<v Speaker 1>accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>never return. But if you register using our CBP home

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>border and families will be protected.

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 3>There's the importance of having credit at a young age.

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Like you said, one of those factors is the credit age, right,

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 3>and so if we're getting credit at twenty twenty three

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 3>years old, we've missed some years that we actually could

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 3>have to talk about the importance of establishing credit at

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 3>a younger age, maybe talk about authorized users and things

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 3>like that.

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:22.199
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, So for the parents out there, I recommend every parent,

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 5>if you can, if you have a credit card that

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 5>you know you're not going to you know, pay later

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 5>or whatever, and with good history, I recommend to add

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 5>your child at no later than seventeen.

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 5>Now, if your child is eighteen, obviously you can add them.

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 5>But adding your child from the ages of sixteen through

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 5>seventeen will set them up for when they turn eighteen,

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 5>they'll already have an established credit profile. Most people don't

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 5>realize that you do not have a FYCO score just

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 5>because you turned eighteen. You have to have six months

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 5>of credit history with at least two accounts before FICO

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 5>will issue.

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 4>You a credit score.

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 5>Right, So, as opposed to just starting at eighteen and

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 5>building your own credit, if you have a parent, a

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 5>responsible parent that will put you on their credit card

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 5>prior at least six months prior to your eighteenth birthday,

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 5>you'll already start off, you know, a little ahead of

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 5>the pack, right, so, as opposed to getting those entry

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 5>level credit cards. Sometimes you can get quality offers because

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.519
<v Speaker 5>it's really easy to get a seven hundred credit score,

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.079
<v Speaker 5>especially if you have no collections or you haven't messed

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 5>up your credit yet, it is super easy to get

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 5>seven hundred. So adding, if you have the opportunity to

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 5>be an authorized user on a family member's card and

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 5>if you share an address with them, it's better because

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 5>nowadays the anti abuse laws affects out effects trade lines

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 5>authorized users, and so if you have the same address

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 5>or the same last name, you'll be more credited for

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.079
<v Speaker 5>those accounts right or for the yeah, for the authorized

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 5>user accounts setting once you turn eighteen though, because this

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 5>is the mistake a lot of parents make. They'll put

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 5>their child on their credit card at like fifteen, sixteen, whatever,

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 5>and then whenever they turn eighteen, the child will have

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 5>like a seven hundred credit score, and as opposed to

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.920
<v Speaker 5>making the child or having the child apply for their

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 5>own accounts, they just kind of lean on lian on

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 5>mom's card or mom's credit history and think that it's

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 5>going to take them far. And that's where they run

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 5>into the situation of having a high credit score but

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 5>not a lot of credit, not a worthy credit credit

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.360
<v Speaker 5>borrow wing right, So you need to make sure that

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 5>when that child turns it turns eighteen. Like on my

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 5>children on their eighteenth birthday, we're going to be applying

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 5>for a credit card on their eighteen birthday. Because the earlier,

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 5>the earlier, the better. Apply for a credit card. Please

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 5>apply for a credit card before a student loan. That's

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 5>just like a side note, that's one of the things,

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 5>that's one of the mistakes that I wish that I

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 5>can catch with a lot of people. Having a credit

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 5>card be your first established account. Your credit age is

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 5>going to be reliant on that account. The great thing

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 5>about credit cards is they can be open forever. Like

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 5>there is no end date to a credit card unless

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 5>you choose to close the card or the bank chooses

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 5>to close the car. Whereas a loan, every loan has

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 5>a term date. Every loan will end eventually. So when

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 5>your credit age is based on a loan, once that

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 5>once that account closes, yeah, yeah, your credit is going.

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 4>To be affected drastically.

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 5>Right. So if you have your first established account as

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 5>a credit card, that's sort of like a safety blanket

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 5>for your credit age. And so make sure at eighteen

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 5>apply for a card. It could be a It can

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 5>be a secure card, it can be a subprime card. Whatever.

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.919
<v Speaker 5>Apply for a credit card and then start to build

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 5>your own credit history because authorized users can only take

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 5>you so far, and not very far.

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Nowadays, it's a quick fall.

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 3>Because you did bring up closing cards, and I know

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people as they're trying to fix their

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 3>credit like, all right, well I paid it off, let

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 3>me close it. About how that could negatively affect.

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it could.

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 5>My rule of thumb when it comes to closing credit

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 5>cards is if you have if the credit card has

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 5>an annual fee and you're not getting any increases and

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 5>the it's just not worth it to keep it. There

0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 5>will be there will come a time where you'll probably

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 5>want to close that card. When you close that card

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:03.039
<v Speaker 5>is super important.

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 4>Number one.

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 5>If you are applying for anything, any large purchase like

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 5>a car or home within the next six months, it's

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 5>not the time to close that card.

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 4>Close it after you get your car, your home, whatever.

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 5>The only time I would suggest you closing the credit

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 5>card is if you if you know, like I said,

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 5>six months free of any applications, and also make sure

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.359
<v Speaker 5>that you have another card before you close that card,

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 5>Like do not like I see people all the time

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 5>like I just hate this card, I want to close it, etc.

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.799
<v Speaker 5>And it's just like that's going to do more harm

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 5>than good. I have a two hundred dollars Capital one

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 5>card that I've had since college. That card is still open.

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 5>I haven't gotten an increase in years. I don't even

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 5>care to use the card. I keep it open. Specifically

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 5>because credit age. An aged credit card is the most

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 5>beneficial thing that you can have on your credit report,

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 5>that like the most and it's one of those things

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 5>that's like the gift that never never stops giving because

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 5>every single three to six months that a car ages,

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 5>it's going to add more to your credit and also

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 5>your fical points. So keep that in mind.

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 3>So don't earners, what's up. You ever walk into a

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.880

<v Speaker 1>to return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump,

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 1>America's laws, border and families will be protected.

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security, I'll.

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.080
<v Speaker 5>Close the car, and unless you have to, if you

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 5>have a car that you don't use, put a subscription

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 5>on it. I have Netflix, like use one, use pick

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.959
<v Speaker 5>one of your subscriptions that you probably have coming out

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 5>of your bank account. Assign those to each of you know,

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 5>each of your credit cards so that it can have usage,

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 5>so the bank will not close it due to non usage.

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 2>So what about putting your child on the credit card?

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 4>Yes, as a child, Yeah, for I.

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 5>So the one of the things that people think that

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 5>makes some difference is if they add their child at

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 5>like twelve or thirteen. That doesn't make it regardless if

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 5>you add your child at twelve or if you add

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 5>them at seventeen, it will not make a difference in

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 5>terms of the effect that it will have on their

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 5>credit reports.

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 4>That's a misconception.

0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 5>However, me personally, I would suggest, like I said, adding

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 5>your child at like seventeen when you when someone asks

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.439
<v Speaker 5>their child at thirteen, to me, it just that's a

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:51.439
<v Speaker 5>that's that's what seven years seven eight years until they

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.200
<v Speaker 5>turn eighteen, and that's a lot of room. It leaves

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:55.839
<v Speaker 5>a lot of room open for a mistake. What happens

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 5>if you get a lay payment on their card, and

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.560
<v Speaker 5>now your child's credit will be a f before they

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 5>can even establish credit. So we never know what can happen, right,

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 5>so I just for I just recommend, like I'll personally,

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 5>I'm adding my children at one day turn seventeen. As

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 5>long as you have six months before they turn eighteen,

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:14.319
<v Speaker 5>they're fine.

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 3>I was a beneficiary of that, so I was added

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 3>to my mom's I told the story before, but I

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 3>was added to my mom's American Express card at six seventeen.

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 3>And so now even when I get the cards, it'll

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.559
<v Speaker 3>say members since eighty five, even though I was born

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 3>in eighty two, but my credit history goes back that far,

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 3>so it's over thirty seven years. So every time I

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 3>get a new card, it gets averaged into that. Yeah,

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 3>so I think when I mean that's a blessing, it

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 3>was a blessing, and that it's still a blessing. Actually

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.440
<v Speaker 3>I still have the card because I just want that

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 3>history because sure that thirty seven years plus a one

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 3>they average, it makes it like sixteen years of credit age.

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 3>So I'm like that works perfectly.

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 5>In American Express is a huge relation bank like indeed,

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 5>man having a long stand of relationship with them, you

0:10:58.400 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 5>can get anything.

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 2>This is true.

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 3>But we talked about the number seven hundred, and it's key,

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 3>and I don't want people to you know, some people

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 3>may not have seven hundred, but it feels like that's

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 3>the goal. But there are people like, what are the

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 3>numbers that in the range that people should be trying

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.319
<v Speaker 3>to get to seven hundred.

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Seven to fifty? I know we got some eight fifties

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 2>out there.

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.079
<v Speaker 5>So I'm a little different when it comes to credit scores, right,

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 5>because I know the scoring model and how much your

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 5>credit profile matters. Most people don't believe me when I

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 5>say I had over one hundred thousand dollars in credit

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 5>card limits before my score was seven hundred, right, And

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 5>it was simply because I learned how to set up

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 5>my credit profile that will that far past my credit score.

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 5>There's a lot of time there's a lot of people

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 5>who have over seven hundred and still can't get approved

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 5>for over ten thousand dollars twenty thousand dollars right because

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 5>their borring power does not match their score. So I

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.960
<v Speaker 5>don't ever recommend a specific score. What I will say is,

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 5>like I always say, a healthy profile will translate if

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.840
<v Speaker 5>you people need to focus on their credit profile more,

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.800
<v Speaker 5>meaning making sure you don't have any lay payments. If

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 5>you do have lay payments, try to rectify those. If

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 5>you have collections, try to try to rectify all of

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 5>your credit issues.

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 4>Make sure that you have at least.

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 5>Four accounts open at all times, like after you begin

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 5>to build credit. There should never be a time where

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 5>your credit profile goes below three open account or goes

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 5>below four open accounts any time. Regardless, you can have

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 5>an eight hundred credit score. If you do not have

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.319
<v Speaker 5>at least four accounts open, any application that you do,

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 5>you're going to get what's called an empty profile penalty, right,

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 5>and we don't see this as consumers.

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 4>We can't see this on our credit score or our

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 4>credit report.

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 5>However, when it comes to lenders and how our credit

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 5>reports are assigned and how they translate over to their system,

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 5>if you have less than three accounts open, four accounts open,

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 5>then regardless of your score, you automatically penalize. You're automatically

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 5>moved moved down to a lower tier of borrowing power,

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.240
<v Speaker 5>multiple tiers rather, So that's going to be more important.

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:12.199
<v Speaker 5>Making sure you're not applying for a let's just say

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 5>an American Express card if you have just opened up

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 5>two other credit cards in the last six months, right,

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 5>So those are the things that.

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 4>Speaks more to like your approval.

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 5>Now when it comes to score, if I had to say,

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 5>I would say six.

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 4>Eighty and above.

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 5>You pretty much with a healthy profile, you pretty much

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 5>can get anything since eight six eighty and it's super

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 5>And the thing is, it's so And I know this

0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 5>probably sounds far fetched to a lot of.

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 4>People, but it's so easy to get a six eighty.

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 5>Like I actually tell people, if you don't have at

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 5>least a six fifty, then usually one of three things

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 5>are the case you had a recent collection within eighteen months,

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 5>a recent aid payment within twenty four months, or you

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 5>have high utilization, Because as long as you don't have those,

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.320
<v Speaker 5>you at least you should at least have a six fifty,

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 5>just in terms of how your credit scores, how our

0:13:58.480 --> 0:13:59.679
<v Speaker 5>credit scores are allotted.

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 1>An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 1>accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 1>filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 1>some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
