lobe. i believe he has frontal lobe deterioration. why are you opposed to the wall? you have 188 mile wall here now well as you can see, tell me, is that a wall? 188 mile all here, you consider racist? you know what? to be honest with you, we ve kind of almost forgotten that there was this wall. really donald trump s advocacy for the wall offends you. exactly. i m third, fourth, generation next it can. i was born here, my parents were born here, my grand faparents w born here. you re a fourth jen rapings american. american, there you go do you believe the wall is racist? yes, yes. 188 mile wall that s here is racist? yes i do. the drugs they intercepted at the border dropped by half when this wall went up. is that a good thing for the community? i believe, yeah. i mean we don t need to have illegal drugs coming through the
system t the border patrol, they have the ability to do their job. they say they want more fence fg, they want to increase this. they want a physical barrier, they believe that will and has helped their efforts. would you support that if that s what they think they need? no. about. no. laura, this was quite a crew. in my research, no matter how you feel about this wall, you know, in el paso, the crime arizona pbs is providing a% in the two years after the wall was built. following construction, the number of deport able aliens has fallen by 89% five years after that wall was erected. from 2010 to 2018 the amount of drugs seized was cut in half. so i mean you have to have an honest debate. you see the conflict. some people support the wall but they hate the idea that donald trump is supporting it. laura: let s talk turkey here. when you really dug into it,
they seemed like nice people but when you dug into it with them, it was trump s connection to the idea of a wall right. laura: are they chaining themselves to the wall on a daily basis when the cameras aren t there? no, because it actually works for the community. and as you and i found up until this morning when we left el paso, the law enforcement, border patrol, ice, all the folks we talked about 100% support the laura: they were adamant that this wall had to stay o a point that was made, this is because we have a large federal presence. and a large law enforcement presence in el paso. that obviously makes it less hospitable for crime and criminals it s part of the reason that crime has fallen off. laura: yeah, absolutely. as for the crowd sizes, it did get bigger for beto later on. he had some thousands, i don t know how many thousands, a
security. laura: oh really? so walls kill people! well last year there were 1247 people slaughtered in a vashs fashion many of them by the cartels and other criminals across the border in juarez. that was a 62% jump from the year prior. it s a killing field there. so beto can t possibly mean we should tear down the current wall in el paso, can he? well think again. remember this gem that then congressman o rourke sent out in 2015? it read tear down this wall! oh boy! that s a keeper! well i can tell you that the people we met in el paso last night disagreed vehemently. an under reported fact is about half of the audience at the trump rally were themselves hispanic. and they most certainly do not want the wall between the cartel run juarez and el paso torn
back pay to federal contractors who were caught in the middle of the recent shut down. it s unclear if law makers would be successful in getting the provision included. now i m hearing tonight that that could destroy any possibility of this thing even going forward. but people have to understand we don t even have the language yet and we know stuff gets slipped in, congressman mcclintock at the last minute, it happens every single time to the american taxpayer. your thought laura as long as the democrats control the house nothing good is going to come out of the house of representatives. as long as the republicans have given chuck schumer and the democrats a fill bus search veto over any roappropriations bills we re not going to get a good bill through the senate. the president has statutory authority to the move ahead with the wall. he can draw $13 billion to do so. he has the legal authority to do so. he has the responsibility to do so.
