NEIL: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN ME SAYING I PROMISE TO
LOSE WEIGHT AND MEXICO SAYING
IT PROMISES TO HELP THE US
MANAGE MIGRANTS THAT ARE
SWARMING THE SOUTHERN BORDER?
TOM HOMAN DOESN’T BELIEVE
EITHER, THE FORMER ACTING ICE
DIRECTOR.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
REMINDS ME OF THE ON REAGAN
LINE, I’M FROM THE GOVERNMENT,
I AM HERE TO HELP, OUR MEXICANS
PROMISING TO DO THAT, I WONDER.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
>> THEY ARE OFFERING $1 BILLION
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND THAT
MEANS THEY WANT TO IMPROVE THE
EFFICIENCY OF MOVING PRODUCT
AND PEOPLE INTO THE UNITED
STATES, NOTHING TO DO WITH
BORDER SECURITY.
IF THEY GIVE THE $1.4 BILLION
THEY PROMISE MEXICO LAST YEAR
RECEIVED $54 BILLION IN
REMITTANCE.
PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE UNITED
STATES WHO SEND MONEY BACK TO
MEXICO, $54 BILLION.
IF HE DOESN’T WANT TO SOLVE THE
BORDER CRISIS BECAUSE THIS IS A
BIG WIN FOR HIM FINANCIALLY IT
IS A LOAN.
THIS MONEY WILL INCREASE TRADE
PARIS MEXICO MAKING IT MORE
EFFICIENT, MOVING MORE GOODS
INTO THE UNITED STATES, NOTHING
ABOUT THAT.
NEIL: WHEN CARAVANS COME AND
OVER THE YEARS YOU SEE THEM
GROW, THEY SEEM UNOBSTRUCTED
FROM MEXICANS WHEN YOU MOVE
FROM THE BORDER OF MEXICO TO
THE SOUTH, GUATEMALA, NO ONE IS
STOPPING THEM?
WHAT DO THEY DO?
>> ACTUALLY IT IS ILLEGAL TO
TRAVEL TO MEXICO FROM ANOTHER
COUNTRY WITHOUT TRANSIT VISA.
THOUSANDS TRANSIT THROUGH THE
COUNTRY ILLEGALLY.
WE PUT A STOP TO THAT.
MEXICO, TARIFFS WOULDN’T TISSUE
TRANSIT VISAS AND STOP MIGRANTS
AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER, ENTERED
INTO REMAINING MEXICO PROGRAM,
IF YOU LEFT EL SALVADOR AND
GUATEMALA BECAUSE YOU FEARED
ASYLUM, CLAIM ASYLUM IS THERE,
THEY GOT ALL OF THIS UNDER
THREAT OF TARIFFS, DONALD TRUMP
DID THINGS DIFFERENTLY. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
OFFERING CENTRAL AMERICAN
COMPANIES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS,
AND AND A DIFFERENT
ADMINISTRATION, YOU WON’T SEE
THIS CRISIS, MEXICO’S NOT DOING
A THING TO STOP IT.
THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND
SECURITY CAN’T TELL YOU THEY’VE
ONE THING TO SLOW THE FLOW,
THEY SENT A LOT OF RESOURCES TO
THE BORDER TO PROCESS QUICKLY,
NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
>> THEY ARE COMING FROM THE
SOUTH.
TO GIVE WORK VISAS, DOESN’T
SEEM TO BE SLOWING THE CARAVAN
TO THE BORDER BUT THE REAL GOLD
IS THE UNITED STATES NO MATTER
WHAT MEXICO WHAT OFFER.
>> THIS ADMINISTRATION, BEING
IN OUR COUNTRY, NOT ENOUGH TO
BE ARRESTED BY ICE AND WORKSITE
ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS, AND TO
THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY, JUST
HERE ILLEGALLY, AND GET A JOB
ILLEGALLY BECAUSE ICE CAN’T DO
WORK-STUDY OPERATIONS ANYMORE.
THAT’S A BAD MESSAGE TO SEND
THE WORLD.
NEIL: YOU WOULD SOONER TRUST ME
MAKING A COMMITMENT TO LOSE
WEIGHT THAN TO BUY WHAT THE
MEXICANS ARE SAYING TO CONTROL
THE BORDER.
IN A NICE WHY THAT IS HOW YOU
ANSWER THAT.
YOU LOOK FIND YOURSELF.
THE FORMER ACTING ICE DIRECTOR
