CNN "State of the Union" interviews for 2023 races: on Immigration


Asa Hutchinson: Pass border security first, then immigration reform

We have always tried before to pass border security with comprehensive immigration reform. We have to do simply a straightforward border security bill. That should be able to get through Congress in a bipartisan way that puts more resources for the Border Patrol for our immigration processing, for the security of our country. And that builds faith with the American public that we can have more comprehensive reform once we secure the border itself.

Chris Christie: Trump didn't do anything to make immigration laws stronger

Donald Trump was arguing again last night about immigration. He didn't do anything to change the immigration laws to make them better or stronger for America. And he built 47 miles of new wall in his four years as president. At that rate, he would need 110 more years as president to be able to finish the wall between United States and Mexico.
