President Donald Trump told the National Governors Association today that the budget he will propose to Congress will “focus on keeping Americans safe,” including by removing foreign drug lords, gang leaders and murderers from the country. “This budget follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping out terrorists, keeping out criminals, and putting violent offenders behind bars, or removing them from our country altogether,” Trump said at the White House. Trump lauded the job being done so far by retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, the secretary of Homeland Security. “And I must say that we’ve been treated very well--very, very well--on the job that General Kelly has done at the border,” said Trump. “It’s tough, it’s strong.”
“We’re getting some very, very bad players out of this country--drug lords, gang members, heads of gangs, killers, murderers--we’re getting them out,” said Trump. “That’s what we’re focused on." -- “The press isn’t covering that, unfortunately, but it’s something that is very important,” he said. “We’re getting the bad ones out. And that’s always where I said I was going to start. I was going to start with these bad players. And they are bad. They are rough and tough, and we’re getting them the hell out of our country, and we’re bringing them to where they started out. Let their country do what they have to do with them.”
