POSITION IN THE EVER IMPORTANT
PERMIAN BASIN.
>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP ON A TWITTER
TEAR, TRY SAYING THAT THREE
TIMES THIS MORNING, BLASTING
MEXICO OAF WHAT HE CALLS THE
MOTHER OF ALL CARAVAN.
A VERY BIG CARAVAN OF OVER
20,000 PEOPLE STARTED UP THROUGH
MEXICO.
IT HAS BEEN REDUCED IN SIZE BY
MEXICO BUT IT IS STILL COMING.
MEXICO MUST APPREHEND THE
REMAINDER OR WE WILL BE FORCED
TO CLOSE THAT SECTION OF THE
BORDER AND CALL UP THE MILITARY.
COYOTES AND CARTELS HAVE
WEAPONS.
JUST MOMENTS AGO HE PRAISED THE
CONSTRUCTION OF HIS WORDER WALL.
>> WE ARE STOPPING THE DRUG FLOW
AS MUCH AS WE CAN.
SOON WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A WALL
THAT WILL BE A VERY POWERFUL
WALL.
IT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
THE MEDIA DOESN'T LIKE TALKING
ABOUT IT.
[APPLAUSE]
THE MEDIA DOESN'T LIKE TALKING
ABOUT IT.
ONE OF MANY THINGS WE'RE DOING.
CHARLES: JOINING ME NOW BORDER
AND COMMERCE SECRETARY COUNCIL
PRESIDENT NELSON BELITO.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
>> HEY, CHARLES, GOOD TO BE WITH
YOU.
CHARLES: SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME
YOU AND I MEET LIKE THIS, THE
COVERINGS IS A NEW CARAVAN.
OFTEN THEY'RE GETTING LARGER AND
LARGER.
NUMBERS ARE DISPUTED.
SOME SAY IT IS 10,000 PEOPLE.
PERHAPS IT WAS 20,000.
A MORE SHOCKINGLY LARGE NUMBER.
RECENTLY WE SEE APPREHENSIONS
AMONG FAMILIES AND CHILDREN.
WHY IS THIS CRISIS GETTING
WORSE?
>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS,
LOOK AT 2017, 400,000
APPREHENSIONS FOR THE ENTIRE
YEAR.
2018, ABOUT 520.
AS OF THIS MONTH WE'VE ALREADY
SURPASSED BOTH THOSE YEARS FOR
APPREHENSIONS.
WE'RE ON THE WAY TO ONE MILLION
APPREHENSIONS THIS YEAR.
THE ISSUE STEMS FROM THE LACK OF
COOPERATION FROM MEXICO.
THE PRESIDENT THAT TOOK OVER
THERE ON DECEMBER 1st, 2018,
JUST LAST YEAR, IF YOU LOOK AT
THE NUMBERS WHEN THEY STARTED
SPIKING, A COUPLE MONTHS RIGHT
BEFORE HE TOOK OVER.
AND THEN, TAKING, THE CARTELS
STARTED TAKING ADVANTAGE THE
MOVEMENT OF THE PRESIDENT AND
THEIR PEOPLE.
THEN YOU SEE A SPIKE COME
DECEMBER, JANUARY, FEBRUARY,
YOU'RE SEEING IT CONTINUOUSLY.
MEXICO HAS TO SEAL THE SOUTHERN
BORDER.
AND IF THEY DON'T DO THAT, IT IS
NOT ONLY TAKING JOBS AWAY FROM
THE ACTUAL CITIZENS OF MEXICO,
BUT ALSO CREATING A CULTURE OF
CORRUPTION.
IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE
SMUGGLING HUMANS IS MORE
LUCRATIVE THAN SMUGGLING DRUGS.
I WILL TELL YOU ONE GOVERNOR I
JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH, THE
OF IN MEXICO, THIS IS BORDER
STATE BETWEEN LAREDO AND
BROWNSVILLE.
HE TRILLIONS ME WANTS TO DO
MORE, WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT
OF HOMELAND SECURITY.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS
CAMPAIGN FOR SECURITY AND
PROSPERITY WITH OUR COUNCIL,
WORKING WITH DHS.
MANNY PADILLA, JOINT TASK FORCE
WEST AND CERTAINLY THE GOVERNOR,
LOOKING AT WAYS WE CAN STOP THIS
CARTEL ENCROACHMENT BECAUSE
WHAT'S HAPPENING AT FIVE TO
$7,000 A HEAD, WE'RE FEEDING
THIS CULTURE OF CORRUPTION.
THIS GOVERNOR IS THE ONLY GUY
THAT IS GOING OUT THERE.
WE HAVE SEIZED, WE LOOKED AT 10
PEOPLE THAT WE DID AN
INNERAGENCY SEARCH AND NAMED
THEM, WE CAUGHT SEVEN OF 10
CARTEL, MAJOR CARTEL MEMBERS IN
LESS THAN EIGHT MONTHS.
THAT IS HUMONGOUS.
I WISH WE COOPERATION FROM THE
GOVERNMENT MEXICO.
CHARLES: UNTIL THAT HAPPENS CAN
WE EXPECT THE ON RUSH TO GET
WORSE?
BY THE WAY WE HAVE A MINUTE
LEFT.
SOME SAY THE SUCCESS PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS HAVING ERECTING THE
WALL IS CREATING A GREATER SENSE
OF URGENCY?
>> IT IS CREATING A GREATER
SENSE OF URGENCY.
WE HAVE TO HAVE THE WALL THAT
STOPS AND SLOWS DOWN TRADITIONAL
IMMIGRATION.
WE FOLKS THAT ARE HERE AND DACA
RECIPIENTS AND SO FORTH.
THAT IS SEPARATE ISSUE.
WE HAVE TO STOP THE BLEEDING
BEFORE WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO
DIAGNOSE THE ENTIRE PROBLEM.
THAT ISSUE OF CONTINUOUS 4,000
PEOPLE COMING OVER THAT BORDER
ON A DAILY BASIS HAS TO STOP.
CHARLES: RIGHT.
>> THIS CARAVAN IS SIMPLY
ANOTHER SYMBOL OF THEY'RE
LAUGHING IN OUR FACE, THESE
CARTELS ARE JUST MOVING THESE
PEOPLE WHOLESALE TOWARDS OUR
BORDER.
CHARLES: NELSON, ALWAYS GREAT TO
DISCUSSING THIS WITH YOU.
YOU BRING FACTS THAT NO ONE ELSE
