Hey, everybody, welcome to the 4 00:00:21,217 --> 00:00:24,017 Speaker 1: Buck Brief. On this episode, our friend Tom Homan is 5 00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:28,057 Speaker 1: with us. He was acting Director of Immigration and Custom 6 00:00:28,177 --> 00:00:32,097 Speaker 1: Enforcement under President Donald Trump. He now is the CEO 7 00:00:32,257 --> 00:00:36,777 Speaker 1: of Border nine to one one UH, doing border education 8 00:00:37,057 --> 00:00:40,417 Speaker 1: programs all across the country. I think it's really the 9 00:00:40,457 --> 00:00:43,817 Speaker 1: most important policy issue right now that faces us. Tom. 10 00:00:43,857 --> 00:00:45,897 Speaker 1: Thanks for being here, appreciate your expertise. 11 00:00:47,137 --> 00:00:47,857 Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. 12 00:00:48,457 --> 00:00:51,017 Speaker 1: So just put it into context. People say things like 13 00:00:51,937 --> 00:00:55,297 Speaker 1: it's the worst it has been at the border. Look 14 00:00:55,337 --> 00:00:58,897 Speaker 1: at the numbers, Look at what's happening in cities because 15 00:00:58,937 --> 00:01:02,697 Speaker 1: of it. When you see this, how do you compare 16 00:01:03,017 --> 00:01:05,817 Speaker 1: what's going on under Biden to what we would expect 17 00:01:06,217 --> 00:01:12,217 Speaker 1: under a more standard presidency when it comes to illegal immgris. 18 00:01:11,817 --> 00:01:14,657 Speaker 2: Well, it's like night and day. I mean, we handed 19 00:01:14,657 --> 00:01:19,017 Speaker 2: this administration the most secure border in my lifetime. That's 20 00:01:19,097 --> 00:01:21,097 Speaker 2: just not my opinion. It's based on data. Anybody can 21 00:01:21,137 --> 00:01:23,457 Speaker 2: go to CBP dot government. Look at the numbers. The 22 00:01:23,497 --> 00:01:27,337 Speaker 2: Trump administration had illegrammigration had a forty five year low 23 00:01:28,177 --> 00:01:31,217 Speaker 2: illegrammagration is down eighty three to ninety percent, depending on 24 00:01:31,217 --> 00:01:34,177 Speaker 2: what time frame you're looking at. And this administration came 25 00:01:34,217 --> 00:01:36,777 Speaker 2: in the first president in the history of this nation, 26 00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:40,057 Speaker 2: Joe Biden an unsecured border. I mean I went for 27 00:01:40,097 --> 00:01:43,537 Speaker 2: six presidents talking Ronald Reagan, every president, even though obamatics 28 00:01:43,537 --> 00:01:46,137 Speaker 2: some steps to secure the border, no one did more 29 00:01:46,137 --> 00:01:48,697 Speaker 2: than President Trump. What he did was unprecedented. But Joe 30 00:01:48,697 --> 00:01:50,937 Speaker 2: Biden came in unsecured border. So it's night and day, 31 00:01:50,937 --> 00:01:53,097 Speaker 2: and now we got historic. We went the most secure 32 00:01:53,177 --> 00:01:57,217 Speaker 2: border in my lifetime to historic never seen before numbers. 33 00:01:57,537 --> 00:02:00,017 Speaker 2: Three years in a row, he keeps breaking his own record. 34 00:02:00,337 --> 00:02:02,857 Speaker 2: First year, historic record under Joe Biden. Jack year, he 35 00:02:02,857 --> 00:02:05,617 Speaker 2: broke his own historic record. Third year, he broke both 36 00:02:05,617 --> 00:02:08,177 Speaker 2: of those records. So it went and went from the 37 00:02:08,217 --> 00:02:10,937 Speaker 2: most secure to the most unsecure seeing in my life. 38 00:02:11,697 --> 00:02:14,337 Speaker 1: What did they do to make it that way? What 39 00:02:14,377 --> 00:02:17,257 Speaker 1: are the decisions the Biden administration took so that we 40 00:02:17,257 --> 00:02:20,617 Speaker 1: would have, as you said, historically, the most unsecured border, 41 00:02:21,657 --> 00:02:22,577 Speaker 1: really in our history. 42 00:02:24,377 --> 00:02:28,697 Speaker 2: You abolished every policy that we created. They gave us 43 00:02:28,697 --> 00:02:31,697 Speaker 2: a more secure border. They remain in Mexico program was 44 00:02:31,737 --> 00:02:36,737 Speaker 2: a game changer. That was the biggest game changer and 45 00:02:36,777 --> 00:02:40,857 Speaker 2: a Trump administration because people can still claim asylum not 46 00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,937 Speaker 2: to way to Mexico and not be released the United 47 00:02:42,977 --> 00:02:45,297 Speaker 2: States until there hearing. And here why that made it 48 00:02:45,417 --> 00:02:48,337 Speaker 2: such a difference. Once they realized they weren't going to 49 00:02:48,337 --> 00:02:50,977 Speaker 2: be released in the United States, either don't shopping court 50 00:02:51,097 --> 00:02:52,977 Speaker 2: or show up in court get ordered moved in that way. 51 00:02:53,497 --> 00:02:55,857 Speaker 2: When they knew they weren't being released in the United States, 52 00:02:56,177 --> 00:02:59,697 Speaker 2: they stopped coming. I mean thousands of people stopped coming. 53 00:02:59,737 --> 00:03:05,297 Speaker 2: It stops, you know, selling everything they own, everything they have, 54 00:03:05,497 --> 00:03:08,097 Speaker 2: every dollar they got to the cartels to come to 55 00:03:08,177 --> 00:03:10,057 Speaker 2: the United States. A lot of people get sexually assault, 56 00:03:10,257 --> 00:03:14,097 Speaker 2: they get a very trustorous journey. They stop coming because 57 00:03:14,137 --> 00:03:17,097 Speaker 2: even they realize they don't really qualify for asylum, they 58 00:03:17,177 --> 00:03:19,137 Speaker 2: just want to come, make an asylum claim, get released 59 00:03:19,177 --> 00:03:21,737 Speaker 2: in the United States and not showpen court. And the 60 00:03:21,737 --> 00:03:24,937 Speaker 2: ones that do shortpen court nine out of ten fail. 61 00:03:25,177 --> 00:03:27,497 Speaker 2: They won't get really from US. Course, so remain in 62 00:03:27,537 --> 00:03:30,417 Speaker 2: Mexico is a game changer. They stopped coming. The other 63 00:03:30,497 --> 00:03:33,217 Speaker 2: game changer a Thursday country agreements. If you're really escape 64 00:03:33,257 --> 00:03:36,097 Speaker 2: and fear from let's say, Gualate Tomala and you get 65 00:03:36,097 --> 00:03:38,977 Speaker 2: to Mexico, have you not escaped there for a persecution 66 00:03:39,057 --> 00:03:41,217 Speaker 2: from your home government because you're not there anymore, so 67 00:03:41,297 --> 00:03:45,577 Speaker 2: should claim asideum in Mexico. Third, is a Mexican Mexican 68 00:03:45,577 --> 00:03:48,737 Speaker 2: military in the northern southern border. Mexico's actually enforcing their 69 00:03:48,777 --> 00:03:52,457 Speaker 2: own immigration laws. Trump demanded that, and those same things. 70 00:03:52,617 --> 00:03:55,977 Speaker 2: The Biden administration could turn all three things on tomorrow 71 00:03:56,377 --> 00:03:58,417 Speaker 2: if they want to secure the border. They choose not to, 72 00:03:59,737 --> 00:04:00,177 Speaker 2: is it at all? 73 00:04:00,217 --> 00:04:01,657 Speaker 1: I mean, there are a couple of things here. One, 74 00:04:02,777 --> 00:04:07,377 Speaker 1: aren't these so called the asylum seekers ineligible? You mentioned this, 75 00:04:07,537 --> 00:04:10,257 Speaker 1: but by passing through Mexico and not trying to get 76 00:04:10,297 --> 00:04:13,657 Speaker 1: asylum there if I'm fleeing first of all, as you 77 00:04:13,697 --> 00:04:16,497 Speaker 1: know better than anyone tell there. They're coming from Pakistan, 78 00:04:16,537 --> 00:04:19,417 Speaker 1: they're coming from West Africa, they're coming from Southeast Asia, 79 00:04:19,457 --> 00:04:23,937 Speaker 1: all over the world. Right, But if you're fleeing violence 80 00:04:24,617 --> 00:04:27,977 Speaker 1: and you get to Mexico, why not seek asylum in 81 00:04:28,017 --> 00:04:30,737 Speaker 1: Mexico first? And doesn't that then make it so that 82 00:04:30,777 --> 00:04:33,857 Speaker 1: they're ineligible once they get to the States. What is 83 00:04:33,857 --> 00:04:34,657 Speaker 1: the status of that? 84 00:04:36,017 --> 00:04:38,697 Speaker 2: Well, you're exactly right, they should be claiming assignment first 85 00:04:38,697 --> 00:04:40,817 Speaker 2: free country they come in, and that's one of the 86 00:04:40,817 --> 00:04:44,137 Speaker 2: things we did, and even the Biden administration was talking 87 00:04:44,137 --> 00:04:47,217 Speaker 2: about doing it. So yeah, you know, it's clear if 88 00:04:47,257 --> 00:04:49,977 Speaker 2: you're really persecution, it's just everybody knows when you claim 89 00:04:49,977 --> 00:04:54,297 Speaker 2: asylum that means you're escaping fear and persecution from your 90 00:04:54,337 --> 00:05:01,417 Speaker 2: home government because your race, religion, political affiliation, or participation 91 00:05:01,657 --> 00:05:04,377 Speaker 2: in a specific social group. For instance, if you're in 92 00:05:04,377 --> 00:05:07,737 Speaker 2: one of the Middle East countries and you're gay, that 93 00:05:07,657 --> 00:05:12,137 Speaker 2: that you can be persecuted for that. So so the 94 00:05:12,177 --> 00:05:14,817 Speaker 2: bottom line is we call them asylum seekers, but people 95 00:05:14,937 --> 00:05:18,257 Speaker 2: need to understand based on ten years of court data, 96 00:05:18,337 --> 00:05:21,697 Speaker 2: ten years of immigration court data, nearly nine out of 97 00:05:21,777 --> 00:05:25,057 Speaker 2: ten people claim asylum at our border will never get 98 00:05:25,097 --> 00:05:26,977 Speaker 2: rid of need you US. Of course, they either don't 99 00:05:26,977 --> 00:05:28,977 Speaker 2: show up, they don't qualify, they'll get order to removal. 100 00:05:29,617 --> 00:05:32,177 Speaker 2: So if that's the thing we did in Trump administration, 101 00:05:32,217 --> 00:05:36,777 Speaker 2: if you're really escaping fear of persecution and Indonesia and 102 00:05:36,817 --> 00:05:39,137 Speaker 2: you pass through four different countries to get here, you 103 00:05:39,137 --> 00:05:41,337 Speaker 2: should have reclaim asylum the first three country you came to. 104 00:05:41,897 --> 00:05:42,977 Speaker 2: You're exactly right. 105 00:05:44,897 --> 00:05:48,897 Speaker 1: Now under the issue of what happens when they don't 106 00:05:49,537 --> 00:05:52,177 Speaker 1: show up in court, right, I mean that's you mentioned 107 00:05:52,217 --> 00:05:55,537 Speaker 1: this most of them, don't we know that? Is there 108 00:05:55,577 --> 00:05:57,497 Speaker 1: any effort to track them down and deport than them? 109 00:05:57,537 --> 00:05:59,737 Speaker 1: Because once you don't show up to your asylum hearing, 110 00:05:59,777 --> 00:06:01,257 Speaker 1: aren't you deportable. 111 00:06:02,777 --> 00:06:04,497 Speaker 2: As soon as you get order removed? Yeah, if you 112 00:06:04,497 --> 00:06:06,737 Speaker 2: don't show up, you'll get to order and absent you 113 00:06:06,857 --> 00:06:08,897 Speaker 2: it judges. Okay, he's not. Here's I don't order and 114 00:06:08,937 --> 00:06:12,857 Speaker 2: remove the upsent you. Here's the problem this administration. Even 115 00:06:12,897 --> 00:06:14,977 Speaker 2: though all Hondro and my orchids will sit in front 116 00:06:15,017 --> 00:06:18,177 Speaker 2: of Congress and say under all, for those who don't 117 00:06:18,457 --> 00:06:23,497 Speaker 2: qualify for asylum, they'll be immediately removed. No, not, Ice 118 00:06:23,577 --> 00:06:25,537 Speaker 2: isn't even looking for him. I got a lot of 119 00:06:25,537 --> 00:06:28,017 Speaker 2: friends in icy Aca used to run they're not even 120 00:06:28,057 --> 00:06:30,417 Speaker 2: looking for him to the Department, and Homeland Security told 121 00:06:30,457 --> 00:06:32,817 Speaker 2: them not to look form because remember second term of 122 00:06:32,817 --> 00:06:35,937 Speaker 2: my orches is on record and the ICE priorities. It's 123 00:06:35,977 --> 00:06:40,137 Speaker 2: in writing telling Nice that being in the country illegally 124 00:06:41,097 --> 00:06:44,377 Speaker 2: on its own isn't enough for ICE to target anybody 125 00:06:44,417 --> 00:06:46,457 Speaker 2: for rest. They have to be convicted of a serious 126 00:06:46,457 --> 00:06:49,937 Speaker 2: aggravated felony or they got to be a national security threat. 127 00:06:50,217 --> 00:06:52,817 Speaker 2: So even though they should be rounded up and removed, 128 00:06:53,457 --> 00:06:55,537 Speaker 2: no one's looking for him under this administration. But I 129 00:06:55,537 --> 00:06:59,057 Speaker 2: promise you this, under an extra trunk administration, they'll be 130 00:06:59,417 --> 00:07:02,697 Speaker 2: located deported as required by the courts. 131 00:07:03,297 --> 00:07:06,257 Speaker 1: Let's I want to talk about deportation and the logistics 132 00:07:06,257 --> 00:07:09,177 Speaker 1: and the possibilities on that tom But hold up for 133 00:07:09,217 --> 00:07:14,017 Speaker 1: one second, because with the world favoring online investing, stock markets, 134 00:07:14,017 --> 00:07:17,697 Speaker 1: and cryptocurrencies, it almost seems archaic to some people to 135 00:07:17,737 --> 00:07:20,817 Speaker 1: look at tangible assets real things. But you want to 136 00:07:20,817 --> 00:07:24,257 Speaker 1: be ahead of the herd, not following it. Because we 137 00:07:24,337 --> 00:07:27,097 Speaker 1: barely even carry cash nowadays. So why would it be 138 00:07:27,097 --> 00:07:30,457 Speaker 1: a good idea to invest in something physical? Right, Because 139 00:07:31,057 --> 00:07:34,537 Speaker 1: look at history, look at what happens. Gold and other 140 00:07:34,577 --> 00:07:38,377 Speaker 1: precious metals have been a sound investment for banks, governments, businesses, 141 00:07:38,377 --> 00:07:41,897 Speaker 1: and individuals for decades, for centuries. Even There are some 142 00:07:42,057 --> 00:07:44,937 Speaker 1: very clear reasons why. Primary advantage of adding gold to 143 00:07:44,977 --> 00:07:48,697 Speaker 1: your portfolio is its stability. Gold is also a nice 144 00:07:48,737 --> 00:07:52,177 Speaker 1: hedge against inflation, meaning a good defense against your cash 145 00:07:52,177 --> 00:07:55,417 Speaker 1: getting eaten up by inflation. One popular advantage of investing 146 00:07:55,417 --> 00:07:57,377 Speaker 1: in gold is nobody knows you have it. Unless you 147 00:07:57,497 --> 00:08:00,697 Speaker 1: tell them, and the unlikely event of any massive financial crisis, 148 00:08:00,697 --> 00:08:03,897 Speaker 1: you can use your gold as currency.

Okay, Tom, So, 154 00:08:22,817 --> 00:08:27,057 Speaker 1: how many people could Trump coming into office in twenty 155 00:08:27,097 --> 00:08:31,017 Speaker 1: twenty five actually deport? You think in year one and 156 00:08:31,057 --> 00:08:33,897 Speaker 1: what would those resources and what would that program look like? 157 00:08:36,017 --> 00:08:38,817 Speaker 2: Well, how many can we deport? It depends on a 158 00:08:38,937 --> 00:08:42,017 Speaker 2: number of factors. Number one, what other resources? How many 159 00:08:42,017 --> 00:08:45,377 Speaker 2: officers do we have? And we'll bring officers from other 160 00:08:45,977 --> 00:08:50,657 Speaker 2: agencies to assist. Also, when we have the detention beds, 161 00:08:50,857 --> 00:08:52,697 Speaker 2: I mean, Congress is won't have to give us massive 162 00:08:52,697 --> 00:08:56,097 Speaker 2: amounts of detention beds. And right now Ice is captured 163 00:08:56,177 --> 00:08:59,297 Speaker 2: thirty four thousand, that's nowhere is near the number of 164 00:08:59,377 --> 00:09:02,657 Speaker 2: detention beds we would need. So and to rest somebody, 165 00:09:02,737 --> 00:09:05,497 Speaker 2: you guide detained them temporarily to get travel documents. Well, 166 00:09:05,537 --> 00:09:08,897 Speaker 2: people don't understand, we just can't put a plane full 167 00:09:08,937 --> 00:09:12,577 Speaker 2: of Ethiopians on an airplane has been order to remove 168 00:09:12,657 --> 00:09:15,177 Speaker 2: and just take Ethiopia. There's a process we have to 169 00:09:15,217 --> 00:09:17,297 Speaker 2: go through. If you have to contact the country, they 170 00:09:17,337 --> 00:09:19,297 Speaker 2: have to agree to accept them. Then they got to 171 00:09:19,337 --> 00:09:21,537 Speaker 2: send you travel documents and that takes that takes, you know, 172 00:09:21,617 --> 00:09:25,697 Speaker 2: several days to several weeks. So we need detention assets. 173 00:09:25,897 --> 00:09:28,457 Speaker 2: So how many tension beds won't have So it all 174 00:09:28,497 --> 00:09:30,937 Speaker 2: depends on the resources were given. But I tell you 175 00:09:30,977 --> 00:09:32,657 Speaker 2: this one thing, one thing I'm going to push in 176 00:09:32,697 --> 00:09:36,577 Speaker 2: the next next administration, is this either legislation or executive 177 00:09:36,657 --> 00:09:41,537 Speaker 2: order that clearly says this, if have to do process, 178 00:09:41,577 --> 00:09:44,977 Speaker 2: you've been removed, order removed by federal judge, and you 179 00:09:45,017 --> 00:09:50,057 Speaker 2: don't leave, you will never qualify for another immigration benefit 180 00:09:50,057 --> 00:09:52,337 Speaker 2: in the rest of your life. A lot of people, 181 00:09:52,417 --> 00:09:55,017 Speaker 2: if that was actually a law that was actually in effact, 182 00:09:55,017 --> 00:09:56,577 Speaker 2: a lot of people would leave run the wrong. Let 183 00:09:56,577 --> 00:09:59,097 Speaker 2: me tell you why. At the first things they do 184 00:09:59,177 --> 00:10:00,897 Speaker 2: in the gear, a lot of them have US citizen kids. 185 00:10:01,057 --> 00:10:04,137 Speaker 2: Those US citizen kids can petition for them. Someday. There's 186 00:10:04,137 --> 00:10:06,977 Speaker 2: also going to be work authorization, work visas. There'll be 187 00:10:07,017 --> 00:10:09,337 Speaker 2: all sorts of visa program if they can qualify for it, 188 00:10:09,377 --> 00:10:12,377 Speaker 2: that come in lead. But if you did defy a 189 00:10:12,417 --> 00:10:15,417 Speaker 2: court order and you and you say you're never going 190 00:10:15,457 --> 00:10:19,137 Speaker 2: to qualify for work alterization, a visa, or any immigration 191 00:10:19,257 --> 00:10:21,457 Speaker 2: benefit as long as you live, a lot of people 192 00:10:21,457 --> 00:10:25,057 Speaker 2: will leave because those US citizen kids someday will petition 193 00:10:25,137 --> 00:10:27,017 Speaker 2: for those parents. So I think that would have a 194 00:10:27,057 --> 00:10:29,217 Speaker 2: big help when people are actually leaving, because right now 195 00:10:29,337 --> 00:10:32,617 Speaker 2: there's no penalty. You don't leave. You hide out long enough, 196 00:10:32,857 --> 00:10:35,737 Speaker 2: become a fugitive, and sooner or later we're gonna give 197 00:10:35,777 --> 00:10:37,937 Speaker 2: you something. Sooner or later, we're gonna have an ambassy 198 00:10:37,937 --> 00:10:40,897 Speaker 2: program or sooner like the four hundred and forty thousand 199 00:10:40,977 --> 00:10:43,537 Speaker 2: kids you just came across the border under Biden, that's 200 00:10:43,577 --> 00:10:46,297 Speaker 2: your next docka population because this country is shown over 201 00:10:46,337 --> 00:10:49,897 Speaker 2: and over again, if you hide out long enough, we'll 202 00:10:49,897 --> 00:10:52,337 Speaker 2: give you something. So that's got to end, and we 203 00:10:52,417 --> 00:10:52,737 Speaker 2: got you. 204 00:10:53,377 --> 00:10:54,937 Speaker 1: How do you stop it? I mean you said, you 205 00:10:54,977 --> 00:10:55,937 Speaker 1: said that's got to end. 206 00:10:55,937 --> 00:10:56,137 Speaker 2: Tom. 207 00:10:56,337 --> 00:10:58,897 Speaker 1: How would you actually secure the border? How would you 208 00:10:58,937 --> 00:10:59,377 Speaker 1: stop this? 209 00:11:02,377 --> 00:11:04,097 Speaker 2: I'm sorry I stepped on what you said. 210 00:11:04,657 --> 00:11:07,697 Speaker 1: I said, how how would you actually stop this? How 211 00:11:07,737 --> 00:11:10,457 Speaker 1: would you secure the border. If Trump brought you into 212 00:11:10,497 --> 00:11:13,577 Speaker 1: a room and said, whatever resources you need, whatever personnel 213 00:11:13,617 --> 00:11:16,937 Speaker 1: you want, whatever executive orders I have to sign, we're 214 00:11:16,977 --> 00:11:20,057 Speaker 1: getting this thing under control and we're stopping the illegal flow. 215 00:11:20,377 --> 00:11:21,297 Speaker 1: How do you do it. 216 00:11:22,897 --> 00:11:26,497 Speaker 2: And catching release immediately, no one gets released, and you 217 00:11:26,617 --> 00:11:28,897 Speaker 2: return them as fast as you can return. You sign 218 00:11:29,057 --> 00:11:31,577 Speaker 2: a third safe country agreements that we alreays so we're affected. 219 00:11:31,777 --> 00:11:34,017 Speaker 2: You do to remain in Mexico program, which we've proven 220 00:11:34,057 --> 00:11:37,977 Speaker 2: that's affected. You continue building the wall, which we proved's effective. 221 00:11:38,097 --> 00:11:40,017 Speaker 2: Where are they coming through right now where there's not 222 00:11:40,097 --> 00:11:42,777 Speaker 2: a wall or they damage you will? Then we called 223 00:11:42,817 --> 00:11:44,817 Speaker 2: mex from Mexico have to put military in the southern 224 00:11:44,897 --> 00:11:48,177 Speaker 2: northern border. They have to enforce all immigration laws, Mexico 225 00:11:48,417 --> 00:11:50,937 Speaker 2: law in Mexico to smuggle people, it's against the law 226 00:11:50,977 --> 00:11:53,937 Speaker 2: of Mexico to trafficking women and children. It's against a 227 00:11:53,977 --> 00:11:56,577 Speaker 2: law in mexicield for any national in any other country 228 00:11:56,657 --> 00:12:00,377 Speaker 2: travel through Mexico with all the transit visa. So you know, 229 00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:03,777 Speaker 2: they have to enforce our immigration law. Then finally, we 230 00:12:04,417 --> 00:12:07,297 Speaker 2: have several executive orders like I just discussed, but we 231 00:12:07,417 --> 00:12:09,657 Speaker 2: need to stop catching release right now. The whole world 232 00:12:09,697 --> 00:12:12,377 Speaker 2: knows come to our border and you turn yourselves into 233 00:12:12,497 --> 00:12:15,177 Speaker 2: orbitual agent. You're gonna be released in twenty four hours. 234 00:12:15,297 --> 00:12:17,137 Speaker 2: You're gonna get a free plane ticket to the city 235 00:12:17,217 --> 00:12:19,697 Speaker 2: your choice. You're gonna get work alterization, you're gonna get 236 00:12:19,697 --> 00:12:21,817 Speaker 2: a hotel room. You're gonna get three spurs a day, 237 00:12:21,817 --> 00:12:24,417 Speaker 2: and medical attention. Who the hell wouldn't count. So that's 238 00:12:24,417 --> 00:12:26,577 Speaker 2: where we need to stop and catching leads. Put the 239 00:12:26,577 --> 00:12:29,217 Speaker 2: Trump policies back from place we're already proven their effective, 240 00:12:29,337 --> 00:12:33,337 Speaker 2: and let us finish the job and hold other countries accountable. Mexico, 241 00:12:33,577 --> 00:12:36,617 Speaker 2: if you don't step up, we'll take every dollar international 242 00:12:36,657 --> 00:12:38,817 Speaker 2: aid away from you, and we'll tear the hell out 243 00:12:38,857 --> 00:12:40,537 Speaker 2: of all your products coming through the port of entries. 244 00:12:40,697 --> 00:12:43,057 Speaker 2: They didn't need us more than we need them. That's 245 00:12:43,057 --> 00:12:45,057 Speaker 2: what President Trump did. I was in the overlaps when 246 00:12:45,057 --> 00:12:47,857 Speaker 2: he called the three Central American countries and said that 247 00:12:47,897 --> 00:12:50,137 Speaker 2: you're gonna pay in a third Safe country agreement, and 248 00:12:50,177 --> 00:12:53,097 Speaker 2: if you don't, I'm pulling every dollar international aid away. 249 00:12:53,497 --> 00:12:55,617 Speaker 2: Trump was breathed, what have we done in the past. 250 00:12:55,657 --> 00:12:57,697 Speaker 2: I've told him, we give millions and millions of dollars 251 00:12:57,857 --> 00:13:01,017 Speaker 2: to these countries. They can create opportunity zones so people 252 00:13:01,057 --> 00:13:03,497 Speaker 2: don't have to leave their country. And when he asked 253 00:13:03,497 --> 00:13:06,417 Speaker 2: me how that work, it doesn't work because money never 254 00:13:06,417 --> 00:13:09,697 Speaker 2: gets worth supposed to get. Countries are corrupt, he says, 255 00:13:09,697 --> 00:13:11,737 Speaker 2: w I'm you so different. I'm not going to give 256 00:13:11,737 --> 00:13:13,657 Speaker 2: them a dollar. Matter of fact, I'll take money away. 257 00:13:14,137 --> 00:13:17,097 Speaker 2: And it worked. The threat a loser International aid work. 258 00:13:17,297 --> 00:13:18,817 Speaker 2: So that's what we got to do. Hold the country's 259 00:13:18,817 --> 00:13:22,017 Speaker 2: account or or have some sort of consequence when they 260 00:13:22,017 --> 00:13:22,657 Speaker 2: don't assist. 261 00:13:22,977 --> 00:13:24,537 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the cartel side of 262 00:13:24,537 --> 00:13:26,537 Speaker 1: this here in a second time.

Tom, how easy is it 287 00:14:41,377 --> 00:14:44,177 Speaker 1: right now for the cartels to get whatever they want 288 00:14:44,297 --> 00:14:47,537 Speaker 1: people drugs across the border. I mean, let's start with 289 00:14:47,577 --> 00:14:50,177 Speaker 1: the narcotic side of this. I've got to assume that, 290 00:14:50,257 --> 00:14:54,417 Speaker 1: given the the stresses on border patrol manpower, that there's 291 00:14:54,817 --> 00:14:58,057 Speaker 1: more fentanyl and other opioids flowing across the border than 292 00:14:58,057 --> 00:15:00,057 Speaker 1: maybe at any time in our history. 293 00:15:01,977 --> 00:15:04,777 Speaker 2: Exactly right. It's out of coincidence in the three years 294 00:15:04,817 --> 00:15:07,777 Speaker 2: of historic living migration that's overwhelmed and boarder job that 295 00:15:07,977 --> 00:15:12,217 Speaker 2: we have historic fentanyl overdose US. If the cartels have 296 00:15:12,217 --> 00:15:14,977 Speaker 2: have operational control or a southern border, think about that 297 00:15:14,977 --> 00:15:18,137 Speaker 2: for a moment. The most powerful nation in the world 298 00:15:18,697 --> 00:15:21,337 Speaker 2: doesn't have operational control of the border. Comical cartels in 299 00:15:21,377 --> 00:15:24,097 Speaker 2: Mexico do, and they prove it every day. They decide 300 00:15:24,137 --> 00:15:27,057 Speaker 2: what comes in, where it comes in, and what comes in. 301 00:15:27,297 --> 00:15:29,657 Speaker 2: And I thought to several borderatrol the chiefs that say 302 00:15:29,697 --> 00:15:33,377 Speaker 2: it they was coming through. One chief patrolly can use 303 00:15:33,417 --> 00:15:35,737 Speaker 2: the term broken arrow. He says, I'm overwhelmed. I'm lucky 304 00:15:35,777 --> 00:15:38,257 Speaker 2: if I'm catchuring ten percent. And here's what American people 305 00:15:38,297 --> 00:15:40,417 Speaker 2: need to know. When you create a crisis this big, 306 00:15:40,457 --> 00:15:43,857 Speaker 2: where millions of people are crossing. On the average, on 307 00:15:43,897 --> 00:15:46,937 Speaker 2: an average day, seventy to ninety percent of agents are 308 00:15:47,017 --> 00:15:50,777 Speaker 2: pulled off the line, off patrol to process, change diapers, 309 00:15:50,777 --> 00:15:53,977 Speaker 2: make baby for them, make air programs whatever. At least 310 00:15:54,017 --> 00:15:57,297 Speaker 2: thirty to ten percent of agents up the line patrol. 311 00:15:57,617 --> 00:16:01,337 Speaker 2: This past year, there was over a dozen times an 312 00:16:01,377 --> 00:16:05,657 Speaker 2: a go pass sector EuMA sector, our Passo sector where 313 00:16:05,657 --> 00:16:09,497 Speaker 2: they pulled every single agent off the line. One hundred 314 00:16:09,497 --> 00:16:12,857 Speaker 2: percent one under set patrols are pulled in the process. 315 00:16:14,017 --> 00:16:16,257 Speaker 2: You don't think the criminal cartels had to feel there 316 00:16:16,257 --> 00:16:19,017 Speaker 2: with that. When there's no enforcement, where there's only thirty 317 00:16:19,177 --> 00:16:22,457 Speaker 2: or ten percent left, that's when they move the fatanyl. 318 00:16:22,577 --> 00:16:25,177 Speaker 2: That's when they traffick the women and children. That's when 319 00:16:25,377 --> 00:16:28,377 Speaker 2: they're going to move the criminals and the no suspected 320 00:16:28,457 --> 00:16:30,297 Speaker 2: terrorists that don't want to turn the cell phone then 321 00:16:30,377 --> 00:16:32,977 Speaker 2: don't want to be vetted. That's when it happens. The 322 00:16:33,057 --> 00:16:35,537 Speaker 2: criminal cartels will push a large gip with two hundred 323 00:16:35,537 --> 00:16:38,617 Speaker 2: people through one area, overwhelming what's left on the border 324 00:16:38,937 --> 00:16:41,577 Speaker 2: borbetual agents and that's when they moved all the other 325 00:16:41,617 --> 00:16:44,057 Speaker 2: bad things. And I testified two weeks ago in front 326 00:16:44,097 --> 00:16:46,457 Speaker 2: of Congress, and you've got Democrats keep saying, well, most 327 00:16:46,457 --> 00:16:49,177 Speaker 2: of the fatanyls smuggled through the port of entry.
