因此，从其他国家来的人越多越好。

Even if we can't really vet⁸ them, even if they become wards⁹ of the state, even if they bring in more crime, more violence, their extended family comes in - third cousins twice removed.

即使我们不能仔细审查他们，即使他们成为国家的监视对象，即使他们会带来更多犯罪，更多暴力，还会拖家带口把整个大家庭的人都带过来———比如隔了两代的第三代表亲。

To the Left, to the open borders establishment, they're better than the old normal.

对于左派和开放边界规则的制定者来说，这些人比普通美国人更好。

这些钱只会被浪费掉，因为拜登的团队没能力管理。

Second thing we should do, defend the states who were trying to do the right thing.
