PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: These are just tremendous people. Many have been my friends for a long period of time, and I thought we'd go around the table and say a few words and that'll be great. Let's start with Pastor, please.

PASTOR RAMIRO PEÑA: Sure. Mr. President, thank you for having us here today. I have a letter to present to you from 150 Hispanic evangelical leaders simply saying an expression of gratitude for your good-faith efforts to work with Democrats and try to get everyone to the table to get things moving again. You've done a very good job in being the leader we need you to be in extending a hand to them to come to the table and we want to say thank you for doing that and we want to say thank you for doing everything you can to get aid in a humanitarian way for this crisis where it's needed most, securing our borders and providing for law enforcement and the Border Patrol everything they need, all the tools and resources that are needed. One thing you have not done, Mr. President, is manufacture a humanitarian crisis. It's real and although many people began to declare repeatedly that this is a 'manufactured' crisis, being a pastor from Texas, I can tell you the human suffering that's been going on for many decades has hit a fever pitch, and I'm grateful that you have shown leadership to recognize it, to call it out and to actually do something about it.
