A Quote by Paul Ryan

When it comes to immigration, I have actually put more money, under my administration, into border security than any other administration previously.

We agree with that goal [to secure our border] and will be working with [Donald Trump] to finance on construction of the physical barrier, including the wall on the southern border.
