00:02:47.200I want to start with a story that the mainstream media doesn't want to spend a lot of time talking about.
00:02:52.840Because it completely destroys the narrative that they pushed for years about border enforcement.
00:02:58.660When Donald Trump ran for office again, he made a very clear promise to the American people.
00:03:04.700Secure the border and remove the most dangerous criminals who entered this country illegally.
00:03:10.460Now let's be clear, this is a story right now that matters when it comes to national security.
00:03:16.100We all know about the real concerns over sleeper cells, terrorists that came in across our southern border.
00:03:22.840that have been activated because of what we are doing in Iran and in the Middle East in general.
00:03:29.600That is a reason why this story of immigration is now coming back to be a much bigger story
00:03:35.520than just people running across the border from Latin American countries.
00:03:39.560There are many people that came across our southern border that was wide open under the Biden administration
00:03:45.100who were, in fact, on the terrorist watch list.
00:03:48.840How do we know that? Because our own government, including during the time that Joe Biden was present, said it was actually happening more than any of us could have imagined that men and women were coming across the southern border and many of them were on the terrorist watch list.
00:04:05.760Now, when Trump ran for office, he said, I promise to the American people, I will secure that border.
00:04:12.220And not only has he done it, but he's done it in the way that many Americans say was a very humane way of doing it.
00:04:19.480Now, he didn't just talk about securing the border, as many others have done in the past.
00:04:25.540And now that promise is being backed up with hard numbers.
00:04:29.620According to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security,
00:04:35.240Enforcement operations surged almost immediately after President Trump took office again.
00:04:40.780In the first 50 days alone, we now know that federal agents arrested more than 32,000 illegal immigrants in nationwide enforcement operations.
00:04:51.380Let me repeat that. 32,000 arrests in just the first 50 days.
00:04:55.600And here's the part that the media won't talk about at all.
00:04:59.240Nearly 70% of those arrests already had criminal convictions or were facing criminal charges.
00:05:07.780These weren't random people being picked up.
00:05:10.180These were criminals, many of them violent and some of them on the terrorist watch list.
00:05:15.400Now, out of those arrests, we also have learned now that more than 14,000 of them were illegal immigrants already convicted of crimes, not in other countries, but crimes in the United States of America.
00:05:29.240Another 10,000 were facing pending criminal charges, not in other countries, but in the United States of America.
00:05:37.680And then when you dig deeper into these numbers that we now are seeing, it gets even more shocking.
00:05:44.680Federal agents were now being told arrested 1,155 suspected gang members in the first 50 days.
00:05:53.42044 foreign fugitives wanted in other countries 29 individuals flagged as suspected terrorists
00:06:01.820yes i'm going to give you that number again in the first 50 days that donald trump was back in
00:06:09.300office 29 individuals were flagged as suspected terrorists that is what the democrats led into
00:06:18.960this country with open borders, and they knew it. Now, the story gets even more disturbing when
00:06:24.160you look specifically at crimes against children, because one of the top priorities of these
00:06:30.220operations under Trump's leadership have been tracking down illegal immigrants who are accused
00:06:35.900or convicted of sexual crimes involving minors. For example, in just the Houston, Texas region
00:06:45.280alone. ICE reported arresting 214 illegal immigrants charged with or convicted of child
00:06:53.240sex crimes in the first six months of the Trump administration. That is 214 child predators
00:07:01.100in one single region. And officials say the number has already surpassed the total arrests
00:07:08.680of those crimes during the entire previous year when Joe Biden was in charge. Now these cases
00:07:15.580included crimes like sexual assault of a child, child molestation, sexual exploitation of minors,
00:07:23.200possession of child pornography, and now we've gotten the newest numbers to add to that base.
00:07:29.560We now know from ICE that 414 illegal alien child sex offenders were arrested in the Houston area alone during President Trump's first year in office.
00:07:44.720Why is the media not telling you this story?
00:07:50.160The headline from the local paper reads this way.
00:07:53.180More than 400 criminal legal aliens have been charged with or convicted of child sex crimes have been arrested in Houston, Texas.
00:08:02.400An official stated parents can sleep a little bit better, knowing those individuals are no longer a threat to their family.
00:08:09.560Now, these are the same people the Democrats want you to feel sorry for.
00:08:12.880ICE announced on Monday that the enforcement and removal operations in Houston not only netted the hundred and no, wait, I'm sorry, the 414 illegals during President Trump's first year back in office.
00:08:26.460But officials said the number almost doubled that of predators arrested during the final year of Joe Biden's administration.
00:08:34.360As a group, the arrested criminal legal aliens accounted for 761 child sex offenses and 525 other criminal offenses ranging from homicide to robbery, the announcement states.
00:08:52.600ICE then listed some of the arrestees who came from countries such as Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, Colombia, and the United Kingdom.
00:09:01.600Now, these are the crimes that have been committed, and some of them are absolutely heinous.
00:09:08.100Illegal aliens have been accused of or convicted of committing crimes against children in the United States of America at extremely young ages.
00:09:16.660One report in January was that an illegal alien was accused of raping a 14-year-old girl with autism in the sanctuary state of California, for example.
00:09:25.860The following month, an illegal alien fugitive was charged with possession of child sexual abuse material, commonly known as child pornography.
00:09:34.880In another case, Texas Highway Patrol troopers on horseback tracked and arrested an illegal alien on a remote border ranch in Maverick County on New Year's Day.
00:09:45.800The troopers closed in on their target just outside of Eagle Pass, Texas, shortly before noon.
00:09:51.320Troopers identified the man as a previously deported illegal alien.
00:09:55.260a convicted sex offender with multiple convictions for child-related sexual crimes.
00:10:02.740ICE has also arrested 1,505 illegal aliens in November,
00:10:07.640including gang members, child rapists, and foreign fugitives the outlet also reported.
00:10:12.580And there's also, yes, more on the terrorist watch list.
00:10:16.800Now, regarding the 414 illegal aliens convicted of or charged with child sex crimes
00:12:31.980That is the plan of the Democratic Party.
00:12:34.660Now, the president of the United States of America
00:12:36.360has one thing that is really working to his advantage.
00:12:40.020There is new CNN polling that is out right now
00:12:43.480that says today that Dems are pulling worse on immigration than they did during Trump's first term in office.
00:12:54.240Which party do you trust more on immigration?
00:12:57.280Take a listen to this from CNN's own reporting.
00:13:00.160I think it's so important to note, after all the events in Los Angeles, after all the events in Minneapolis,
00:13:05.340after all the events of the last year on immigration, can Democrats actually take advantage on this issue?
00:13:11.580And a look at the polling suggests, actually, no, they're in a worse position than they were at this point during Donald Trump's first term.
00:13:19.320Take a look here. Trust which party more on immigration.
00:13:21.700In 2018, Democrats had an edge of about six points.
00:13:25.040You come over to this side of the screen now, look at that.
00:13:27.740Republicans are the ones who actually have an edge on immigration.
00:13:30.440So this whole idea that Democrats are going to be able to take advantage of the immigration group, of the immigration issue, actually doesn't bear itself out in the polling despite everything that's been going on.
00:13:43.320In fact, Democrats are in worse position than they were during Donald Trump's first term.
00:13:47.020Yeah, maybe they don't like what Donald Trump, the president, is doing, but they don't think Democrats will do a better job.
00:13:51.700Correct. They think Democrats will do a worse job on immigration than Republicans.
00:13:55.180All right. What about border security in general?
00:13:57.020Okay, border security in general. So this is immigration at large. What about border security? Look at this. Look at these numbers. Hello, party trusted more in border security. Again, at this point, Trump's terms. Look at this. In 2018, Republicans had a 13-point advantage. If anything, the advantage is a little bit larger now. Republicans up by 15 points.
00:14:14.640So when you put it all together, you put immigration with border security and the idea that Democrats will be able to take the ball and run away on it.
00:14:21.220The polling data suggests, no, no, no, this is actually an issue that Republicans should be more comfortable running on than Democrats.
00:14:28.660Democrats running on immigration may actually be to the Republicans' advantage.
00:14:32.280So you listen to CNN's own reporting now, and now you realize that the Dems are polling worse on immigration than they did during Trump's first term.
