scam at the border. back in 2015, jorge ramos went to texas, and i gave him a border tour. jorge ramos called it a humanitarian crisis ongoing at the border, and things are really bad nowadays with the caravans. we have this big caravan, at the border in tijuana, another in central america forming already, but people not reporting that we have a silent caravan that has been coming through the rio grande valley in south texas, and where our agents are apprehending everywhere from 500 to 1,000 illegal immigrants per day. what is happening with all those illegal immigrants, we are catching a lot of dangerous drugs and a lot of dangerous criminals. president trump did not say that all migrants were murderers and rapists, but as border control agents, we arrest many with criminal histories, that are murderers and kidnappers and commit serious crimes. texas has done an amazing job in keeping those statistics, talking about that yesterday in
presidential historian, biographer extraordinaire. hearing the president speak of walls, and if it has to have a wall, it has to have a big door, so many people have seized on that part of his farewell address and said c, reagan would be for mass migration, against what trump is doing, he didn t really like the idea of a wall. what about that? you know, laura, there are some things that are moral impossibilities, and the idea that ronald reagan would endorse lawlessness is one of those things. it is a moral impossibility. when he was talking about those walls, that city, that was 30 years ago. he was referring to people who were fleeing communist oppression in southeast asian, cuba, nicaragua, el salvador, many of the people who are coming here, those were political refugees who are quite different from economic refugees that are crossing the border
throughout the border. again, president trump and many people are trying to create the idea that all of these drugs are coming along the u.s./mexico border, through legal points of entry. laura: cartels aren t showing up and saying high matt, i m here you have more than 28 million americans using illegal drugs, this is the largest market laura: your blaming americans? they are going to be sending them. along the border we have some of the safest communities. what he is saying is true, how come come out of the nine members of congress who represent districts along the u.s.-mexico border, how come not a single one of them, not a single one of them, support the wall that the president trump is asking laura: i think there is been a huge graphic change. saying don t support this. laura: that is a fair point. the demography has changed, but the people dispersed, it is not like all 12 million people live
wall on the entire southwestern border, in some places, it is going to be a good idea, and at some places it is going to work, but there are areas that the southwest border that is virtually impossible to put a fence up. you get to the big mountains, the canyons, stuff like that laura: the president has never said put them in the mountains, the rio grande river, excuse me for putting you in pima county, obviously i knew where hudspeth is. we were referencing another sheriff earlier. the thing about this, but i don t understand, just a few years ago, pretty much everybody agreed we needed to do something here, but now, because president trump is in office, it is not barack obama, president trump is in office, it is not bill clinton, who did operation gatekeeper, i was down there reporting on it back in 1996 in san diego. they all knew that was working, guys. so what the heck has changed, hector, a lot of family units crossing the border, drug cartels further enriched by the
