Judd. And joining us here in our studios in washington, she covers politics and border issues for usa today. And with the first line of questioning, stephen dinan, assistant managing editor of the washington times. Stephen brandon, border apprehension numbers are down dramatically from where they were the peak of the surge in may and june. Im wondering, what happened . Why are those numbers down and maybe most importantly, who gets credit for that . Mr. Judd you first have to take a look at the driving factor that pulls people to come to the United States illegally, and the main magnet that we call it is the catch and release program. Anytime that people cross the border illegally and know they are just going to be released into the interior of the United States to wait for an asylum or deportation hearing they people tend to cross our borders illegally in large numbers.

Protocols or the weight in wait in Mexico Program those numbers have decreased dramatically, because people dont want to wait in another country pending their asylum or deportation proceeding. So once we turned that magnet off, once we ended that magnet, the numbers dropped exponentially. And frankly, the administration, they are the only ones that you can give credit to because they are the ones who cut this deal with the Mexican Government, and i want to be clear about this. This is a deal that any Administration Prior to the Trump Administration would have loved to have had because this is whats going to allow to us allow us to control the border, but you have to also understand that that deal could end at any time if the Mexican Government stops it.
