ways to go. bret: senator ernst china has been active on a lot of front. including precursor chemicals to t t the cartel. is there something you are working on this may be addresses that. when we look at border patrol and what we could be providing them, i know, iat have bee i hadn pushing for additional equipment at the border, not long ago that i had a great opportunity to visit port of entry at san diego. this is the world s largest land port of entry that comes into the united states rt of enwe have over 70 thousand vehicles of day there.ents and over tha 22 thousand pedestrians. and you can only imagine that those agents there at
record, but that s very deceptive. it was more like 256,000 because they are now telling folks from haiti, cuba, nicaragua, venezuela, we re going to the parole you, just come through a point of entry. it s funny and ironic when you see these hard left-wingers find the rule of law when it comes to immigration policies when they just have to finish the they re experiencing a flood. pete: part of what s happening here, it s called rocks and road, and there s the map. it s the new york/quebec crossing, and it exploits a loophole in a canada-u.s. pact called the safe third country agreement. and since rocks and road is a specific spot, it s not an official land port of entry, refugees are able to cross over and claim asylum within canada. will: looks like sasquatch has been discovered.

southern border, quote, entirely if he didn t get wall funding. you experienced a situation where the border with tijuana was closed for six hours for some reason and you said the economic impact just to san diego was $5 million. what would the economic impact be for prolonged closure of the border? it would be devastating. we need a safe and security and open border for that flow of trade and commerce, not just for san diego but for california and the country. i ve been pushing for investments in more personnel, the infrastructure itself at the border. we re the largest land port of entry crossing in north america, over 100,000 people every day. we re actually looking at making another border crossing with smart, secure technology. that s what we need to be doing is opening up, building bridges. free trade works.
