>> IT’S NOT A CLOSED BORDER.
YOU CAN ONLY CLOSE IT BY HAVING
THE RESOURCES TO SECURE IT AND
ALSO HAVE THE SYSTEMS IN PLACE.
THIS ADMINISTRATION DID NOT
STEP UP AND RESPOND IN AN
APPROPRIATE WAY.
THAT OPENED THE DOOR.
THAT SENT A SIGNAL THAT IT IS
AN OPEN BORDER.
>> Harris: SO ARKANSAS’S
GOVERNOR HUTCHINSON ON A RIDE
ALONG WITH TEXAS STATE TROOPERS
LAST NIGHT AND HE TOOK A MOMENT
TO KIND OF EXPRESS THE FRESH
CRITICISM NOW THAT HE HAS FOR
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S IMMIGRATION
POLICIES AND THE CHAOS AT THE
SOUTHERN BORDER.
HE IS NOT ALONE IN ALL THIS.
NOW A GROUP OF REPUBLICAN
GOVERNORS IS HEADED TO SURVEY
THE SITUATION FOR THEMSELVES
DUE THERE TOMORROW.
THEY WILL RENEW THEIR CALLS FOR
PRESIDENT BIDEN TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT WHAT IS UNFOLDING THERE.
HOWEVER, TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG
ABBOTT IS NOT WAITING FOR THE
WHITE HOUSE.
HE IS PREPARING THE STATE
NATIONAL GUARD, ALONG THE
BORDER, AS THE STEADY STREAM OF
MIGRANTS IS NOT SLOWING DOWN.
HE IS GOING TO SEND THEM THERE.
THEY ARE READYING.
PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORK IN THE
AREA ARE FED UP.
>> THE FAULT OF THE PRESIDENT.
THEY HAD BEEN PROMISED BY THE
PRESIDENT THEY WOULD COME TO
THE UNITED STATES.
>> IT HAS BEEN MOUNTING BIT BY
BIT.
NOT JUST A THING THAT HAPPENED
OVER THE COURSE OF ONE WEEK.
>> Harris: THEY MUST FEEL
ABANDONED.
I WANT TO BRING INTO FOCUS
FORMER ACTING ICE DIRECTOR TOM
HOMAN, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR.
TOM, LITERALLY IT MUST FEEL TO
THEM THAT NO ONE IS HEARING
THEIR CRIES FOR HELP INSIDE THE
WHITE HOUSE.
>> YOU SAID IT RIGHT.
THEY HAVE BEEN ABANDONED AND
THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE BORDER
PATROL.
THE SECRETARY WON’T ADMIT THE
CRISIS WHILE THESE MEN AND
WOMEN ARE WORKING THEIR BUTTS
OFF.
THE PRESIDENT IN HIS FIRST
SPEECH SAID BORDER PATROL WOULD
WATCH CHILDREN DYING ON RIVER
BANKS DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT.
THESE ARE PATRIOTS, AMERICAN
CITIZENS THAT SAVED OVER 8,000
LIVES THIS YEAR.
CHILDREN DROWNING IN THE RIVER,
PEOPLE ABANDONED IN THE DESERT.
ONE THING I WANT TO SAY TO LOOK
AT THIS THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HANDED
PRESIDENT BIDEN THE MOST SECURE
BORDER IN MY CAREER WHICH SPANS
35 YEARS.
I WORKED FOR SIX PRESIDENTS.
MOST SECURE BORDER I HAVE EVER
SEEN.
WHY WOULD ANY INCOMING
PRESIDENT WANT TO TEAR IT DOWN?
THERE IS NO DOWN SIDE ON A
SECURE BORDER, NO DOWN SIDE ON
LESS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND
LESS DRUG FLOW, TAKING MONEY
OFT CARTEL’S HANDS.
ITS IS RIDICULOUS THAT ANY
PRESIDENT WOULD COME IN AND SAY
I WANT A LESS SECURE BORDER.
IT IS RIDICULOUS.
>> Harris: SIX PRESIDENTS, 35
YEARS AND THE WORST YOU’VE EVER
SEEN IT.
WE HEAR FROM THE BORDER PATROL
CHIEF RODNEY SCOTT, WHO WAS
BOOTED, SAYING THIS ABOUT
TERROR THREATS AT THE BORDER.
THE TOPIC IS EVEN BIGGER.
LET’S WATCH.
>> WE HAVE NATION STATE
THREATS, WE HAVE TERRORIST
THREATS, WE CAN’T GET INTO TYPE
OF FORUM BUT THEY’RE REAL,
EXIST AND THEY WANT TO COME
ACROSS THAT BORDER.
STAT ISICALLY IT INCLUDES
RAPISTS, MURDERS, TO THINK
THERE IS NOT JUST AS BAD OR
WORSE PEOPLE THAN THOSE GETTING
AWAY WOULD BE NAIVE.
>> Harris: I HAVE TO THINK IN
YOUR 35 YEARS THIS IS WHAT YOU
ARE TALKING ABOUT BY THE WORST
YOU’VE EVER SEEN IT.
>> I’M GLAD HE IS A GOOD FRIEND
OF MINE.
AMERICAN PATRIOT.
I HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR THREE
YEARS TERRORISTS, IT’S
VULNERABLE TO TERRORISM.
THEY GO UP THROUGH PANAMA.
OFFICIALS SAY THEY HAVE A HUGE
SURGE COMING OUR WAY.
HOW MANY KNOWN SUSPECTED
TERRORISTS WILL EMBED
THEMSELVES IN THE GROUPS.
THE PATHWAY FOR THOEFS WHO WANT
TO COME AND DO HARM.
RODNEY IS RIGHT.
BY THE NUMBERS.
DATA SHOWS 20% OF BORDER PATROL
APPREHENSIONS FROM A CRIMINAL
HISTORY.
ALMOST 350 TO 400,000 GOTAWAYS.
PEOPLE THE BORDER PATROL
COULDN’T ARREST.
THAT’S BASED ON TRAFFIC CAMERA
AND DRONES.
IF YOU HAVE 400,000 GOTAWAYS
AND YOU SAY 20% OF THAT.
I’M NOT -- THAT’S 80,000
CRIMINALS THAT WENT ACROSS THE
BORDER AND NOT STOPPED.
THIS BORDER IS VULNERABLE TO
FET NALL.
-- FENTANYL.
IT IS A NATIONAL SECURITY
CRISIS AND I’M GLAD RODNEY
SCOTT IS SPEAKING UP.
>> YOU MENTION PANAMA.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD DEALS IN
THE NORTHERN TRIANGLE COUNTRIES.
DO WE HAVE ENOUGH FRIENDSHIPS
WITH PEOPLE DOWN THERE THAT
THEY WOULD LOOK FOR THE BAD
GUYS AMONG THEM OR ARE THEY
FLOATING THESE PEOPLE THROUGH
LIKE NEXT, HEAD TO AMERICA.
>> ICE HAS A GREAT RELATIONSHIP
WITH PANAMA.
I MET WITH THOSE OFFICIALS.
WE HAVE STOPPED KNOWN AND
SUSPECTED TERRORISM THERE IN
THE GAP AND ABLE TO DEPORT THEM
BACK TO THE HOMELAND BEFORE
THEY GOT TO THE UNITED STATES.
THEIR GOAL WAS TO GET TO THE
UNITED STATES.
WE CAUGHT SOME, HOW MANY DIDN’T
WE CATCH?
YOU DON’T CATCH EVERYBODY.
350,000 TO 400,000 GOTAWAYS
THIS YEAR ALONE.
WHO WERE THEY?
>> Harris: WOW.
