Good evening. [applause] my name is tom campbell, regulator bookshop and we are thrilled to welcome nancy mclean here this evening. Democracy in chains is a marvelous book. I have made no secret of just how important i think this book is in my humble opinion.

Just Border Security that allows hypocritical democrats to pretent they are not race baiters. One of his predecessors spoke in equally colorful language. Here is bill clinton from his 1995 state of the union address. Our administration has moved to secure our borders by hiring a Record Number of Border Guards and deporting twice as many Illegal Immigrants as possible. We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. Kennedy he wasnt the only tough talker. Remember this guy . Because we live in an table when terrorists are challenging our borders, we cannot allow people to pour into the u. S. Undowvmentd and unchecked. Americans are better to demand better Border Security and better enforcement of the immigration laws. Kennedy he deported more people than any other president ever.
