There are people in the 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: migrant camps making decisions because they are convinced that Trump's 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: policy is real and it's coming and they'd be better 15 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: off making a decision on what they're going to do now. 16 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: Todd Bensman has been reporting from the border for years now. 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: He's been the Center for Immigration Studies.

I went there 26 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: because there are thousands nobody knows how many, but there 27 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: are definitely thousands and informal encampments all over the city. 28 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 3: It's a gigantic city, of course, and that's a good 29 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 3: place to sort of sample what's going on. And so 30 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: I wandered around three different camps and interviewed a lot 31 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 3: of different immigrants from all over the world, you know 32 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 3: what's going on. And what a lot of them told 33 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 3: me was, I'm going home because a you know CBP one, 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 3: which is the parole program them under Biden, where they're 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 3: just walking them in over the border, scheduling their illegal 36 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 3: immigration over the border. The landports is going to be 37 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 3: canceled on January twentieth, That's what Trump's saying. And they're 38 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 3: all down there waiting on it. So what are you 39 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 3: going to do when they cancel it? Well, they're going 40 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 3: to throw up their hands and go all the way home. 41 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 3: In this way, the Columbia, Guatemala, Honduras. 42 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: And this is the app that if you went on 43 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: the app and filled out the form, you in effect 44 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: would be pre legalized across the border, and you'd then 45 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: be given a date for asylum hearing years into the future, 46 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: but you could cross into the border and start your 47 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: life immediately. 48 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they've let in a million and a 49 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 3: half people like that over the last year and a 50 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 3: half or so. It's a lot of people. They're just 51 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: letting them across it. Basically, instead of them initiating an 52 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: I Go crossing, they apply to the government and the 53 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 3: government illegally crosses them in, you know, with these permission 54 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: slips that Congress never approved, nobody approved. It's just this 55 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 3: ad hoc thing. But you know, they've let hundreds and 56 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 3: hundreds of thousands of people in that way, and most 57 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 3: of the ones down there are waiting for their ticket 58 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 3: to get punched for that, but they're seeing the time 59 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 3: is running out. They've only got till January twenty and 60 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 3: there's a backlog. They're not going to make it, so 61 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: they're just there's a lot of despair over that down there, 62 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: and the yeah, they're the home. 63 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: Where's the backlog? 64 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: Because I thought getting on the app and filling out 65 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: the forum that that gets you the ticket. 66 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: It doesn't you have to go through other procedures. 67 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: Well, because they obviously this thing is mammothly popular, you know. 68 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: I mean, the government's going to just let us cross. 69 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: You know, that's incredible. Nothing like that's ever happened. So, 70 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: you know, I think there's like two million people in 71 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: line for it, and they just can't process that many, 72 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: so that the wavefime has gotten really long, so a 73 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: lot of them have been down there for months waiting 74 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: for their ticket to get punched. They're bringing in about 75 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 3: maybe fifteen hundred a day right now, so they'll be 76 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 3: bringing in fifteen hundred a day by land all the 77 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: way to January twenty, and they'll be flying in another 78 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: two thousand a month, so about forty about thirty five hundred. Sorry. 79 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: The Biden administration kept this program going full blast even 80 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: after Harris lost so badly on election day. 81 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: Oh, it's full blast. They're they're they're definitely doing it. 82 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 3: They'll do it all the way to the last possible 83 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: minute of the last day that they can do it. 84 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 3: But everybody else is going to get caught behind the gate. 85 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: And they don't even want to try illegal crossings now 86 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 3: because Tom Homan is out there. You know, the new 87 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: borders are saying, we're going to deport everybody we catch you. 88 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 3: We're going to cancel that and you're going to be 89 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 3: illegal before too long, and then we're going to deport you. 90 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 3: So they're not happy about that either. They don't like 91 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: the chances or the look of that, and so they're 92 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: saying we're going to stay put or go home. And 93 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: that means that the border numbers, the crossings will plumb it. 94 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 3: In fact, they're already plummeting in the Darien Gap further 95 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 3: South story on a Newsweek today that the numbers have 96 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 3: never been lower than they are right now, and the 97 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: Darien Gap, which is a good sort of barometer of 98 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 3: what's going on. 99 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: Right now, and that's the passage where they go from 100 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: South America into Central America. 101 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's one other important thing happening as well 102 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 3: that I found down there, and that is Trump before 103 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 3: he even won election, the day before, he threatened Mexican 104 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: government with twenty five per sent trade tariffs and then 105 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 3: progressively higher from there if they didn't shut this down 106 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 3: on their side with their military. And I saw that 107 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 3: happening down there. They're they're scooping up anybody who tries 108 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 3: to go north and returning them back to the south. 109 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: Internal deportation. I guess you would call that that. That's 110 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 3: been going on for a while now because Biden actually 111 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: arranged for it, originally to keep the border calm for 112 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 3: the campaign, for the for his campaign and then Mahari's campaign. 113 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 3: You can't have thousands of people pouring over the border 114 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: when you're trying to run a campaign. So I expected 115 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: that to kind of end on election day. But then 116 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 3: the day before, Trump said, hey, twenty five percent tariffs 117 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: if you if you don't keep that in place, So 118 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: they have kept it in place. Claudia Scheinbaum to some, 119 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how wide spread it is, 120 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: but I think they're taking the tariff threat very seriously. 121 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: So it's almost like somebody flipped a switch and the 122 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: party is over. 123 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: Everybody's got to go back home now, just like that. 124 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 3: That's all it takes. It's like you said, it's called 125 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: the Trump effect. We saw this in twenty seventeen. We 126 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 3: also saw it, sort of the Trump effect sort of 127 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 3: dissipate in the face of a lot of litigation. Back 128 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen. That blocked the implementation of a lot 129 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: of his policies for a year or so, and they 130 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 3: started coming. So you have to follow it up with action. 131 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 3: If the Trump administration for some reason does not deport 132 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 3: in sufficient number or kick them back or expel them, 133 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 3: and the Shinbab administration does not keep using its military, 134 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 3: they will come. But on the other hand, if you know, 135 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 3: if you're an immigrant down in Mexico City hoping to 136 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 3: get in, what you're seeing is a big blockade by 137 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 3: the Mexicans, you'll spend hundreds of dollars or maybe thousands 138 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 3: to get north of Mexico City. And then if you 139 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: get caught, that's a sunk cost. You get shipped all 140 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: the way back to the South to start over again. 141 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: And then even if you do get across and you 142 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 3: got the Americans waiting to expel you, under remain in 143 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: Mexico that other policy that's clear to go now by 144 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 3: the way, by the courts. So it doesn't look good. 145 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: Of course you're going to stay put or go home. 146 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: I mean, what's the point of dropping all that cash 147 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 3: only to end up like that back to square one. 148 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: That's not the that's not the way it's supposed to work. 149 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 3: That's not how it's been working. The last four years. 150 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 3: You've had an almost guarantee of getting in and staying 151 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 3: in under the Biden administration, so they were dropping the 152 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 3: cash on it. 153 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: It's it's just shocking that if you if you decide 154 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: to enforce the law how quickly, even before you take power, 155 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: you can change the entire dynamic, you know, from here 156 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: all the yeah, all the way to the edge of 157 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: Central America into South America and affecting all the people 158 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: who've been coming in from Kazakhstan and Africa. I mean, 159 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: it's like it's like a worldwide earthquake. 160 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, we saw this during COVID. I mean, in COVID, 161 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 3: we shut our border. And when we shut our border, 162 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: Mexico had no choice but to shut its border or 163 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: get stuck with the hot potato. 164 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: And all the. 165 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 3: Countries south of Mexico had to shut their borders. So 166 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 3: all during that pandemic period you had almost nobody moving 167 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 3: through the through the routes. That's how it works. 168 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: Wow, that's good, great news, Todd.
