1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: On this episode of neut World. Within one hundred days, 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to send the United States Congress a pathway 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: to citizenship for over eleven million undocumented people, and all 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: of those so called dreamers, those docket kids, They're going 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: to be immediately certified again to be able to stay 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: in this country. Biden also signed a florry of immigration 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: executive orders and his first few days in office, including 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: a one hundred day freeze on deportations, ending the Remain 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: in Mexico policy, repealing the travel ban affecting some Muslim 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: majority countries, reinstating DOCA protections, and halting border wall construction. 11 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: We have always presented ourselves as being a nation of 12 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: strength with strong arms that when people are fleeing harm, 13 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: we will embrace them. A new vision for the country, 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: a pro immigrant vision for America, and one that inheeds 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: putting the eleven million community members that we have that 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: currently are not yet citizens, putting want to pass a 17 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: c incident. HI, this is new due to the virus. 18 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm recording from home, so you may notice a difference 19 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: in audio quality. How has border security changed under President? 20 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: But we've already seen a caravan of Honduran's heading north 21 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: towards the US border and a member from Acting Secretary 22 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security David Plukovski. Day January twentieth, a one 23 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: hundred day deportation pause has been put into place, and 24 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: shortly after being sworn in, President Biden revoked former President 25 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: Trump's emergency Declaration, which helped fund the construction of the border. 26 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: Here to help us understand the changes being made to 27 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: US immigration policies and border prediction, his former Indiana Congressman 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: John Hasta, who currently oversees right on immigration as Vice 29 00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: president of Federal Affairs at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. John, welcome, 30 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: Thank you for joining me to talk about the impact 31 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: these changes will have, because it's I think much bigger 32 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: than anybody understands, and certainly much bigger than the news 33 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: media wants to cover. Would you let's start with the 34 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: caravan and Honduras, which I understand there's now a second 35 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: caravan being formed, and you you need to describe how 36 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: many people are we talking about and why are they 37 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: all simultaneously deciding to come to the US. Well, the 38 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: numbers vary on the Honduran caravan, you know, five thousand 39 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: to ten thousand, but as they are being stopped along 40 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: the way, and some of their progress is impeded. They're 41 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: breaking up. What we're hearing is that some are being 42 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,119 Speaker 1: stopped and in some cases violently so, but the large 43 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: group is fracturing into smaller groups, and they're attempting to 44 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: make their way around the military and local law enforcement 45 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: obstacle that they have. So while there are some reports 46 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: that the caravan is slowing down, it's likely that many 47 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: of them will make their way here in smaller pieces 48 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: because they've essentially been told by the United States government, 49 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: by the Biden administration specifically that if they make it here, 50 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: then given the changes in policy with regard to asylum 51 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: claims a recent district court ruling with regard to expansion 52 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: of traditional qualifications to claim asylum, that there are all 53 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: types of ways that if they can make it here, 54 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: that they'll be able to stay here. And so that's 55 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: what's motivating them to come. Is not just one thing 56 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: that the Biden administration has done in the first week, 57 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: but actually several of them with regard to memos and 58 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: executive orders and the like, but also promises of more 59 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: to come. Do you think dibiding people with any idea 60 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: of the scale of response they're going to get from 61 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: people around the world where they began to explain it 62 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: essentially an open borders policy. Well, that's a great question, 63 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: because I believe they do. They're trying their best to 64 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: limit the situation. For example, if you read the DHS 65 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: statement on the suspension of new enrollments in the Migrant 66 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: Protection Protocols Program, otherwise known as the Remain in Mexico policy, 67 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: it's interesting that they say that no more enrollments, meaning 68 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: individuals who come here from a country other than Mexico 69 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: and seek asylum will not be sent to Mexico under 70 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: the agreement previously made by the Trump administration. So they 71 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: made that announcement, but at the end of the announcement, 72 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: in noting that the Bide administration has sent over proposed 73 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: legislation to Congress on comprehensive immigration reform, they said this 74 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: at the end of their quote, Please note, individuals outside 75 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: of the United States will not be eligible for legal 76 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: status under the bill President Biden sent to Congress today. 77 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: The legalization provision in that bill apply only to people 78 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: already living in the United States. End quote. So to 79 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: answer your question, yes, they do know that this is 80 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: having a significant impact on the world around US, and 81 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: especially south of the US southern border. And they're trying 82 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: their best to tell the world, at least ostensibly that 83 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: this is going to be a controlled situation. But it's 84 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: not going to be. Yeah, as they said, nothing in 85 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: our history would indicate the once people believe you're going 86 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: to be soft on enforcement, that you're not just going 87 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,559 Speaker 1: to have a wave of people who legitimately decide life 88 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: in the US is better than life in their home country, 89 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, Biden, And it is one hundred day deportation 90 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: pause on his very first day in office. So I 91 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: assume it was very high value to them to move 92 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: so quickly, and he said, quote, I'm directing an immediate 93 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: pause and removals of any non citizen with a final 94 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: order of removal except as not a blow for one 95 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: hundred days, to go into effect as soon as practical 96 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: and know later than January twenty second. Now what did 97 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: that mean. What's the practical effect of a one hundred 98 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: day pause. Well, it's one more message to folks, especially 99 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: south of the border, that if you get here within 100 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: the next one hundred days, you will not be deported. 101 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: And you combine that with the termination of the Remain 102 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: in Mexico policy, and you combine that with the Federal 103 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: District Court judge's effective expansion of qualification under our asylum laws, 104 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: then there are so many means. And this gets communicated 105 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: through the smuggling networks. The coyotes, the human traffickers, you know, 106 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: they understand what's going on in the US and this 107 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: new administration probably better than any of it. It's their livelihood, 108 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: it's the only thing they do. And we know as 109 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: a result of testimony from folks at CBP and DHS 110 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: that human trafficking, human smuggling is bringing in at least 111 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: as much money as the drug smuggling. So all of 112 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: these things are being taken note of by the human smugglers, 113 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: and there's going to be and it's very sophisticated, and 114 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: there's going to be a program whereby get to the 115 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: United States claim asylum, you're not going to be deported. 116 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: And Texas is running into this in that with no deportations, 117 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: then there's just going to be a significant decrease in 118 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: capacity of their Texas holding facilities. Because about eighteen counties 119 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,119 Speaker 1: in Texas have an agreement with ICE two eighty seven 120 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: g agreement is what it's called to help enforce immigration laws, 121 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: so you have a spectrum of possibilities to cause payoffs 122 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: on the border. You know, I thought it was very 123 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: striking that some of you said in passing. I think 124 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: we would take a minute to talk about there is 125 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: an entire industry of getting people into the United States, 126 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: and you have relatively smart, entrepreneurial criminals who get up 127 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: every morning figuring out how to beat the system, and 128 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: they create an entire pressure in favor of illegal immigration 129 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: on a scale that I think almost nobody here understand. 130 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: I interviewed about two years ago somebody who's based in 131 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: Central America who had done a lot of profiling and 132 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: interviewing with people like this, and he said they've gotten 133 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: so sophisticated. The several of the major drug cartels had 134 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: actually switched out of drugs into people, and that you 135 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: would get in a van and be going north, and 136 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: when the van stopped somewhere, one of the major leaders 137 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: of the cartel would drop by and say, you know, 138 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: as the food been okay, do you feel like we're 139 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: treating you pretty good? Would you be willing to tell 140 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: your friends back home they able to use US that 141 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: they want to go to the US. I mean, it 142 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: was just incredible the infrastructure that has grown up around 143 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: getting into America. Do you think anybody in the Biden 144 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: administration is aware of this? I wish I could say 145 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: that they aren't. It's just a poorly kept secret that 146 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: this is happening. Early last year, as the apprehensions on 147 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: the southern border exploded, we at TPPF initiated a Border 148 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: Security Coalition. Now I got twenty six members, several individuals, 149 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: several groups, Heritage Foundation, Freedom Works, others joined us. And 150 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: we've had significant interest in joining by folks who are 151 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: in the human trafficking sphere who are concerned about the 152 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: growth in human trafficking, which is somewhat of a subset 153 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 1: of human smuggling, but unfortunately much too large subset of that. 154 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: And so yes, whether it's getting individuals here or jobs, 155 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: or the claim that we're going to take you to 156 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: the United States for a better life, when in fact, 157 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: when they get to the United States, these children or 158 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: women are trafficked in the human slavery or sex trafficking 159 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: or the like. It is growing and it is becoming 160 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: much more profitable for the groups to do this because 161 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: of the lax approach to immigration and border security that 162 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: this administration is putting on. You know, when you try 163 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: to smuggle a significant load of drugs across then you're 164 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: going to have all types of barriers to that. You're 165 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 1: going to have the dogs, you're going to have the technology. 166 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: But when you try to smuggle people and you just 167 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: tell the people to make a claim for an asylum, 168 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: or you have a child accompanying a parent or a 169 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: family member, when in fact it's much less risky to 170 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: turn a profit in this new and growing industry. I 171 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: think it's important to remind people the level of slavery 172 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: in the world is amazing, and the United States has 173 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: a major component of it. Most of it is women 174 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: or young girls, and most of it involves prostitution or 175 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: one form or another. But it's really a big industry worldwide. 176 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: I think over a million people a year are sold 177 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: into slavery. It's very tragic and as you said, new 178 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: unfortunately it's happening in the US and it's only growing. 179 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: So I think the Biden administration will actually make it 180 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: easier for the human traffickers very much. So, like I said, 181 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: there's that benefit that there is the story. And many 182 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: times when the individual makes it to the border, they 183 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: don't know that they're being trafficked even at that time. 184 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: So when they're talking to that CBP officer or they're 185 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: having that interview, they don't know that the next person 186 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: in the link of the chain to get them to 187 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: where they think their endpoint is, that's when they'll be trafficked. 188 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: That's when the process will start wanting to get into 189 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: the United States. Part of what I was surprised by 190 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: was the degree to which the system actually runs all 191 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: the way into America. So the person I was talking 192 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: to about the cartel system points out that, you know, 193 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: you can have an uncle who works legally, say for 194 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: a hotel in Washington, who stands good for your cost, 195 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: and then when you get to the US, you know, 196 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: you basically repay your uncle with your work for having 197 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: paid the cartel to get you here. The whole system 198 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: has to be seen as a network that runs from 199 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: somewhere generally in Central America, through Mexico into the United States, 200 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: and a fair doesn't stop at the border, but the 201 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: network actually runs all the way up to almost every 202 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: major American city, right it certainly does. Unfortunately, The other 203 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: thing somebody point out to me about the decision to 204 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: suspend deportation for one hundred days is that we deport 205 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: about fifteen thousand people who either have criminal records or 206 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: have charges that would lead to a case involving criminal records, 207 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: and that in the time span of the Biden directed 208 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: there will be about forty thousand more criminal staying in 209 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: the US than would have been under the system before 210 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: Biden changing. Does that fit your general understanding? Yes, And 211 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: once again the question is where do these people stay? 212 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: And given recent decisions by the federal judiciary, can these 213 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: individuals ultimately be released as a result of COVID nineteen concerns. 214 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: So a lot of this is going to fall to 215 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: the states, and in our particular case, a lot of 216 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: it is going to fall to Texas. And these burdens 217 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: are going to be borne by the states and really 218 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: not by the federal government much at all, because once 219 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: you say we're not going to execute the removal order, 220 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: then you have all types of things that can take 221 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: place where the individual could potentially be released into the public. 222 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: The situation we find ourselves in as you have an 223 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: administration which is making it more attractive to come here illegally. 224 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: Is making it harder to keep criminals once they're caught, 225 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: and which given the various judges who issued rulings, they're 226 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: going to run out of storage space for people very quickly, 227 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: so they will literally have no place to put anybody, 228 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: and therefore we'll have to release them. I mean, is 229 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: that about accurate? That is about it? Because local law enforcement, 230 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: local facilities will have their own priorities, and with regard 231 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: to housing these individuals, they will look simply at who 232 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: are the more dangerous individuals. We have only so much room. 233 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: Some of the counties that do have the two eighty 234 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: seven g arrangements, those counties will have to decide whether 235 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: they want to continue. Generally speaking, there is someone in 236 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: their organization a deputy sheriff, for example, in a sheriff's 237 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: organization is charged with helping ice in immigration enforcement. So 238 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: that will likely go away because there's no reason to 239 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: be spending that time that effort in a process that 240 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: has no endpoint at least for one hundred day. I 241 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: think there's going to be priorities that are going to 242 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: be made on the local level, and this federal law 243 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: enforcement is going to fall by the wayside, especially as 244 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: space gets eaten up. So one of the first things 245 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: President Trump did almost exactly four years ago on January 246 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: twenty fifth, seventeen, was issueing Executive Order enhancing Public Safety 247 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: in the two of the United States. Biden promptly revoked that. 248 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: What does that change, man? Why did Trump issue it? 249 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: And what is it due to us? To Biden revoked it. 250 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: It puts a hold on resources for interior enforcement. It 251 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: most likely reduces ICE's interaction with local law enforcement. And 252 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: so what I was talking about earlier, the two eighty 253 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: seven and local law enforcement, that's a two way street. 254 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: And so with ICE diminishing its interaction with local law enforcement, 255 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: you'll have that anti motivation from the other side as well. 256 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: You have local law enforcement that sees that there's going 257 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: to be no removals, and now you have ICE that 258 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: is not taking part in the process as well. And 259 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: so the interior enforcement was mainly dealing with the removal 260 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: of individuals from the interior and with the use of 261 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: local law enforcement, and that's effectively not happening now. In 262 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: the larger scale of things, Biden is now proposing a 263 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: citizenship at twenty twenty one, which is pretty sweeping. I mean, 264 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: what would that act do. It would, first of all, 265 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: reduce the number of years necessary for a Green card 266 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: holder to get citizenship. That's the largest change that I seek, 267 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: going from five years to three years. It also looks 268 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: at the individuals who have entered the country illegally, some 269 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: numbers as low as eleven million on the low end, 270 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: twenty one million on the high end. They would be 271 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: brought out of the shadows and they could earn a 272 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: weight to legalization ultimately to a Green card, and then obviously, 273 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: after a green card, they would be able to apply 274 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: for citizenship after three years. Now, this is essentially what 275 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: happened with the nineteen eighty six Immigration Reform and Control Act, 276 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: and at that time President Reagan signed that into law 277 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: with the belief that this would essentially not be necessary again. 278 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: They were going to basically restart the clock with a 279 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: commitment to border security, and the Immigration former Control Act 280 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: of nineteen eighty six did not have a strong border 281 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: security component, but the implication is that the border would 282 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: be secure and we wouldn't need to do this again. 283 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: And there was a number of individuals that claimed to 284 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: be in the interior illegally at that time without proper documentation, 285 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: something like two and a half to three and a 286 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: half million people, and so that was the number that 287 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: was being sold to legislators at the time, when in fact, 288 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: over time it was closer to six million people gained 289 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: legal status because there was so much fraud and everything. 290 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: The problem with doing this is that the DHS announcement 291 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: that this legalization of this eleven to twenty one million 292 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: people doesn't apply to people who aren't in the country already, well, 293 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: that's just ridiculous. There's going to be so much fraud. 294 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: Individuals will be able to gain legal status who came 295 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 1: here illegally. And to your point that you made at 296 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: the very outset new is that we could say that 297 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: Urica nineteen eighty six got us to where we are 298 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: today to eleven million people once again on the low end, 299 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: that are here illegally. This will not stop this process 300 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: of people trying to get here for the next round 301 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: of amnesty that comes. The legislation also expands the number 302 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: of refugee slots being able to make available and a 303 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: host of other expansions of diversity. Visa otherwise known as 304 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: the visa lottery, will be expanded higher numbers. It's just 305 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: more expansion of immigration into the United States. I was 306 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: in Congress and voted for what was then called the 307 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: Simpson Zzoliac, which you referred to. We were told at 308 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: the time to be about three hundred thousand people, turn 309 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: out to be more than three million off factor of ten. 310 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: And Reagan's diary he writes that he has to sign 311 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: the bill because we have to get control the border 312 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: and we have to have a work permit program, neither 313 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: of which came true. So it's fascinating me back and 314 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: look at the promises that were made and the reality 315 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: that occurred. And that's one of the reasons I've always 316 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: been very cautious about this next phase. That makes perfect sense. 317 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the human desire to come to a really 318 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: good economy from a place with a really bad economy 319 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: is enormous, and if you make it possible, people are 320 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: going to get on the escalator and they're going to 321 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: ride it all the way to a different future. So 322 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: you know, it shouldn't shock us anything. But now you 323 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: are a Texas probably policy foundation, you actually went through 324 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: a simulation looking at what might happen in the early 325 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: months of a Biden administration. And you published it in 326 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: December twenty twenty in the title became Order Crisis Report. 327 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,239 Speaker 1: What did you learn? Well, we learned that all of 328 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: these pieces are going to result in a return to 329 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: the chaos that we had at the border. We had 330 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: interaction between the then majority leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, 331 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: and the President and various heads of departments, and it 332 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: wasn't that difficult to get us to where we are today, 333 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: and that is that the caravans would return, that Mexico 334 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: may in fact go back on their commitment to the border. 335 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: But now we know that they don't need to go 336 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: back on their commitment to the border because the Biden 337 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: administration is not going to allow anymore in rowles now 338 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: with regard to the remain in Mexico policy. And one 339 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: other thing we believed is that even though the Biden 340 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: administration is going to allow those that are already in 341 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: Mexico under the remain in Mexico policy who's asylum cases 342 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: are being that Mexico may in fact release them and 343 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: no longer require them to stay in Mexico. And if 344 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: they do that, then those people will come to the boarder. Now, 345 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: we didn't necessarily know about one hundred day deportation moratorium, 346 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: but that was because there was an agreement signed between 347 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security and the State of Texas 348 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: that any significant change to the enforcement of immigration laws 349 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: as they exist today would be in a one hundred 350 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: eighty day consultation with the State of Texas. That's not happening, 351 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: and that's why the Attorney General of Texas has filed 352 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 1: suit against the Biden administration to stop the hundred day moratorium. 353 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: But basically, we saw what was happening because candidate Biden 354 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: had laid it out very clearly that all of this 355 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: would take place, and he's doing exactly what he said 356 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: he was going to do, and he's doing it very soon, 357 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: very quickly. In his administration remulation implying that there would 358 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: be a significant increase in drug deaths as a result 359 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: of this kind of opening up of the border, well, yes, 360 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: it's going to allow for much more transport of product 361 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: and that will feed the demand here in the United States. 362 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: This whole notion of consistently favoring the lawbreaker over the 363 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: innocent citizen, it strikes me as a potentially disastrous effect 364 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: all the way across the system. This was not necessarily 365 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: unforeseen with the Biden campaigns essential endorsement of defund the 366 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: police movement that was taking place. Whenever one of the 367 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: most prominent campaigns in all of the country does not 368 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: forcefully push back on a concept of defunding law enforcement 369 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: and reducing the presence of law enforcement in communities, it's 370 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: easy to understand why society becomes more violent way it 371 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: becomes more lawless, and immigration is just one more area 372 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: that that has taken place. I mean, he's not defunding 373 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: immigration enforcement yet to that extent, but he's deactivating it. 374 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: He is saying, you know, we know the federal law 375 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: requires removal of individuals who are found to be unlawfully 376 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: president in the United States or immigrants who violate certain 377 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: laws are removable, and now we put a stay on 378 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: that for a review. Well, the review is the legal 379 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: process that is in place to determine if an individual 380 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,239 Speaker 1: should continue to remain in the country. You don't need 381 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: to review the review process. That's what the legal process is. 382 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: But what it does show the rest of the world, 383 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: the rest of the country, lawless elements and the like, 384 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: is that there's a window of opportunity to be lawless, 385 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: and that's what's taking place all across the board in 386 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: the country. There's an underlying cultural shift, so that you 387 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: get constant violence in Portland, in Seattle, you have problems 388 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: in Denver. You have a dramatic rise in crime rates 389 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: in New York and Saint Louis, Baltimore, Chicago. And now 390 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: you have a series of policy recommendations that increase the 391 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: potential that, for example, MS thirteen gang members will get 392 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: into the US and be accepted, even though we know 393 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: that it's a gang which is consistently deeply involved in 394 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: violence and deeply involved in drug dealing. And you see 395 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: this across the system. What can citizens do face with 396 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: these realities. It's going to have to be a grassroots movement, 397 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: and you are very familiar with grassroots movement that changed 398 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: the majority in Congress. Now, to my point earlier, I 399 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: wish we could say that we didn't see any of 400 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: this coming, but candidate Biden, in his efforts to appease 401 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: the most radical left of his party, made all this 402 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: very plain and very open to us. But now it's 403 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: coming to pass. And just to give an example, now, 404 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: the unions are surprised that with the shutdown of the 405 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: Keystone Pipeline project, that thousands of their members are losing 406 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: their jobs as a result of that, Well, that wasn't 407 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: a secret to anyone. I should point up. I was 408 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: on handy last night and just before me, Hannity had 409 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: a union member who was one of the people who 410 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: lost his job, and that union had endorsed Biden. You 411 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: really had to wonder what did they think was going 412 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: to happen? And that was very plain and candidate Biden's 413 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: campaign that Keystone was going to go away. We don't 414 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: necessarily take into account an individual's word as his bond, 415 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: and that bond may result and very terrible things for 416 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: our country generally and for ourselves specifically. But that's what's 417 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: going to happen, is there's going to have to be 418 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: a pushback. There's going to have to be efforts like 419 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: years knew, like this effort is to inform people of 420 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: what's going on and let them know that this is 421 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: not good policy. Human trafficking, the victimization of women and 422 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: children is going to continue, and it's going to expand 423 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: as a result of this. The chaos at the border, 424 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: the violence at the border, there's a reason why a 425 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: significant number of border counties in Texas flipped in their 426 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: electoral results because the folks are along the border there. 427 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: I think there were six counties in Texas where there 428 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: was a significant change in the results between twenty sixteen 429 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen with the Republican and Democrat candidates because they 430 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 1: did read what candidate Biden said he was going to 431 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: do that would impact the border, and they knew what 432 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: President had done to secure the border with the remain 433 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: in Mexico, with the building and the strengthening of the 434 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: wall there, providing border patrol, with the infrastructure. They need 435 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: to leverage their personnel to effectively secure the border. We 436 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: just need to continue to inform the people of what's 437 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: going on and hopefully within the next couple of years, 438 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: maybe even change the minds of some folks in Washington. John, 439 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: we want to come back in a few months and 440 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: ask you to visit us again and give us sort 441 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: of progress or disaster report. Has it turns out to be. 442 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 1: I really appreciate your leadership and the work you're doing 443 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: on this extraordinary, vital issue. Well, thank you, mister speaker. 444 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: It's great to talk to you again, and thank you 445 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: for your past service. To our union and thank you 446 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: for what you're doing now. I know that you're reaching 447 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: a lot of folks, and we sure appreciate you for 448 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: fighting the good fight. Just after we recorded this interview, 449 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: the Associated Press announcement that a judge had barred the 450 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: US from enforcing the one hundred day ban on deportations, 451 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: dealing an early blow to President Biden's immigration plans.
