomach when you think about it. I was going to say it could make you cry, but I like to pretend I never cry. I don't want to be -- I don't want to be a crier. But it makes you sick to think of what they did. What they did to us is just sick. And guys, if we didn't have a Tom Holman and if we didn't have some of the guys that we have working so hard and dangerously, the country wouldn't stand a chance. But we're getting them out not as fast as they came in, because they came in and you'd see hundreds of thousands pour into our country in a day. But we're getting them out.
