IT'S OBVIOUSLY VASTLY, VASTLY
MORE.
>>> FIVE YEARS AGO JUDICIAL
WATCH WARNED ABOUT ISLAMIC
TERRORISTS INFILTRATING THE
UNITED STATES THROUGH OUR
SOUTHERN BORDER WITH MENTION
COP.
MEXICO.
AND A NEW REPORT FOR THE STUDY
OF VIOLENT EXTREMISM REVEALS
THAT A CAPTURED FIGHTER IS
REVEALING DETAILS OF JIHADISTS
WERE TO ENTER THE COUNTRY
THROUGH THE U.S. SOUTHERN BORDER
TO CARRY OUT AN ATTACK IN THIS
COUNTRY, EXPLOITING
VULNERABILITIES ALONG THE
2000-MILE BORDER WITH MEXICO.
JOINING US TONIGHT IS THE
PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL BORDER
PATROL COUNCIL, BRANDON JUDD.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
LOU: YOU DISH WATCH FOUR YEARS
AGO MAKING THE POINT THAT THE
BORDER WAS VULNERABLE AND HAS
BEEN EVER SINCE.
IF THIS PRESIDENT ISN'T MAKING
THIS DEAL WITH MEXICO, WE'RE IN
EVEN WORSE TROUBLE.
>> WHAT'S AMAZING ABOUT IT IS
THAT THE PRESIDENT GOT MEXICO TO
SEND MORE TROOPS TO THEIR
SOUTHERN BORDER WITH GUATEMALA
THAN WHAT CONGRESS APPROVED FOR
THE UNITED STATES BORDER PATROL
AGENTS TOBS ON THE SOUTHWEST
BORDER WITH MOTION
BORDER WITH MEXION
BORDER WITH MEXICN
BORDER WITH MEXICO.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE WORKING THEIR WAY UP
THROUGH MEXICO RIGHT NOW.
IT'S A LOT LESS THAN WHAT WE HAD
A FEW DAYS AGO, PRIOR TO THE
DEAL BEING STRUCK.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE LESS PEOPLE
ENTERING THIS COUNTRY STRICTLY
BECAUSE OF THE DEAL THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS ABLE TO
REACH WITH MEXICO.
LOU: BECAUSE MEXICO UNDER THE
TERMS OF THE DEAL WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP WILL HAVE TO POLICE THE
SOUTHERN BORDER, MORE THAN
500 MILES WITH GUATEMALA.
AND WE'RE ALSO WATCHING
ARRESTS -- THEY ARE NOT MANY BUT
WE'RE WATCHING THESE ARRESTS OF
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ON THE
TRAINS, BUSES.
AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THAT MEXICO ISN'T SIMPLY JUST AN
OBSERVER OF THIS.
THEY HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY
SUPPORTING THE MOVEMENT OF THESE
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UP THROUGH
THE 2000 MILES OF THEIR CENTRAL
CORRIDOR TO THE U.S.
>> AND THE REASON THEY'RE
SUPPORTING IT IS BECAUSE WHAT
SENATOR PERDUE JUST FOUND OUT.
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S BEING
MADE, THAT MONEY IS STAYING IN
MEXICO.
THESE CARTELS GENERATING ALL OF
THIS PROFIT, THIS MONEY STAYS IN
MENTION
MEXIION
MEXICON
MEXICO, GETS SPENT IN MEXICO.
THAT GOES TO BOLSTER THEIR
ECONOMY WHICH IS ONE OF THE MAIN
REASONS THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT
HAS BEEN SO RELUCTANT TO COME UP
WITH A DEAL TO HELP US SECURE
OUR BORDER.
THAT WOULD CUT DOWN ON THE
CARTELS' PROFIT.
AND THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR US.
LOU: A HUGE PROBLEM.
AND 75,000 LOST AMERICAN LIVES.
THE RADICAL DIMMS, NANCY PELOSI,
CHUCK SCHUMER, RICH
CHUCK SCHUMER, MICH
CHUCK SCHUMER, MITH
CHUCK SCHUMER, MITCH McCONNELL
AND BEFORE THEM WITHIN PRIEP
AND BEFORE THEM, ITHIN PRIEP
AND BEFORE THEM, PAHIN PRIEP
AND BEFORE THEM, PAULN PRIEP
AND BEFORE THEM, PAUL RPRIEP
AND BEFORE THEM, PAUL RYAIEP
AND BEFORE THEM, PAUL RYANEP
AND BEFORE THEM, PAUL RYAN IN
THE HOUSE, THEY WERE LINED UP
WITH THE CARTELS ON THE ISSUE OF
BORDER SECURITY, ON THE ISSUE OF
STOPPING ILLEGAL DRUGS, ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS, SEX TRAFFICKING.
AND THE NATIONAL LEFT-WING MEDIA
GIVES THEM A FREE PASS.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU POINT OUT
THAT IT'S NOT JUST THE
DEMOCRATS.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, IT'S DEFINITELY
THE DEMOCRATS.
BUT WE ALSO HAVE REPUBLICANS
THAT PUSH BACK ON ALL OF THIS --
ON TRYING TO SECURE THE BORDER
BECAUSE THERE ARE CERTAIN
REPUBLICANS THAT WANT CHEAP
LABOR IN THEIR STATES BECAUSE
THEIR STATES RELY ON CHEAP
LABOR.
LOU: DOES THE NAME CHUCK
GRASSLEY RING A BELL?
JONI ERNST?
DOES HE THINK HE'S KIDDING
SOMEBODY?
LINING UP AGAINST THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES, THE LEADER
OF HIS PARTY AND SOMEBODY THINKS
IT'S BECAUSE HE'S A CROTCH EDDY
OLD SENATOR FROM THE MIDWEST.
NO.
IT'S BECAUSE HE'S TRYING TO
SERVE WHAT HE PERCEIVES TO BE
THE INTEREST OF IOWA INSTEAD OF
THE NATIONAL INTEREST AND THE
INTEREST OF HIS STATE.
>> EXACTLY.
LOU: THIS DEAL WITH MEXICO
FASCINATES ME.
IT IS TRUMPIAN FROM A TO Z.
IT'S BOLD, INNOVATIVE AND NO ONE
HAD THOUGHT ABOUT TRYING IT
BEFORE THE PRESIDENT DID IT.
AND TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THESE
CARTELS, WHAT ELSE COULD A
BUSINESS -- WHAT ELSE COULD A
BUSINESS DO FACED WITH THESE
TARIFFS.
THE PRESIDENT HAD TO PUT ANYTIME
DOLLARS AND CENTS FOR THE
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT.
IT'S COST THEM MORE TO IGNORE
THE RESPONSIBILITIES ON THAT
BORDER.
>> BINGO.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE
LOOKED AT.
WHEN HE SAID -- WHEN HE WENT TO
MEXICO AND HE ASKED THEM TO
PARTNER WITH HIM, TO HELP HIM
SECURE NOT ONLY OUR BORDER BUT
HIS BORDER TO SECURE THE BORDER
AND TAKE DOWN THE CARTELS.
BECAUSE HE WAS WILLING TO STEP
UP AND DO WHAT NO OTHER
PRESIDENT PRIOR TO HIM WAS
WILLING TO DO, WE ACTUALLY NOW
HAVE MEASURES STARTING TO WORK
AND STARTING TO PAY DIVIDENDS,
IT'S NOT JUST DIVIDENDS A YEAR
DOWN THE ROAD.
THESE ARE IMMEDIATE DIVIDENDS
WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW.
LOU: TO BE CLEAR, WE'RE SEEING
FEWER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
APPROACHING OUR BORDER WITH
MEXICO AS A RAWLT OF WHAT
THEY'VE DONE AT THEIR SOUTHERN
BORDER WITH GUATEMALA.
>> FEWER PEOPLE COMING UP TO OUR
SOUTHERN BORDER YES.
LOU: THE PRESIDENT AND LOPEZ
OBSERVE
OBRARVE
OBRADOE
OBRADOR.
I THOUGHT HE HAD COME TO THIS
CONCLUSION SOONER.
I THOUGHT HE UNDERSTOOD WHAT A
SMART, SMART DECISION IT WOULD
BE TO PARTNER WITH THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES,
PARTICULARLY THIS PRESIDENT.
BUT AT LEAST HE'S GOTTEN THERE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD TO JUST HELP
A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN I WOULD
HAVE THOUGHT NECESSARY.
>> HE DID.
HE DID.
LOU: AND WE'RE SEEING EARLY
RESULTS.
>> YES, WE ARE.
LOU: LIKE YOU, WE'LL BE WATCHING
IT CAREFULLY AND WE APPRECIATE
