Mass Deportation: the Fastest Path to Safety? A Border Insider Explains | The Brief | PragerU

We have never seen the border as secure as it is right now. Like the data validates it. But let's talk granularity for a second. Never mind data. That's one part of it. Let's just talk about what we see on the ground. First off, you have 10,000 National Guard soldiers from Mexico deployed. Now, their National Guard is completely different from ours. Don't try to compare the two. Then you have approximately 10,000 from our side in addition. So that's 20,000 soldiers who are now working what they call mirroring operations. We have never seen that before and collaborating a level from military to military uh protecting each other's sovereignty but also shutting down those halon networks that operate all along that border region. That in and of itself is unprecedented. Then you overlay the new capabilities of US border patrol and the efforts uh from the Trump administration. Look look everyone needs to know that what we are seeing is truly unprecedented. The data validates it but it's really the granularity of the why. It is the the the policies coming from the Trump administration overlaid with operations. You know, the policy is right and that has stopped the immigration issue at an unprecedented level. What is pending though that everyone needs to understand what they're doing in these marrying operations is shutting down the infrastructure of the Halones. Now, the Halones are scouts, falcons, and lookouts. And every day they're doing what they call miring operations. It's where the US soldiers, Mexican soldiers deploy together. I am the only US journalist in the nation to inbed with the Mexican uh special forces along with what they call their secretariat of national defense forces and go up and down that border with them watching as our soldiers along with US border patrol and their soldiers work in tandem on both sides of that borders to roll up and down the river. It's incredible to see as an old law enforcement officer. The other part of this and then I'll close is what you see from those operations is not a lot of arrests. What you see though is the illumination of the networks operating so they can go and attack those logistical cells who for for all your viewers need to understand they use handheld encrypted radios. They use unencrypted radios. They also use uh encrypted apps and that allows them to illuminate those operations through chatter and then shut down those logistics and capabilities that move in the drugs in and out and have had what we call operational control of the border. So it it's a layering bounding effect that has major implications and I can tell you in report it's working. >> So part of that practical shift that you're seeing directly has to do with domestic politics not just with the Trump administration but in particular ICE Immigration Customs Enforcement. Can you talk about the extent by which ICE is necessary to bring about those changes you are describing right now? Because I think there's a lot of misinformation or perhaps deliberate disinformation when it comes to IC's role in tackling illegal immigration and securing the southern border. Immigration and Customs Enforcement now led uh of course by DHS Secretary Gnome, but with the guidance and the strategy through Tom Holman, who is a close uh friend of mine and and someone that I was with Border 911 with speaking across the country, the strategy has been right. The policy has been right. And the look, here's the deal. The leveraging of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enforce the the laws of those who are here illegally and to get them out of the country, that seems like a no-brainer. But you have to understand what that means. It is spreading across the world. The perception and perception drives migration. Don't let anyone lie to you. And I've said this a thousand times. It shuts them down that if they come here, they will be picked up and they will be deported. Why spend all that money to try to get here to put yourself in harm's way with all of these dark networks like the cartels and many others, right? Make that long journey, risk your life just to get here, to be arrested, to be deported. And that layering effect of the great work of the Mexican national defense forces working with US u forces overlay that with CBP overlay that with ICE that effect that that multi-layered layering effect has huge consequences and you see it in the data and the protection of the southwest border right now. >> So so let me push back and play devil's advocate just for a moment. Why should the average American, in your opinion, care about illegal immigrants who are not convicted felons, who they don't view as dangerous or a threat? Why is this an important issue in your eyes? >> And I think it's a great question. The fastest way, and I want to be very clear on this, the fastest way to public safety is through mass deportation.
