'Perfect exactly the way God made you': 7 highlights from Trump's address to a joint session of Congress

5. Trump vows to 'wage war on the cartels,' asks Congress for border security funding
Throughout Trump's remarks, the theme of border security loomed large.
Lamenting that "the territory to the immediate south of our border is now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture and exercise total control … over a whole nation" and pose "a grave threat to our national security," Trump asserted that "the cartels are waging war on America."
"It's time for America to wage war on the cartels," he proclaimed. "I have sent Congress a detailed funding request laying out exactly how we will eliminate these threats to protect our homeland and complete the largest deportation operation in American history."
Trump asserted, "Americans expect Congress to send me this funding without delay so I can sign it into law." He urged Johnson and U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., to "get it to me," adding, "I'll sign it so fast you won't even believe it."
