You know exactly what it means.  Otherwise, you wouldn't have isolated one particular sentence, from the entire quote, for the purpose of attempting to get me to explain things that we both already know.

We need the government to take steps to protect us from all possible threats, not just immigrants.  

People who visit the US on visas are visitors, not immigrants.  As far as I understand, they must file certain paperwork declaring their desire to officially immigrate.  When these visitors violate the terms of their visa, they become illegal foreign nationals.  With the state of affairs in the world right now, we cannot afford to have half a million illegal nationals roaming around, with their whereabouts untracked.  It puts the US citizens in danger.
