NEIL: WILD.
STEVE HARRIGAN, BE SAFE, MY
FRIEND.
AT EAGLE PASS, TEXAS.
THE BORDER PATROL COUNCIL,
HECTOR, WHAT DOES IT MAKE FOR
YOU, IT SEEMS TO BE A 180 ON
THE PART OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
IT SEEMS YOU WOULD WELCOME IT
REGARDLESS.
>> WE’RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE
SUPPORTING A BORDER WALL TO
SECURE THE UNITED STATES,
RIGHT?
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS TYPE OF
BORDER WALL THAT’S BUILT IN
YUMA, ARIZONA DOES PRETTY MUCH
NOTHING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
SECURITY.
WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS
TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH, EVERY
SINGLE ASYLUM SEEKER BORDER
CROSSER, TO A SPECIFIC POINT.
WHAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
HAS CREATED AN UNOFFICIALLY
POINT OF ENTRY SO BORDER PATROL
AGENTS TO PROCESS ILLEGAL
ALIENS.
WE HAVE A LEGAL POINT OF ENTRY,
BUT THE ADMINISTRATION HAS
CREATED UNOFFICIAL PORTS OF
ENTRY, BETWEEN PORTS OF ENTRY,
WHERE WE CAN NOW PROCESS
ILLEGAL ALIENS AND
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS PART OF
THE PLAN AND THIS SECTION OF
THE WALL DOES WITH LITTLE TO
SECURE THE BORDER.
>> YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW THIS
FAR BETTER THAN I, BUT I KIND
OF SENSE IN THE ADMINISTRATION
THEY DON’T LIKE THE WHOLE
CONCEPT OF A WALL, THAT IT’S,
YOU KNOW, IT’S UGLY AND THEY
DON’T LIKE THE NOTION BEHIND IT
YOU’RE TRYING TO KEEP PEOPLE
OUT, YET, WALLS DO WORK, WHERE
WE’RE HAVING MIGRANTS SURGES
ARE AREAS WHERE THERE IS NO
WALLS.
AND I’M JUST WONDERING, WHY GO
THROUGH HOOPS DEBATING WHAT
CLEARLY SEEMS TO WORK, NO
MATTER WHETHER YOU CONSIDER IT
AN EYESORE OR NOT?
>> WELL, WE DO KNOW THAT
THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF POLITICAL
CONVERSATIONS REGARDING SENATOR
MARK KELLY AND SENATOR MARK
KELLY PUSHING FOR THIS SECTION
OF THE BORDER WALL IN ARIZONA
AND ABLE THERE IS SOME
POLITICAL AGENDA BEHIND THIS
PART OF THE WALL IN ORDER TO
SEEK SOME TYPE OF SUPPORT FOR
SENATOR MARK KELLY, BUT THAT’S
SOMETHING THAT USUALLY HAPPENS
WITH THESE BORDER ISSUES.
WE WOULD CALL FOR BORDER WALLS
ALONG THE LAREDO SECTOR, THE
LAREDO HAS ZERO MILES OF BORDER
WALL, ZERO INFRASTRUCTURE AND
THE PROBLEM, NEIL, WE CAN GET A
BORDER WALL IN CERTAIN PARTS OF
THE BORDER, BUT WE CAN GET
TECHNOLOGY AND YOU REMEMBER A
LOT OF THE DEMOCRATS IN THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, THEY
PROMISED US, THEY WESTBOUND
BUILDING A VIRTUAL WALL AND
THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN THE
ALMOST TWO YEARS OF THE
ADMINISTRATION, AND
UNFORTUNATELY, THE BORDER
PATROL AGENTS AND THE CITIZENS
THAT LIVE ALONG THE BORDER
COMMUNITIES ARE LEFT HOLDING
THE BAG WITH ALL OF THESE
PROBLEMS THAT ARE CREATED WITH
THESE BORDER SECURITY POLICIES.
>> HECTOR, I HAVEN’T HAD A
CHANCE TO TALK TO YOU SINCE THE
HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY
ANNOUNCED THAT THE BORDER IS
SECURE.
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THAT?
>> THAT’S A FLAT-OUT LIE TO THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC.
WE SEE EVERY SINGLE DAY WHERE
THE BORDER IS DEFINITELY NOT
SECURE.
NOT ONLY ARE WE SEEING AN
UNCONTROLLABLE AMOUNT OF ASYLUM
SEEKERS THAT ARE ALLEGEDLY
SEEKING ASYLUM, BUT WE’RE
SEEING UNTOLD THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF ILLEGAL
NARCOTICS COMING ACROSS THE
BORDER.
WE’RE ALSO SEEING SO MANY
CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS THAT
ARE GETTING AWAY WHEN THEY
CROSS THE BORDER ILLEGALLY.
SO, IT’S TOUGH TO BELIEVE
WHAT’S COMING OUT OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION’S MOUTH WHEN
THEY SAY THAT THE BORDER IS
SECURE WHEN WE ALONG THE BORDER
ARE SEEING THE DISASTERS
CREATED DUE TO AN UNSECURE
BORDER.
WE’RE SEEING DAILY DEATHS WITH
ILLEGAL ALIENS INVOLVING HUMAN
SMUGGLING EVENTS, WE’RE SEEING
POLICE PURSUITS ALONG THE
SOUTHERN BORDER ON A DAILY
BASIS, SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.
FOR THIS ADMINISTRATION TO COME
OUT AND SAY THE BORDER IS
SECURE, IT’S A FLAT-OUT LIE TO
THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.
WE WOULD WELCOME THEM TO COME
TO THE BORDER AND TALK TO THE
REAL BORDER SECURITY
PROFESSIONALS AND SEE WHAT’S
HAPPENING ON THE BORDER.
NEIL: WHY DON’T YOU THINK THEY
DO?
>> WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, IT’S
ALL POLITICAL.
THESE POLITICIANS, DEMOCRATS,
AND BIDEN ADMINISTRATION,
THEY’VE PUT POLITICS AHEAD OF
THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC.
THEY’RE JUST TRYING TO SECURE
THEIR ELECTIONS AND WE KNOW
WE’VE GOT THE MIDTERMS AND
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, WE’LL HAVE
PRESIDENT TRUMP RUNNING AGAIN
AGAINST THESE DEMOCRATS, BUT
IT’S ALL ABOUT POLITICS AND
UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE
FORGETTING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF
THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.
THEY’RE FORGETTING ABOUT THE
BORDER COMMUNITIES ARE BEING
RAVAGED BY HUMAN AND DRUG
SMUGGLING INCIDENTS AND
CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS ARE
TAKING OVER OUR COMMUNITIES AND
UNFORTUNATELY, OUR CHILDREN,
OUR FAMILIES, OUR NEIGHBORS,
AND PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY DYING
BECAUSE OF THIS CRISIS.
NEIL: A LOT OF THESE TOWNS AND
CITIES NORTH OF TEXAS DON’T
THINK TOO KEENLY WHEN THE
GOVERNOR, GOVERNOR ABBOTT,
SENDS THOSE SAME MIGRANTS AND
THOSE TRYING TO CROSS INTO THE
COUNTRY INTO THEIR NECK OF THE
WOODS AND THEN IT’S A VERY
DIFFERENT CRISIS, ISN’T IT?
>> WHAT’S IMPORTANT IS THAT
GOVERNOR ABBOTT AND GOVERNOR
DOOCY FROM ARIZONA, THEY
CONTINUE SENDING THESE ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS TO WASHINGTON D.C.,
NEW YORK.
SO THEY ACTUALLY KNOW HOW THESE
ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE TAKING UP
THE LOCAL RESOURCES FROM THE
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE MEANT FOR
THE PEOPLE OF THOSE TOWNS AND
THOSE COMMUNITIES.
NOW, WE KNOW THAT GOVERNOR
ABBOTT HAS BEEN DOING AN
AMAZING JOB AND PROVING A POINT
THAT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION THAT’S
OUT OF CONTROL ACTUALLY CREATES
PROBLEMS IN COMMUNITIES AND IT
TAKES SERVICES AWAY FROM THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE PAYING FOR
THOSE SERVICES, WHICH IS THE
TAXPAYER, AND UNFORTUNATELY,
THESE ILLEGAL ALIENS THAT
RAVAGE THESE COMMUNITIES, DO
TAKE A LOT OF THE HEALTH CARE
RESOURCES, EDUCATION RESOURCES
AND UNFORTUNATELY AM OF THE
ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE VICTIMIZED
BECAUSE WHAT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION DOES, WE SEND
THESE ILLEGAL ALIENS TO THE
COMMUNITIES AND ILLEGAL ALIENS
ARE VICTIMIZED BY THE CARTELS
THAT CONTROL THE COMMUNITIES IN
THE UNITED STATES.
THIS IS JUST A BIG PROBLEM
OVERALL AND UNFORTUNATELY, NOS
POLICIES OF THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IS AFFECTING
REAL PEOPLE LIKE US IN LAREDO,
TEXAS AND REAL PEOPLE IN
NORTHERN STATES IN THE UNITED
STATES AND QUITE FRANKLY NEEDS
TO STOP AND THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION NEEDS TO PUT THE
SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE
