00:02:47.000 Yeah, I want to be like her, just like her.
00:02:50.000 You want to be just like Ilhan Omar?
00:02:51.000 Yeah.
00:02:52.000 What's your name?
00:02:52.000 Ayub.
00:02:53.000 What is it?
00:02:54.000 Ayub.
00:02:54.000 Ayub.
00:02:55.000 How do you spell that?
00:02:56.000 A-Y-U-B. Ayub.
00:02:58.000 So, you guys like Ilhan Omar?
00:03:00.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:02.000 Why?
00:03:04.000 Because she's one of us.
00:03:06.000 She's from Somalia.
00:03:10.000 She's one of you?
00:03:11.000 Yeah, she went there by immigration, by refugee.
00:03:18.000 Then she became a congresswoman.
00:03:20.000 So I want to be like her.
00:03:24.000 You want to be in politics?
00:03:25.000 You want to go work in politics in America?
00:03:27.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:29.000 Or anything.
00:03:31.000 For now I don't have any choice.
00:03:34.000 But if I go there and I find the space to be a politician, of course, yeah.
00:03:40.000 How old are you?
00:03:41.000 I'm 20.
00:03:43.000 How old are all of you?
00:03:45.000 I mean, 24.
00:03:46.000 24?
00:03:47.000 24.
00:03:48.000 24.
00:03:49.000 25.
00:03:54.000 So, let me ask you.
00:03:59.000 So, you know, you live in Somalia.
00:04:02.000 You're a Muslim, right?
00:04:02.000 Yeah.
00:04:04.000 And, you know, Ilhan Omar is a Muslim as well.
00:04:07.000 What do you think about Jewish people and Christian people?
00:04:11.000 Just people like us.
00:04:13.000 Muslims.
00:04:14.000 Religion doesn't matter.
00:04:17.000 Everyone has his choice to become a Muslim, Christian, Guish.
00:04:21.000 Doesn't matter.
00:04:23.000 Not in Somalia, though.
00:04:25.000 Yeah.
00:04:25.000 There's a lot of persecution in Somalia.
00:04:27.000 A lot of people...
00:04:28.000 No, no.
00:04:29.000 Yeah, because it's not the government.
00:04:32.000 It's some terrorist guys who are there.
00:04:35.000 We came from there because of terrorism.
00:04:38.000 So you're coming because you're trying to escape terrorism?
00:04:41.000 Yeah, of course, yeah.
00:04:43.000 We met some people from Afghanistan whose family were murdered by the Taliban.
00:04:48.000 Has any of your family been attacked by terrorists in Somalia?
00:04:52.000 My uncle was killed by terrorists.
00:04:54.000 By what, ISIS al-Shabaab?
00:04:56.000 Yeah, al-Shabaab.
00:04:57.000 Al-Shabaab.
00:05:07.000 It's not safe there.
00:05:21.000 It's not safe.
00:05:24.000 Are you all related?
00:05:26.000 No.
00:05:27.000 Just friends.
00:05:28.000 Did you travel together?
00:05:29.000 We met everyone.
00:05:31.000 We met some places.
00:05:32.000 So we came here.
00:05:33.000 And everybody's from Somalia?
00:05:35.000 Yeah.
00:05:36.000 What about your family?
00:05:39.000 My family.
00:05:41.000 My mother is in Somalia.
00:05:45.000 And then my brother is somewhere in Kenya.
00:05:49.000 How did you learn English?
00:05:52.000 I was...
00:05:53.000 I went to school.
00:05:55.000 Yeah, I went to school.
00:05:56.000 In Somalia?
00:05:57.000 Yeah, and in Kenya.
00:05:59.000 Oh, in Kenya.
00:05:59.000 You went to school in Kenya?
00:06:00.000 Yeah, and Somalia too.
00:06:03.000 So all of your family, for the most part, is still in Somalia, in Kenya?
00:06:07.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:06:08.000 And you made this trip alone?
00:06:10.000 Yeah.
00:06:12.000 Did it cost a lot of money?
00:06:13.000 I mean, you said it did?
00:06:14.000 15,000.
00:06:15.000 15,000.
00:06:16.000 That's a lot.
00:06:18.000 How did you get the money?
00:06:20.000 I mean, you said you're 20 years old?
00:06:23.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:06:23.000 That's a lot of money.
00:06:24.000 Most people here, even in the United States, don't have $15,000.
00:06:28.000 The people, the relatives in America, the Islam in Somalia, they contribute the money.
00:06:37.000 They told me to start a business, but I didn't see the opportunity.
00:06:43.000 So your family gave you all the money?
00:06:45.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:06:46.000 My family supported me.
00:06:51.000 What kind of work would you like to do in the U.S., besides a politician?
00:06:57.000 If I can go to the offices and do something, it will do me.
00:07:10.000 Anything for me.
00:07:13.000 And what happens you're gonna go and they may not let you in?
00:07:16.000 So what happens if you get detained in Texas at the border?
00:07:21.000 What are you gonna do?
00:07:22.000 There's nothing I can do.
00:07:24.000 If I'm detained, what can I do?
00:07:26.000 Nothing.
00:07:27.000 What do you think will happen to you?
00:07:29.000 Return to me Mogadishu.
00:07:32.000 Mogadishu?
00:07:33.000 Or Somalia.
00:07:34.000 They'll put you on a plane?
00:07:35.000 Send you back?
00:07:36.000 I don't see that as a border.
00:07:39.000 What do you think?
00:07:41.000 You like Yohan Omar.
00:07:42.000 What do you think about Joe Biden?
00:07:43.000 Joe Biden?
00:07:44.000 Yeah, of course.
00:07:46.000 He's a good president, too.
00:07:48.000 Why?
00:07:49.000 You know, I don't follow the American politics, but I can see he's a good president.
00:07:58.000 Do you think he has made it easier for illegal aliens like yourself to come?
00:08:05.000 No, we can't say illegal aliens.
00:08:07.000 It's just refugee going there, seeking for good life.
00:08:12.000 But even if you are identifying as a refugee, it's still illegal immigration.
00:08:18.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:19.000 And so it's a crime.
00:08:20.000 Yeah, because it's trying to help.
00:08:22.000 You understand, though, that even if you want a better life, you're still committing a crime by trying to come into the country.
00:08:27.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:29.000 And how does that make you feel, though?
00:08:30.000 It's trying.
00:08:32.000 It feels me.
00:08:34.000 Better, yeah.
00:08:36.000 You feel good about it?
00:08:37.000 Yeah, yeah, of course, good.
00:08:38.000 Because I'm getting a better life there.
00:08:42.000 Yeah, but other people in America have to pay for that, like the taxpayers.
00:08:46.000 So do you still think it's acceptable to commit a crime and enter the United States illegally?
00:08:53.000 Of course.
00:08:53.000 One time when I get the legal...
00:09:00.000 Identification of America, like passport or citizenship.
00:09:04.000 I'll pay the tax and people can come.
00:09:07.000 So you want to try to get, you want to try to be a legal citizen?
00:09:12.000 Yeah, legal citizen.
00:09:13.000 Yeah, of course.
00:09:18.000 Did you come because of Joe Biden?
00:09:20.000 Did everybody hear about Joe Biden saying, come on?
00:09:23.000 Is that what it was?
00:09:24.000 Of course.
00:09:25.000 That's one One reason we are coming.
00:09:29.000 Reasons are a lot, but one of them.
00:09:31.000 So you came because Joe Biden said our borders are open?
00:09:34.000 Yeah.
00:09:36.000 What do you think about President Trump?
00:09:39.000 President Trump?
00:09:41.000 By the time he was president, I was young.
00:09:43.000 I didn't flow the politics.
00:09:46.000 Who do you think is better for illegal immigrants, Trump or Biden?
00:09:51.000 Biden, of course.
00:09:55.000 Would you like to see Biden win the 2024 election?
00:10:00.000 Of course.
00:10:01.000 Why?
00:10:01.000 I hope he comes back, yeah.
00:10:03.000 Why?
00:10:04.000 Because he's trying to make it easier for us, for the migrants to come to America.
00:10:11.000 For the migrants?
00:10:11.000 Yeah.
00:10:12.000 What do you think about Sharia law?
00:10:14.000 Who?
00:10:14.000 Sharia.
00:10:15.000 Sharia.
00:10:16.000 Sharia law.
00:10:17.000 Sharia law is just...
00:10:22.000 What can I say?
00:10:24.000 Nothing.
00:10:25.000 Do you like Sharia?
00:10:27.000 Nothing.
00:10:27.000 Do you like Sharia?
00:10:29.000 No.
00:10:30.000 Let me tell you, Sharia, that's Arabic word.
00:10:34.000 Sharia means the Koran.
00:10:37.000 So, yeah, of course I like the Koran.
00:10:40.000 Perhaps they do want to just leave for a better life, but what about all the other people that actually are terrorists from these countries that have terrorist sympathies or terrorist ideologies?
00:10:49.000 Are they getting through?
00:10:51.000 Are they being fingerprinted?
00:10:52.000 How are they getting into our country?
00:10:54.000 Terrorist organizations have a lot of funding, obviously, and so it makes it easier.
00:10:58.000 The more money that you have, the easier it is for you to get into the country.
00:11:01.000 You're not going to have to sit around and wait in a migrant camp as long.
00:11:04.000 Because there's going to be smugglers and people who get you in.
00:11:06.000 So how long is it?
00:11:07.000 We just showed you all the people from Iran and Afghanistan and Somalia.
00:11:10.000 How long is it going to be before we have another 9-11 in America?
00:11:14.000 It's coming.
00:11:14.000 And people better wake up.
00:11:16.000 And I hope that these videos really open your eyes.
00:11:18.000 We need to close the borders.
00:11:19.000 They are being encouraged by Joe Biden.
00:11:22.000 You hear the words come out of their mouth.
00:11:23.000 They love Joe Biden because Joe Biden is pushing open borders and is telling them to come.
00:11:29.000 You've heard it from the Iranian.
00:11:30.000 You heard it today from the Ecuadorians, from the Colombians, from the Venezuelans, and now the Somalis.
00:11:38.000 This is a major national security threat and we are likely going to have another 9-11 style terrorist attack in our nation.
00:11:47.000 Hopefully, we don't.
00:11:49.000 But unfortunately, from my conversations with people like Michael Yang and Tom Homan and other immigration experts and national security experts, and also people who formerly worked in DHS, Homeland, FBI, it's here.
00:12:04.000 We have active terror cells in America, and it's only a matter of time before an attack happens.
00:12:08.000 So stay tuned.
00:12:09.000 I'll be providing more updates.
00:12:11.000 I'm here all week.
00:12:13.000 Probably, what, 200 feet walking into the camp and this is what I've already encountered.
00:12:17.000 Just imagine, right?
00:12:19.000 And there's over a thousand people a day right now from the current estimates, from our conversations with Centerfront today, a thousand people a day coming in through the Darien.
00:12:29.000 Just imagine.
00:12:30.000 Imagine.
00:12:31.000 You're not going to really be able.
00:12:32.000 It's not like they have a ton of staff here processing.
00:12:34.000 There's going to be people that slip through the cracks.
00:12:36.000 There are people that are slipping through the cracks.
