BRIAN?
BRIAN: GRIFF, THANKS FOR YOUR
REPORTING.
HERE NOW IS MIKE HOWELL,
HERITAGE FOUNDATION SENIOR
ADVISE ORER FOR GOVERNMENT
RELATIONS.
MIKE, THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
GRIFF’S PAINTING A VERY GRIM
PICTURE HERE.
HE’S TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE
DEALING WITH ON THE BORDER
ALREADY PRE-CARAVAN.
NOW WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THAT
CARAVAN WHICH HAS GROWN TO
15,000 ON ITS WAY.
HELP THE VIEWER UNDERSTAND WHAT
IT’S GOING TO BE LIKE ON THE
GROUND AS THAT CARAVAN
APPROACHES OUR SOUTHERN BORDER.
WHAT IS THAT GOING TO MEAN FOR
BORDER PATROL AGENTS, WHAT IS
THAT GOING TO MEAN FOR SAFETY?
>> RIGHT.
IT’S OBVIOUSLY A CHAOTIC
SITUATION.
THERE’S A LOT OF HUMAN CARNAGE
ON THE WAY TO THE BORDER, AND
WHEN THEY’RE IN THE HANDS OF THE
CARTELS AND THE HUMAN SMUGGLERS,
THERE’S NO VALUE FOR THE
SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE.
BUT WHAT’S GOING TO THE HAPPEN
WHEN THEY ARRIVE TO THE BORDER
IS UNDER THIS ADMINISTRATION THE
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
HAS URN THED INTO DAYCARE
PROVIDERS, UBER DRIVERS.
THEY WILL WELCOME THEM IN,
FACILITATE THEIR ENTRY
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
AND THEN ALLOW THEM TO STAY.
S THE NO LONGER UNDER THIS
ADMINISTRATION GROUNDS FOR
REMOVAL FROM THE COUNTRY SIMPLY
FOR ILLEGALLY ENTERING.
YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
ADDITIONAL AFTER YOU’RE ALREADY
HERE.
SO WHAT WILL THE GOVERNMENT DO?
WE’LL BE THEIR TAXI, THEIR
FLIGHT, AND THEN WE’LL PAY ’EM
BENEFITS AND PRETTY SOON THEY’LL
SHOW UP ON THE VOTING SYSTEMS,
AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THE LEFT
WANTS.
BRIAN: ON THAT POINT, MIKE, THE
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
REPORTEDLY CONSIDERING SENDING
MIGRANTS FROM THE SOUTHERN
BORDER TO CITIES DEEPER INSIDE
THE U.S.
NOW, THE AGENCY SAYS THEY
HAVEN’T MADE A DECISION THE ON
THAT YET.
BUT YOU THINK ABOUT THE PROBLEM
AT THE BORDER, THIS IS THE NBC
NEWS REPORTING ON THIS, SENDING
MIGRANTS FURTHER INTO THE
COUNTRY, I WANT TO LINK THAT TO
THE DRUG ISSUE, MIKE, BECAUSE
WE’RE GETTING REPORTS, YOU KNOW,
237 POUNDS OF METH SEIZED AT
BORDER I THINK JUST TODAY.
FENTANYL’S A HUGE ISSUE.
AS YOU SAID, MIGRANTS DEEPER
INTO THE COUNTRY, MIKE, DOES
THAT THE CREATE EVEN MORE
PATHWAYS FOR THESE DEADLY DRUGS
TO GET DEEPER INTO THE COUNTRY?
>> OH, ABSOLUTELY.
A GENERAL RULE OF HUM WHEN IT
COMES TO HOMELAND -- OF THUMB IS
THAT YOU WANT TO PUSH THREAT OUT
FURTHER AWAY FROM YOUR BORDER.
THAT’S WHY WE WANT PEOPLE TO
APPLY TO COME HERE IN THEIR THE
OWN COUNTRIES SO WE CAN VET THEM
AND ASCERTAIN WHETHER THEY
SHOULD COME HERE IN THE FIRST
PLACE, INTERNATIONAL INTEREST TO
DO SO.
IN THE ADMINISTRATION’S BETRAYED
THE COUNTRY.
THEY’RE GOING THE OPPOSITE OF --
DOING THE OPPOSITE OF A HOMELAND
SECURITY-CENTRIC NOTION, THEY’RE
SHEPING THEM INTO THE UNITED
STATES WHERE THEY WILL BE
DISAPPEAR AND NEVER BE REMOVED.
OF COURSE THIS IS A GREAT
ENVIRONMENT FOR DRUG DEALERS AND
CARTELS TO FLOOD THE SYSTEM WITH
DRUGS.
YOU SIMPLY CANNOT CONTROL A
BORDER THAT IS PURPOSEFULLY
OVERWHELM BY INVITING AS MANY
PEOPLE AS THIS ADMINISTRATION
HAS.
IT IS NOW LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH
IS DRUG OVERDOSE
18-45-YEAR-OLDS.
IT’S UNCONSCIONABLE THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT STAND UP
FOR THIS ABSOLUTE LOSS OF LIFE
SOLELY BECAUSE OUR BORDER’S
BEING OVERRUN.
BRIAN: MIKE, I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP AT DHS
BECAUSE YOU LOOK AT THE POLICY
HERE, IT’S NOT DRIVEN BY
PRACTICALITY, BY REALITY ON THE
GROUND, IT’S NOT DRIVEN BY LAW
ARE.
IT SEEMS TO BE DRIVEN ENTIRELY
BY AN IDEOLOGY THAT HAS A
POLITICAL AGENDA BEYOND BORDER
SECURITY.
YOU’VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME
LOOKING INTO THE POLITICIZATION
OF DHS, WHAT’S HAPPENING THERE
NOW.
TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE FINDING
AND WHAT’S HAPPENING BEHIND
SCENES TO CREATE THE THINGS THAT
WE’RE SEEING, THE POLICY THAT
WE’RE SEEING AT BORDER RIGHT
NOW.
>> YEAH, YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT.
IT IS AN IDEOLOGICALLY-DRIVEN
OPERATION THAT’S BEEN IN MOTION
FOR DECADES.
IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED IN
EUROPE OVER THE LAST COUPLE
DECADES WITH THE MASS MIGRATION
THERE AND THE DISRUPTION OF
THEIR INTERNAL SYSTEMS, THAT’S
WHAT’S BEING REPLY CANDIDATE AT
OUR BORDER -- REPLICATE.
AND THAT IS BECAUSE A LOT OF THE
PEOPLE FROM FROM THE OUTSIDE,
THESE NONPROFITS AND GEORGE
SOROSES AND HIS BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS, THEY’RE DEDICATED TO
MAKING A NEW NORMAL OF MASS
LEGAL MIGRATION.
THEY FUNDAMENTAL HI WANT TO
CHANGE THE UNITED STATES, AND
WHEN IT PERTAINS TO EUROPE,
WESTERN CIVILIZATION AS A WHOLE.
THEY FEEL THAT IF THEY FLOOD
THIS COUNTRY WITH ILLEGAL
ALIENS, IT’LL BECOME A
POLITICALLY BENEFICIAL SYSTEM TO
THEM.
THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN THIS MANY
PEOPLE COME INTO THE COUNTRY,
IT’S DESTABILIZING.
THEY’RE DEPENDENT ON OUR WELFARE
STATE.
YOU CANNOT HAVE OPEN BORDERS IN
A WELFARE SATE.
YOU DEVELOP THIS PERMANENT
CONSTITUENCY FOR LEFTEST
POLITICIANS9.
IT IS THEIR QUICKEST WAY TO
CHANGE IN THE COUNTRY, AND THAT
ISN’T COMPATIBLE WITH OUR
SOVEREIGNTY, SECURITY AND
WELL-BEING.
AND THE FACT THAT OUR,
QUOTE-UNQUOTE, LEADERS ARE DOING
THIS IS A FUNDAMENTAL BETRAYAL
OF OUR COUNTRY THAT, FRANKLY,
I’VE NEVER SEEN IN UNITED STATES
HISTORY.
IT’S UNCONSCIONABLE.
BRIAN: MIKE, WE APPRECIATE THAT
