Trump pledges security: ‘We can’t continue to live this way’

Donald Trump on Tuesday night promised to make America safe again, and protect it’s citizens from violent immigrants by building the border wall and bringing “total justice” to criminal offenders.

“We are going to be so straight down the middle… in terms of justice, but we’re not going to let people take advantage of us,” Trump said in North Carolina. “We’re going to go to the movie theater, we’re going to go on airplanes, we’re going to lead our lives like we’re supposed to lead our lives.”

“There’s going to be total justice, but we can’t continue to live this way,” he added. “People are going to be afraid to go out, they already are.”

“If you think you feel safer now than you did eight years ago, I think there’s probably not anybody in this room who feels this way,” he said.

Trump again promised to build the wall, and said keeping violent criminals out in the first place is a most cost-effective way to bring security to the country. He said the government today spends billions to police people who have entered illegally, but said that’s not enough.

“Our federal authorities spend billions of dollars and deploy thousands of agents tracking and disrupting terrorist plots from people that are not really up to any good,” he said.

“We’re going to stop it folks, we’re going to stop it,” he said.

“We need border,” Trump added. “If we don’t have borders, we don’t have a country.”
