00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:04.500 We all know our country is in crisis. Our southern border is in the control of the Mexican drug cartels.
00:00:10.840 The cartels run both sides of that wide-open border, and illegals are pouring across the border.
00:00:17.100 And why not? President Biden has invited them all in.
00:00:20.760 Biden is spending fortunes on Ukraine, somewhere around $60 billion.
00:00:24.800 And after almost five months of war, Putin is crushing Ukraine.
00:00:30.200 And he obviously means to take at least the eastern part of Ukraine, and very likely all of Ukraine.
00:00:37.100 Biden and his Secretary of State have been inept throughout, seeming to want war with Russia at various points.
00:00:44.140 And Biden diplomacy, such as it is, has been ineffective at best, if not designed to further inflame Putin
00:00:51.120 and harden his resolve to fight on until all of Ukraine is his.
00:00:56.300 And sky-high prices all across this country are creating pain for millions of Americans.
00:01:02.480 Two-thirds of Americans surveyed by Gallup say high gasoline prices are causing them hardship, 0.97
00:01:08.940 while Biden and his advisors say basically get used to it, suckers.
00:01:13.620 High prices for American consumers are the price they pay for the great transition to electric vehicles 0.87
00:01:20.300 and for the new liberal world order.
00:01:23.020 Is it any wonder Biden's poll numbers are in the dumper?
00:01:26.960 And those numbers are historic.
00:01:29.420 Biden's presidency is unraveling before our eyes.
00:01:33.000 And his poll numbers have collapsed.
00:01:35.320 Get this.
00:01:36.380 Almost nine in ten Americans now say this country is headed in the wrong direction.
00:01:42.420 Almost nine out of ten Americans.
00:01:45.000 Only 29% of registered voters approve of Biden.
00:01:49.540 That's a new low.
00:01:50.600 And Biden can thank women for it being that high.
00:01:53.820 34% of women approve of Biden.
00:01:56.840 Only 25% of men.
00:01:59.220 A nine-point gap.
00:02:01.100 Nothing Biden is doing, not a single policy, is working for the American people.
00:02:05.960 Certainly not his choice to roll up our southern border.
00:02:08.820 However, estimates are now that six million illegals will enter the country
00:02:12.780 thanks to Biden's lifting of the Remain in Mexico policy.
00:02:17.400 Joining us today is the former Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, Mark Morgan,
00:02:22.500 a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a great American.
00:02:26.860 Mark, thanks for being with us.
00:02:28.080 I want to begin, if I may, with this radical Democrat running out in Iowa 0.99
00:02:35.000 who says the wall is idiotic and he says illegal immigration is not a crime. 0.99
00:02:41.880 And that seems to be an attitude that's pervasive in the Biden administration 1.00
00:02:45.780 and certainly among the Marxist Dems.
00:02:48.780 Your thoughts?
00:02:49.640 Yeah, Lou, I think you're right. 1.00
00:02:50.820 I think the only idiotic thing is his statement about the wall and illegal immigration. 1.00
00:02:55.620 And, look, Lou, you know this well, 0.99
00:02:57.080 and I think the American people are becoming more aware and more educated
00:03:00.200 how important border security is, how important tools and resources like the wall is
00:03:05.420 to effectively secure our border.
00:03:06.860 I think I understand what Ronald Reagan said back in the 80s
00:03:10.800 that a nation that cannot secure its borders is not a nation at all.
00:03:14.820 And I think the American people are also awaking to the fact that
00:03:18.280 illegal immigration is not separate from border security.
00:03:21.900 And as illegal immigration goes up, resources are pulled off the line,
00:03:25.660 the ability to effectively secure our border goes down.
00:03:27.920 This administration has literally handed over operational control of large areas
00:03:32.480 of our southwest border to the cartels.
00:03:34.440 Criminals are pouring in, drugs are pouring in,
00:03:36.540 and it increased our national security vulnerability. 1.00
00:03:39.060 It's statements like that that are just irresponsible, idiotic, and reckless. 1.00
00:03:42.680 Well, my guess is that this fellow, his name is Mike Franken. 1.00
00:03:46.860 He's desperately behind and desperate for any kind of media attention,
00:03:51.740 and he just got it. 1.00
00:03:52.660 But as you say, what an idiotic thing for any American to say 1.00
00:03:57.560 who cares anything about our nation's sovereignty and our national security. 0.99
00:04:02.620 It's just extraordinary the lengths to which the Marxist Dems have gone
00:04:07.320 under this administration.
00:04:09.120 I think so, Lou. 0.54
00:04:09.840 I think he's like a petulant child, right,
00:04:12.220 where bad attention is better than no attention at all, right?
00:04:16.440 Exactly.
00:04:17.420 And as with Mr. Biden, I don't know what he's aware of and what he isn't,
00:04:22.940 but I do know this.
00:04:24.060 He is intent, absolutely intent, on preserving that border that he opened up,
00:04:30.280 wide open, through which millions of illegal immigrants are pouring. 0.66
00:04:35.380 Yeah, Lou.
00:04:36.100 There's no consequence.
00:04:37.420 There's no national attention on that fact.
00:04:40.860 Lou, I think you're right.
00:04:41.740 And, look, you know, you've been following this for a long time,
00:04:45.340 and I've been very grateful that you have.
00:04:48.000 Obviously, I've been involved in this, too.
00:04:49.600 And when I watch President Biden, I'm torn,
00:04:52.300 because there's a large part of me that clearly from what he says
00:04:55.640 and how he says it, that he actually has no idea,
00:04:58.520 actually, what's going on at the southwest border,
00:05:00.480 yet he's allowing what I refer to as a tremendous amount of ideologues,
00:05:05.080 including Secretary Mayorkas, that's driving the policy,
00:05:08.220 driving our open borders.
00:05:09.800 And, look, for your listeners, it's very important.
00:05:12.520 This is about border security.
00:05:13.860 You can't separate illegal immigration from border security.
00:05:16.620 Again, as illegal immigration goes up, our ability to secure our border goes down.
00:05:20.860 Right now, in some areas, 80% to 90% of Border Patrol agents
00:05:24.600 are pulled off their front line, pulled off their national security mission
00:05:27.780 to really do administrative details,
00:05:31.600 whether it's hospital watch, transportation, or processing.
00:05:34.640 That leaves large areas of the border wide open.
00:05:36.680 Look, I was just watching or listening to it on a hit on another station,
00:05:41.740 and Derek Maltz was on there, former DEA special agent.
00:05:46.200 And, you know, he was talking about the fentanyl.
00:05:48.260 And he's talking about, we know, over 100,000 drug poisonings, if you will,
00:05:52.120 in this country in a 12-month period.
00:05:53.780 The leading cause of deaths between 18 and 45 is fentanyl.
00:05:57.580 And we know 95% of fentanyl comes from our southwest border.
00:06:00.720 But, Lou, what has this president or this administration said about that?
00:06:03.980 Not a word.
00:06:05.440 Not a word.
00:06:06.740 President Trump, your former boss, made it very clear.
00:06:10.880 He was ready to go to war on the cartels.
00:06:13.820 He was ready to launch missiles, as the left-wing media sort of snarked,
00:06:19.720 against those targets in Mexico, for the good of Mexico.
00:06:23.820 And, point of fact, this government will, at some point, have to go after the cartels,
00:06:30.580 if they're going to be serious, about stopping the cartels, the collateral damage of at least 100,000 Americans every year to drug overdoses.
00:06:42.200 Yep.
00:06:42.620 What are your thoughts about that?
00:06:43.900 Yeah.
00:06:44.140 Look, I think that's the discussion we need to be having.
00:06:46.780 I agree.
00:06:47.480 Look, and we're only talking about these drug overdoses.
00:06:49.280 But let's not forget about, right now, I mean, we're well over 800,000 gotaways,
00:06:55.200 illegal aliens that broke on our southwest border, invaded apprehension, 0.77
00:06:58.640 and made their way to every state and town and city in this country. 0.99
00:07:01.660 And among them are some really bad people, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and gang members. 0.98
00:07:05.780 Think about that. 0.97
00:07:06.600 Those are known gotaways.
00:07:07.800 If you ask Border Patrol agents, they'll say that number is well over a million.
00:07:11.320 There's nine states in this country that they have less, either a million,
00:07:15.700 or less than a million in their population of their states.
00:07:19.280 Think about that for a second.
00:07:20.720 And then, of course, the national security vulnerabilities.
00:07:22.960 It was just about a month ago when the FBI said they dismantled,
00:07:26.820 disrupted a terrorist attack to assassinate former President Bush.
00:07:30.340 And they were going to carry that out by smuggling terrorists through our wide open southwest border.
00:07:35.240 So, yes, this is a time.
00:07:37.480 Look, this is about the cartels.
00:07:39.200 This is about the cartels that are absolutely exploiting this administration's open border policies.
00:07:46.080 They're invading this country with drugs.
00:07:48.420 They're invading this country with criminals.
00:07:50.460 They're invading this country with individuals who are facilitating them being able to further carry out additional criminal schemes
00:07:59.020 that are jeopardizing every aspect of our nation's health, safety, and national security.
00:08:03.420 Is there any doubt in your mind that Joe Biden and the Biden administration,
00:08:10.880 all of the bozos who are in all positions of responsibility across his executive cabinet, 0.60
00:08:17.020 they're pro-cartel.
00:08:18.880 There is no other way.
00:08:20.300 They mean for the cartels to be in control of that border on both sides,
00:08:25.000 to be absolutely free, to carry out drug smuggling, human smuggling, illegal immigration, sex trafficking. 0.99
00:08:36.720 It's just disgusting. 0.95
00:08:38.620 There is no end to it.
00:08:40.940 This is intentional, and they are definitively and absolutely pro-cartel.
00:08:47.740 Look, I agree, Luke.
00:08:49.420 This is absolutely intentional.
00:08:51.200 They know what they're doing.
00:08:52.180 But Secretary Mayorkas, let's not forget, he was the former deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security
00:08:58.340 under the Obama then-Vice President Biden administration.
00:09:02.340 I know the data he gets because of Commissioner CBP.
00:09:05.640 He received the same exact data, the same exact daily reports with all the data.
00:09:10.400 The secretary knows that drugs are pouring in, 95 percent of fentanyl,
00:09:14.900 coming through the Southwest border, killing Americans.
00:09:16.660 He knows that pedophiles, rapists, murderers, and gang members are evading evidence every single day 0.99
00:09:21.660 and coming to this country and committing crimes, including killing American citizens. 0.61
00:09:26.520 He knows about the national security vulnerabilities.
00:09:28.720 We could go on and on.
00:09:29.720 He knows about the travesties to the migrants themselves. 1.00
00:09:32.940 He knows that under his watch, over 700 dead migrants along the Southwest border have been recovered.
00:09:38.500 That shatters an all-time record.
00:09:40.420 He knows that 30 percent of young women and children are sexually assaulted on their journey up here.
00:09:45.540 He knows, as you said, that migrants themselves fall prey to victims of trafficking and associated atrocities with that.
00:09:53.320 And what do they do?
00:09:54.280 They turn a blind eye.
00:09:55.680 They know what's happening, but they're driven by their personal ideology.
00:10:00.060 And they don't care about the second, third order negative effects.
00:10:02.920 And I keep saying, how many more Americans have to die and how many more migrants have to die before this administration reverses course,
00:10:11.260 or we force them to, or the states step up and fill the void left by this administration?
00:10:16.700 Well, let's talk about that for a minute here, if we may.
00:10:20.380 Mark, we're looking at a new Mexico, a different Mexico than we had seen just a year and a half ago.
00:10:30.480 So suddenly, Lopez Obrador is now no longer talking about, no longer does he have 26,000 soldiers out working with the United States trying to stop illegal immigration.
00:10:44.880 Indeed, it's the reverse.
00:10:46.100 He's handing out travel visas so they can move through Mexico and get to our border.
00:10:51.700 We have a Lopez Obrador who is suddenly talking about U.S. affairs as if he were inextricably involved and engaged,
00:11:02.040 whether it's taking down our Statue of Liberty because the U.S. government is extraditing Assange.
00:11:10.880 He goes on and on.
00:11:13.380 He proposes a return to the North American Union.
00:11:16.720 He doesn't call that the North American Union any longer.
00:11:20.240 Rather, he's talking about the America's Union.
00:11:24.940 I mean, this is an aggressive approach suddenly that is being taken.
00:11:29.200 You know, they say every nature abhors a vacuum.
00:11:33.960 Biden is a walking vacuum.
00:11:35.680 And now Lopez Obrador is standing head and shoulders above him.
00:11:40.520 Yeah, Luke, look, I think you're right.
00:11:42.120 I couldn't have said it better myself.
00:11:43.720 I think your analysis is spot on.
00:11:44.940 Look, I was there in the administration under President Trump.
00:11:48.480 And I can tell you, as a commissioner, I benefited from the strength from President Trump.
00:11:54.500 And he used that strength and position of global power to leverage that, to really drive Mexico to step up.
00:12:01.180 As you accurately said, at one point, Mexico had 25,000, 26,000 personnel that were deployed to address this global illegal immigration crisis that we had.
00:12:11.820 Mexico strengthened their southern border.
00:12:13.760 They increased their interior enforcement.
00:12:16.080 And they supported our efforts that really helped to secure our borders as well.
00:12:20.000 It was unprecedented.
00:12:20.880 And President Biden came in, and he just jettisoned, he just dismantled all the leverage we had.
00:12:28.560 And also, it was more than leverage.
00:12:30.140 I can tell you, during the Trump administration, we actually had established a lot of effective goodwill with the government of Mexico.
00:12:36.360 Again, I was the benefactor of that as a commissioner.
00:12:39.240 I can tell you, I was working with my counterparts on a regular basis.
00:12:42.740 And they understood the strength of the United States.
00:12:46.420 No more.
00:12:47.440 All the leverage has been gone.
00:12:49.060 And so now, look, I'm not here to defend the president of Mexico, but think about this.
00:12:53.940 We were joined in together to address this global phenomenon, this global crisis.
00:12:59.400 And with our policies, now we've opened up the floodgates.
00:13:02.940 We are actually the ones that are encouraging illegal immigration coming through the government, going through Mexico.
00:13:08.880 So to some degree, the Mexican president says, hey, you created this problem, I'm out.
00:13:13.740 You created this problem, you fix it.
00:13:15.480 I'm just going to be a facilitator like I once was before.
00:13:19.060 Yeah, it is really quite interesting to see the different relationship between Lopez Obrador and Biden versus Donald Trump.
00:13:31.340 Quite a difference.
00:13:33.280 Lopez, I want your insight into something.
00:13:35.720 I'm really surprised that Lopez Obrador is talking about the United States should remove the Statue of Liberty, Breitbart reporting the story, if the United States proceeds with the extradition and prosecution of Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks.
00:13:52.860 Your thoughts on that?
00:13:55.420 Yeah, Lou, I think it goes back to what you were saying overall.
00:13:58.760 I think that if President Trump was still in office, Mexico's president, he wouldn't be making these kind of overstatements, in my opinion.
00:14:07.760 Right.
00:14:08.840 Because he understood where we were at and he understood that we had to work together on a multitude of issues.
00:14:17.820 And so I think just like the cartels and look, I think you can make the same analogies as criminals in the United States.
00:14:24.360 They feel empowered.
00:14:25.980 They feel emboldened to step out, get across their skis and push back in this country with issues in this country that, quite frankly, they shouldn't be getting involved in.
00:14:36.280 But again, they feel empowered.
00:14:37.820 No doubt about it.
00:14:40.460 And I'm very, frankly, I'm torn on the issue of Julian Assange because I'm not sure I understand entirely why this Justice Department, which is a politically corrupt entity without question, is so engaged on Julian Assange and the revelations that originated on WikiLeaks.
00:14:59.960 Because the Marxist left in this country that is driving the Democratic Party wants to shut down in every way possible the American people's right to know.
00:15:13.020 We need to have outlets that are revealing what our government is doing, and we need to know precisely why they are proceeding, because we're not getting that answer from the corporatists, left-wing news outlets, all of the broadcast networks, certainly.
00:15:28.940 And most of the cable news outlets as well.
00:15:35.180 Yeah.
00:15:35.640 Look, I think what's really challenging for me, honestly, I've devoted my entire adult life to public service.
00:15:42.360 As you know, I spent two decades in the FBI.
00:15:45.240 And I'll be honest with you, it's painful for me.
00:15:48.160 But the fact is that in this country, the public's trust in law enforcement, including what I think used to be, you know, I believed as the most premier law enforcement agency in the United States, the FBI.
00:16:01.400 The public's trust has been impacted, even in the FBI and across the board, because of the perception of the politicization, as you said, of the Department of Justice, and using the FBI as a pawn to carry out some of the things that they've done.
00:16:17.740 And I think that does a disservice to this entire country.
00:16:20.220 I think this country understands clearly now, certainly Republicans and independents understand it, that this is a Justice Department, this is an FBI, that has decided that the American people are their enemy.
00:16:35.580 And they are treating us as enemies rather than those who should be grateful to them for their public service.
00:16:43.380 Indeed, their public service amounts to a war on the right, on conservatives, on the Republican Party, decency and tradition in our heritage.
00:16:55.700 It is breathtaking to me, Mark, to see what this Justice Department has become.
00:17:01.240 We have hundreds of citizens as a result of the January 6th demonstrations and rally, and some of them certainly guilty of trespass, at the very least, when they went into the Capitol.
00:17:15.820 But that's not a felony.
00:17:18.840 And we've got people who've been in jail for a full year and a half since that event.
00:17:23.540 And the Justice Department and the judges, I mean, they're overcharging and over-sentencing in almost every instance.
00:17:32.800 Yeah, and Lou, I think what's frustrating for me and what's frustrating, I think, for a lot of Americans is the duality nature of what this administration and this Justice Department is doing, right?
00:17:43.760 I think we're all on board with any violation of the law has to be met with fair, firm, and adequate justice, right?
00:17:51.560 I think the challenge is, is when we look at what happened, for instance, as you're talking about January 6th and what has transpired after that, I remember back in the summer of 2020, right?
00:18:01.820 Remember when reporters, the mainstream media, really extension of the Democratic Party, were literally standing in towns and cities with buildings burning to the ground behind them, and they were referred to as mostly peaceful protests.
00:18:15.880 I remember that as a commissioner of CBP, I sent resources, agents and officers, you know, to the federal courthouse in Portland that was being attacked every single night, and they were literally trying to burn down the federal courthouse.
00:18:28.760 Kind of another important symbol of American justice.
00:18:31.360 But yet, nothing was done.
00:18:33.480 I mean, very few arrests were made.
00:18:36.200 The majority of those arrests were released immediately, within hours, if not the next day.
00:18:40.800 So there does seem to be a factual-based duality of justice here.
00:18:45.820 And I think that is what's really leading to the distrust in the public with respect to what's going on right now.
00:18:53.620 And that loss of trust in our institutions.
00:18:58.000 At this point, I have to be honest, as I try to be in everything.
00:19:04.160 My reaction when I read that story about the trust on the part of the American public of our institutions, my question is, why not?
00:19:14.160 Why would anybody trust them?
00:19:16.160 When we look at what is happening, illegal immigration, we have candidates for the U.S. Senate saying that there is no crime in crossing that border, that it's perfectly fine, that we should not.
00:19:29.080 And it's just the ignorance of it all.
00:19:33.160 And the Justice Department that won't prosecute Antifa, BLM, because they're just rioting and burning businesses and homes to the ground.
00:19:45.680 And they will prosecute January Sixers because they were standing on the Capitol grounds, which, by the way, is not a crime.
00:19:52.980 And they are pursuing as zealots they are, ideological zealots, Marxist left zealots, these poor people and not no one.
00:20:05.820 And by the way, I'm critical of the Republican Party here as well.
00:20:09.220 They should be standing up, my God, doing something for these poor people ensnared in this political persecution.
00:20:17.520 Yeah, I think that's part of the Americans' frustration.
00:20:20.200 I think they're seeing a good look behind the curtain.
00:20:24.220 I think they're being more educated.
00:20:25.480 I think they're becoming more aware of exactly what's going on right now in this country, especially under this administration.
00:20:31.840 I mean, look, let's go back to the border for a second.
00:20:34.360 I mean, Secretary Mayorkas, what made me think about it is what you're talking about, about the law.
00:20:38.580 I mean, Secretary Mayorkas, he's defying the rule of law.
00:20:42.020 I mean, he's ignoring the law.
00:20:44.580 He's creating his own law.
00:20:46.220 He's ignoring Congress.
00:20:47.380 Heck, he's got court orders from a judge, and he's ignoring those as well.
00:20:52.900 And he's actually trying to remove the word illegal from illegal immigration, kind of like the individual we just talked about before, the politician. 0.99
00:21:02.520 I mean, it's just ignorant. 0.98
00:21:03.700 And it's so frustrating. 0.95
00:21:05.780 Look, to break into our country illegally, I hate to break it to this politician, but that's a crime.
00:21:14.540 That's illegal.
00:21:15.440 That's the law.
00:21:16.520 But yet we have individuals, based on their ideology, they don't care.
00:21:20.840 Secretary Mayorkas doesn't care about the law. 0.99
00:21:23.000 He's not enforcing the law.
00:21:24.420 Secretary Mayorkas has actually said, Lou, to be here in the country illegally is not enough to deport you.
00:21:30.680 To have a final court order of removal by an immigration judge is not enough to remove and deport you.
00:21:38.200 It's absolutely absurd.
00:21:40.140 And then they feign like they don't understand what's causing the worst crisis on our southern border.
00:21:46.060 You know, I agree with you 100 percent.
00:21:48.820 And you're absolutely right.
00:21:50.620 And I think most Americans agree 100 percent with what you're saying.
00:21:55.580 But at the same time, the national left wing corporate news media isn't even reporting this.
00:22:03.020 Yep.
00:22:03.160 And I want to ask you a very simple question that I can't get an answer as much as I as hard as I try.
00:22:11.900 Maybe you can give me the answer.
00:22:13.420 Why is it that these planes carrying these illegal immigrants by the hundreds of thousands and distributing them across the country in the middle of the night? 0.95
00:22:24.880 How is it that we can't find anything out about who they are, what they're doing, who's paying for them, who's paying for those planes?
00:22:33.400 Why are they being taken to the locations they're they're being taken to?
00:22:37.500 And who is supporting all of these illegal immigrants that have suddenly got first class charters to a destination unknown to all of America? 0.99
00:22:49.480 Yeah.
00:22:49.800 So so those are all good questions.
00:22:51.460 I can tell you I've been working with some members of Congress, not all, because I agree with you.
00:22:56.180 This just is this isn't just a failure of the Democrats.
00:22:59.200 This is a failure of Republicans and Democrats.
00:23:01.320 But what I'll tell you is right now there is a failure in the immigration law.
00:23:05.240 So the law says right now that the federal government, there is no requirement or mandate that they actually have to tell states who they're dumping off into their states, which is just outrageous.
00:23:16.260 The second thing is, is the reason why these flights are going on, most of them in the middle of the night, is because they're trying to deal with the bad political optics of overcrowded facilities.
00:23:25.540 And the fact that they're releasing, like you said, hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens locally into the communities and they're overwhelming them. 0.81
00:23:32.500 So instead of securing our borders and dealing and reducing illegal immigration, all they're doing is processing and push them into the interior to relieve the bad political optics on the physical border themselves.
00:23:43.340 And look, what's what's happening is taxpayers are funding the majority of this.
00:23:48.640 NGOs, non-governmental organizations are assisting this government.
00:23:51.980 What I've been saying is really complete, completing the last leg of the smuggling operation.
00:23:56.820 You know, before the smugglers and the cartels, once they got illegal aliens across the border, they still had to get them to their final destination.
00:24:05.420 They don't have to anymore, Lou, because the federal government is subsidizing NGOs to do it for them.
00:24:12.060 Incredible.
00:24:12.540 And as you and I both know, there are nonprofits and NGOs, non-governmental organizations, who are working hand-to-glove with the Marxist left in this country to subvert our immigration law, our refugee laws, and to take matters into their own hands.
00:24:35.160 And by the way, undercut or just utterly ignore, as you point out, the states themselves, and they become subservient to the will of NGOs and nonprofits, which is sort of a cop gas moment when you think about unelected officials in non-government organizations and nonprofits are actually in charge of making public policy decisions,
00:25:01.400 particularly in cases of national security, the people who are entering this country illegally and who are being welcomed by some while they are competing with the rest.
00:25:13.220 Yeah, Lou, I think that's right.
00:25:14.980 Look, NGOs, they have culpability here.
00:25:18.120 The Catholic Charities, people don't want to talk about it, but the reality is the Catholic Charities is one of the largest violators right now of that.
00:25:24.720 And we keep saying this is about border security.
00:25:27.740 And what the Catholic Charities refuse to acknowledge, and they're not being honest with American people or those that provide them with donations, is, again, when you facilitate, encourage, and basically provide a roadmap for illegal immigration, you are making our borders less secure.
00:25:46.100 Again, 90% of agents are pulled off the front line doing administrative duties, hospital watch, transportation, and processing.
00:25:53.120 We have literally handed operational control of large areas of border to the cartels.
00:25:58.460 So when these charities, these NGOs, think that they're helping migrants, what they're really doing is killing Americans.
00:26:04.040 And the last thing I'll say is the worst thing we can do is have open borders, not just because threats come into our country killing Americans, but it's also the most dangerous thing for migrants. 0.98
00:26:14.040 So far, Lou, under this administration, more than 700 dead migrants have been found at our border.
00:26:19.280 Again, young women and children are sexually assaulted and abused on their journey.
00:26:23.740 They become victims of trafficking and associated atrocities with that.
00:26:27.500 Have you heard a single word from this president, Secretary Marcos, or any of the NGOs about the dead migrants and the atrocities that they suffer?
00:26:35.080 And why?
00:26:35.800 Because this administration has told them it is worth it.
00:26:39.780 Risk your livelihood.
00:26:41.740 Risk your life.
00:26:42.280 Risk your life, because if you get to our border, we're going to release you and we're not going to lawfully deport you.
00:26:47.860 That's why they're coming.
00:26:49.160 And look, we just heard a couple of weeks ago about the tractor trailer where 56 dead migrants were recovered.
00:26:55.500 How many more dead migrants and how many more dead Americans before we say enough is enough? 0.99
00:27:00.340 Well, that is the question of the day.
00:27:02.920 We always give our guests here, as you know, Mark, the last word.
00:27:08.320 Your concluding thoughts, and we appreciate your time here today.
00:27:12.940 Yeah, Lou, look, first of all, thank you for giving me the time.
00:27:16.140 It's clear that this administration is not going to stop with their open border policy.
00:27:20.840 They're not going to secure the border, and the vast set of threats and complex threats are going to continue to pour across this border,
00:27:27.540 killing Americans as well as migrants themselves. 0.75
00:27:29.760 So, look, so this November matters.
00:27:33.140 We need to get people back in Congress, going to do the right thing to secure our borders.
00:27:36.760 But until then, we really need to push states to continue to step up and do more.
00:27:41.500 Governor Abbott and A.G. Paxson of Texas, they've done more as governor and attorney general than any other governor and attorney general in this state.
00:27:48.880 But we need to continue to do more at the state level.
00:27:52.820 Mark Morgan, former Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection.
00:27:58.020 We thank you for being with us.
00:27:59.860 We appreciate it, Mark, as always.
00:28:01.460 Look forward to our next conversation.
00:28:03.420 Thanks so much, my friend.
00:28:04.620 God bless you.
00:28:05.480 You too, Lou.
00:28:06.400 Thanks, everybody, for being with us.
00:28:08.200 Tomorrow on The Great America Show, we'll have Carrie Lake. 1.00
00:28:11.040 She's running for the Arizona Republican Gubernatorial nomination. 0.97
00:28:15.100 She's leading in the polls, and she's an America First candidate.
00:28:18.640 She'll be with us tomorrow right here.
00:28:20.820 Please join us.
00:28:21.560 Until then, God bless you, and God bless America.
00:28:25.220 Thank you.
00:28:25.760 Yeah.
00:28:26.440 I hope you enjoyed it.
00:28:28.400 Yeah.

00:28:34.300 Yeah.
00:28:34.400 I hope you enjoyed it.
00:28:34.720 Thank you.
00:28:35.140 And I hope you enjoyed it.
00:28:35.240 You know, thank you for your time.
00:28:36.780 We appreciate it if you've seen the time.
00:28:37.840 I hope you enjoyed it.
00:28:38.780 You know, you know.
00:28:39.520 So, you know, rolling there.
00:28:41.360 You know, you know, you know, I think it's usual
00:28:43.320 Итак.
00:28:43.820 I'll آپ statement, but it's great.
00:28:44.420 You know, you know.
00:28:46.120 I think, like, you know, you know, you know, all you know.
