PRESIDENT TRUMP: We've done a lot of trips to the border over the years, and told a lot of stories about border victims, including the stories of the Amazing Angel Moms. Time doesn't heal all wounds. But we have never seen anything in terms of the volume and viciousness like what we are seeing now in our country. It is an onslaught of violence.

-So, we've done a lot of trips to the border over the years and told a lot of stories about border victims, including the stories of the amazing angel moms who have never been appreciated. They're incredible women, what they've gone through. They're going through a similar thing. And many of them -- I asked about time, but this time -- because many of them -- this took place a long time ago -- with borders and horrible people coming in. And I don't have to tell you about the crimes, but the level of viciousness of the crime was unbelievable. But they said, "Time doesn't heal." You know, the expression, "Time heals all wounds." It doesn't -- I spoke to some people. They say they're worse now than they were 15 years ago. And this started during -- largely during Obama. And then we stopped it. We had it stopped. And then the first day in, they just said, "We're not doing anything. We're not doing anything." And all they had to do was let our people -- that we had a place -- the best people, the best people. I was listening to people like Tom Homan, who is, you know, just an incredible patriot -- tough, smart, gets-it-good man, but he's tough. I've been listening to all these people. They've been friends of mine for a long time. They know it better than anybody. But the level of criminality is unbelievable. It's an onslaught of violence.
