We have to say what`s happening. There is crime, as you know. There`s a lot of crime and there`s a lot of problems. But I think together [with Enrique Pena], we`ll solve those problems.
Having a secure border is a sovereign right and mutually beneficial.
We recognize and respect the right of either country to build a physical barrier or wall on any of its borders to stop the illegal movement of people, drugs, and weapons.
And they [illegal immigrants] will come back, but they are going to have to go out, and hopefully they get back.
The president of Mexico, or the ex-president, or whatever, whoever, who cares, he said, we will not even consider paying for the wall.
Mexico will pay for it [the wall], because they are not doing us any favors. They could stop all of this illegal trade if they wanted to immediately.
[Illegal immigrants] they`re bringing drugs. They`re bringing crime. They`re rapists.Somebody is doing the raping. Somebody is doing it. There`s women being raped. Well, who is doing the raping? Who is doing the raping?
We have to take people that are here illegally, and we have to move them out. And you know what? It`s going to be done.
We have to create that strength, and sometimes we have to reduce bureaucracy. It just gets in our way.
Early in my term I will also be requesting that all NATO nations promptly pay their bills, which many are not now doing.
[NATO countries] have no respect for our country. They will do it. They'll be happy to do it.
They [ Germany, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia] will fully understand. They're economic behemoths. They're tremendously successful countries, but we're subsidizing them for billions and billions of dollars.
Finally, we will have at our disposal additional revenues from unleashing American energy. The Institute for Energy Research cites a short run figure of as much as $36 billion annually from increased energy production, tremendous amounts of money.
Your electric bills will go down.
Using these new funds, I will ask my secretary of defense to propose a new defense budget to meet the following longtime goals.
We will build an active army of around 540,000, as the Army's chief of staff has said he needs desperately and really must have to protect our country.
We now have only 31 brigade combat teams or 490,000 troops. And only one-third of combat teams are considered combat-ready. That's not good for our country. I actually don't even like saying it because plenty of countries are watching us right now, but we'll get it shaped up very quickly.
We will build a Marine Corps based on 36 battalions, which the Heritage Foundation notes is the minimum needed to deal with major contingencies. Right now we only have 23.
We will build a Navy of 350 surface ships and submarines, as recommended by the bipartisan National Defense Panel. We right now only have 276 ships, and it's not enough.
We will build an Air Force of at least 1,200 fighter aircraft, which the Heritage Foundation again has shown to be needed to execute current missions. We now have 1,113. Not enough. We will also seek to develop a state-of-the-art missile defense system.
[Hillary Clinton] is trigger happy and very unstable. Whether we like it or not, that's what's going on.
[Hillary Clinton] is also reckless. So reckless, in fact, that she put her emails on an illegal server that our enemies could easily hack and probably have.
Clinton's team used a technology called BleachBit, which is basically acid, and this is going to acid wash her emails. Who would do this? She claims she couldn't recall important information on 39 separate and different occasions. She can't even remember whether she has trained in the use of classified information. And she said she didn't know the letter C means "confidential" or at least "classified." If she can't remember such crucial events and information, honestly, she's totally unfit to be our commander-in-chief, totally unfit.
America will be a prosperous, generous, and inclusive society.
We will discard the failed policies and division of the past and embrace true American change to rebuild our economy, rebuild our inner cities - they need help so desperately - and rebuild our country. We will bring back our jobs, and we will not let our jobs go to other countries.
