THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN FRONT OF
OUR VEHICLES.
THIS TIME THERE WERE A COUPLE OF
BORDER PATROL AGENTS ON HAND
THAT WENT AFTER THESE GUYS.
THEY WEREN’T ABLE TO CATCH ALL
OF THEM.
WE FOLLOWED SOME OF THESE GUYS
INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE
PEOPLE LIVE IN THE U.S. AND THEY
MELTED AWAY INTO THE SHADOWS AND
GOT AWAY.
BORDER PATROL ENDED UP CATCHING
A COUPLE OF THEM.
LOOK AT THE MUG SHOTS OUT OF
BORDER PATROL’S DEL RIO SECTOR

HORRIBLE CONVICTION FOR RAPE OF
A DISABLED MINOR IN NEW YORK IN
2012.
HE WAS DEPORTED IN 2018.
THE OTHER GUY A MEXICAN NATIONAL
WITH AN AGGRAVATED FELONY FOR
SEXUAL ABUSE OF A CHILD IN UTAH.
HE WAS DEPORTED LAST YEAR.
BOTH THOSE GUYS TRIED CROSSING
AGAIN.
THANKFULLY BOTH CAPTURED BY
BORDER PATROL.

TO TELL YOU ABOUT.
THE FIRST ONE IS IN ARIZONA.

MARK KELLY HAS BEEN REELECTED
SENATOR IN ARIZONA. YOU WOULD ASSUME THE BORDER IS A
YOU WOULD ASSUME THE BORDER IS A
BIG ISSUE IN THAT STATE, PLACES
LIKE TEXAS.
DO YOU THINK DEMOCRATS
NATIONALLY HAVE RECOGNIZED THE
COMPLEXITY OF THE ISSUE AND
FRUSTRATION THAT PEOPLE HAVE?
HIS ANSWER ABSOLUTELY NOT.
NOT EVEN CLOSE.
