former acting secretary for the dhs, chad wolf. mr. secretary, thank you for taking time and what a perfect guest to talk about what we just heard from our great reporter, bill melugin, down there. he was talking about the 650 migrants stopped, many of them children. and i can t help but think it s interesting that it coincided on the same day that your counterpart, secretary mayorkas, and secretary blink were in mexico talking about secretary blinken were in mexico talking about border security issues. what do you make of it? the issue we saw with hundreds of migrants in those tractor-trailer trucks is, again, another symptom of this very inhumane immigration and border policy that the biden administration has. again, they don t want to talk concern you don t see officials or the secretary or any other administration official talking about that type of seizure and the pain and the dangerous journey that those migrants are
