He is qualified to do the job from the first day,” she said in a conference that for a few moments was bilingual.

DONALD TRUMP: We are going to build a big border wall to stop illegal immigration to stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs that continue flowing into our communities. My plan will begin with security here at home. That means safe neighborhoods, secure borders, and protection against terrorism. There cannot be prosperity without law and order.
