THEY SURVEYED FENCING AND BOLDER
WALL.
JOINING US BORDER CUSTOMS
DIRECTOR MARK MORGAN.
THAT BACKLOG OF 1.3 MILLION -- I
THINK WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER --
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM
YOU WHY THAT HAS DOUBLED IN LESS
THAN THREE YEARS.
>> IT'S SIMPLE.
ANSWER IS BECAUSE CONGRESS HAS
FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB.
I KNOW YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT
THIS MANY TIMES.
I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH FOR
THEM TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.
LOU: I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU
TURN BLUE HERE.
>> BUT THAT'S THE REASON.
THE LOOPHOLES IN OUR CURRENT
LEGAL FRAMEWORK, THAT'S THE
INCENTIVE.
THEY ARE INCENTIVIZED TO COME
HERE.
AND THE CARTELS HAVE TAKEN
ADVANTAGE OF THAT EVERY DAY IN
THE LAST TWO YEARS.
LOU: THE FACT IS THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY IS ALIGNED ITSELF IN
PROVIDING INCENTIVES, AND
AVOIDING CONSEQUENCES FOR THE
DRUG CARTELS THEMSELVES FOR
THOSE WHO ARE SMUGGLING THE
DEADLIEST DRUGS ACROSS THAT
BORDER, ALIGNING AND SUPPORTING
THOSE WHO ARE IN FACT
RESPONSIBLE FOR 70,000 OPIATE
DEATHS A YEAR.
OVERDOSE DEATHS, AND SEX
TRAFFICKING, AND NO ONE WANTS TO
CALL THEM TO ACCOUNT.
>> MAKE NO MISTAKE.
YOU ARE SPOT-ON IN THE SENSE
THIS IS NOT JUST A HUMANITARIAN
CRISIS.
THIS IS HUMANITARIAN AND
NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS.
IN MAY WE HAD 50% OF OUR BORDER
PATROL RESOURCES PULLED OFF THE
FRONT LINES, BADGE WEARING
OFFICIALS TRAINED TO STOP BAD
THINGS AND BAD PEOPLE FROM
COMING IN.
INSTEAD THEY ARE DOING A
HUMANITARIAN MISSION.
THIS CONGRESS WITH ONE PIECE OF
PAPER --
LOU: YOU AND I TALK ABOUT THIS.
WHINING ABOUT CONGRESS ISN'T
HELPFUL.
I KNOW IT'S FRUSTRATING TO ALL
OF US.
BUT IT'S NOT HELPFUL.
THEY TOLD THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES TO GO TO HELL.
HE DECLARED A NATIONAL EMERGENCY
BECAUSE WE HAVE A CRISIS ON THAT
BORDER.
WHETHER IT'S DRUGS, SEX
TRAFFICKING, WHETHER IT'S HUMAN
SMUGGLING, AND THE DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESS SAID GO TO HELL.
SO WHY WOULD THERE BE ANY
PRETENSE OR SUGGESTION THAT THEY
WOULD SUDDENLY AWAKEN?
BECOME AWOKE CONGRESS, WOKEN TO
THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES TO SERVE
THE UNITED STATES.
>> YOU AND I AGREE ON THIS.
I WAS JUST SAYING WHAT CAUSED
THIS ANNIE WAS AGREEING WITH
YOU.
THIS PRESIDENT AND
ADMINISTRATION DEVELOPED
POLICIES AND RULES THAT HAS DONE
WITH CONGRESS HAS FAILED TO DO.
LOU: I LOVE TO TALK ABOUT THE
FACT THAT HE PUT TARIFFS ON AND
CREATED A NEW PARTNER IN MEXICO.
MORE PARTNERS IN CENTRAL
AMERICA.
DOING SOMETHING PEOPLE SAID
COULD NEVER BE DONE.
THOUSANDS OF MEXICAN TROOPS ON
THE NORTHERN BORDER.
THOUSANDS ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER
GUATEMALA.
NONE OF THIS COULD HAVE
HAPPENED.
PUTTING UP A WALL WHICH IS GOING
TO ASSURE BORDER SECURITY, AND
ALL OF THIS WITHOUT THE HELP OF
THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS, BUT
AN INNOVATIVE AND ADAPTIVE
PRESIDENT SHOWING WHAT THIS
COUNTRY USED TO STAND FOR,
INGENUITY AND CAN-DO.
AND THE HELL OF THE RECALCITRANT
DEMOCRAT KICK CONGRESS.
>> I AGREE.
LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT THE
FLORES REG.
FINAL RULE REQUIRES PEOPLE TO
CLAIM ASYLUM IN THE FIRST
COUNTRY THEY COME TO.
THIS IS THE BEST THING FOR THIS
COUNTRY AND FOR SOMEONE ACTUALLY
