The vast majority of the people that move illegally into United States are not bad people. They're not criminals. They're not MS-13, but they're also not people that would easily assimilate into the United States, into our modern society. They're overwhelmingly rural people. In the countries they come from, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-grade educations are kind of the norm. They don't speak English; obviously that's a big thing. They don't integrate well, they don't have skills.
