RUSH EXCERPT:
VITIELLO: “Yeah, we went from, in less than a year, think about it, in less than a year, went from record numbers of low activity, low apprehension, low activity at the border, a modicum of control to the worst it’s ever been in the history of the border, 1.7 million apprehensions last physical year. I heard from people on the ground now that they’re above pace for 1.7, so we’ll get close to probably two million this year if this doesn’t change and unfortunately, there’s no signal that it’s going to change. This administration pulled back what was effectively the tools that ended the last border surge and did away from all of them. All at the same time without any preparation, without any augmenttation, we saw what it looked like in del Rio when the haitians were there and when they rescinded the policies, overcrowding in places like south Texas, there’s no end in sight until Congress acts or something unfortunately, something bad happens, maybe they’ll change their mind, but they’re pursuing an open border policy and encouraging people to come to the border and chaos reins. The cartels are in control of most of the southwest border. It’s unfortunate because this is all self-inflected.”
