I just spoke moments ago by the way exclusively with homeland security
secretary Kirsten Nielsen about her relationship with the president and
pressing immigration issues great to have you Madam Secretary thank you for
coming to the set tonight so you had a big fiery hearing on Capitol Hill today
I know that yeah yeah it so it's always fun and so this was this is a big day
for you Kamala Harris decided to hit you on the issue of separating children from
their parents let's watch your agency will be separating children from their
parents and those what we'll be doing is prosecuting parents who have broken the
law just as we do every day in the United States of America I can
appreciate that but if that parent has a four-year-old child what do you plan on
doing with that child the child under law goes to HHS for care and custody
they will be separated from their parents and as I might do in the United
States every day it's the immigration sob story as we call it on the radio
which is not to be diminished these are heartbreaking situations yeah
how do you as DHS secretary combat which the the emotional push on this how can
you do this and you kept saying well basically this is the law how do you
deal with that well it is the law as you know and you know I had an exchange last
week with a different senator that tried to cut me off and so do I know this is
your philosophy and I said ma'am it's not a philosophy it's the law if you
enter our country illegally we will refer you for prosecution we will
prosecute you but as you know for every sob story we have 73 percent border
assault increase we have people like Kate Steinle I mean where is the
compassion for the flip side of this conversation the American people don't
get the same treatment from Kamala Harris and others who will be quoting
tonight in the show because it's always a one-way street and I think those who
are in charge or charged with actually enforcing the law are always meant to be
the bad guys and yet the American citizens elected Donald Trump because
they wanted that situation reversed it's America first you've actually done a lot
in a lot of this doesn't get discussed h-1b visa abuse that's bringing in
foreign worker bees you're working with DOJ
you're working on other ways to protect the American worker one of the things
that is really frustrating is this asylum fraud
we've been documenting it on the show we have American lawyers flying down to
Mexico coaching clients sorry they say it's advising clients what can you do on
an executive level if Congress doesn't get off its backside and get this done
it's really frustrating I've got to be honest I really share the the
president's frustration on this and that of the American people I mean the way
the system works right now the threshold under law is so low that about 80%
passed that initial interview but only 20% are granted asylum by a judge which
tells us that 80% of that is either just a flat-out fraud or somebody who thinks
they can come here because they want a job here that's not Asylum
well I want to reunify with my family that's not asylum well I just would like
to come to the United States not Asylum we have legal ways to do that but it's
not through Asylum but we hear that there might be another Caravan making
its way up from Canberra I don't know where we got the name caravan but
caravan I guess it's a biblical or people are coming up again because they
feel like as long as they get to the border they can get into the country and
they will ultimately be released correct or they not being released well we're
we're metering which means that if we don't have the resources to let them in
on a particular day they're gonna have to come back so they're gonna have to
wait their turn and we will process them as we can but that's the way that the
law works once they come into the United States we process them so we've asked
Congress to fix the supona huge gaping loophole that we need fixed because it's
so abused one of the other things that I think is is very frustrating to the
American people is the fact that we have these repeat border crossers people
who've jumped the border multiple times have been deported come back into the
country and yet they still get the oh my gosh what are gonna do about the poor
immigrants our communities are being shattered because of this enforcement
you have actually over seen a huge increase in border enforcement and
workplace enforcement raids and so forth which I think are being welcomed by the
American people but again the media and the Democrats are hitting you for
shattering communities yeah but let's get back to kid Steinle I mean it's how
sad is it that the Congress of the United States can't
pass the law to simply increase penalties for criminals who have been
deported who come back the House passed it we can't get the Senate to pass it
also in communities you know we just broke through a stash house last week
the gentleman had been deported four times and had finals ordered orders of
removal five times and we're still dealing with him because we can't
completely the system doesn't work so he deport him and he comes back which is
why as you know we need a wall what's happening with the national what's
happening with the national guard at the border that was a big controversy here
in Washington I travel the country a lot it seemed again like the people are
saying well it's about time I heard that on radio all the time people calling it
I don't get the National Guard at the border why would get extra help you have
news on more troops now you're going to the border told you that a very
appreciative of the support of Secretary Madison Department of Defense so as you
know we've about 1600 now with our second request we'll have about 22
hundred originally we were focused on Border Patrol support but now we've
extended it so we're going to support the folks at the ports of entry and then
also our Intel and analysis but it's a huge first multiplier a huge force
multiplier the California Jerry Brown saying we're
not going to be assisting in immigration enforcement what are the California
National Guard troops actually doing they they are supporting CBP they're
just doing it behind the scenes there are specific things that we've worked
out so they are supporting we want each governor to do more I've talked to each
governor I talked about once a month to give them the new border figures what
we're doing we'll continue to try to get California do more
we just talked to Bob Goodlatte on the show and he he's very concerned about
these immigration centrists I call them liberally liberal Republicans who are
pushing this new daca amnesty right now and trying to through this discharge
petition work with the Democrats get it rammed through the House of
Representatives at least what do you want Congress to do and this president
to get this immigration enforcement done the right way in order to satisfy his
promises to the American people I think the president has been very clear on
this and it's very easy we need a wall we need to close the loopholes and then
we need the personnel and resources that we need so apprehension without
detention and removal is not border security so we've got to have the bed
so we got to be able to apprehend detain and then remove so that's judges that's
lawyers that detention beds but it's not it's a very easy formula to have border
security when border security is part and parcel to the sovereignty of a
nation how many people about cross the border last month in the United States
family unit yeah so take take the the original Caravan location we have about
a hundred thousand people that cross that that port of entry each day so most
of that is legal traffic but again we're talking about you know millions hundreds
of millions of people that crossed one one about one point one each day between
the two borders so it's a lot of traffic but buried in there of course are those
who are seeking to abuse the system it's a broken system we've got a we've got to
work with Congress Congress it's got to close these loopholes we have a two
hundred three percent increase in illegal border crossings from March 2017
to March 2018 I think by family units overall it's a huge increase what why
what's going I think they know too couple things some of the loopholes are
they know if they cross between the ports of entry that nothing will happen
if they bring kids they'll be released the kids will be released in 20 days
under a court case right if they're criminal they'll serve a little bit of
time but under different court case we have to release them in six months back
into the communities the criminals if they're other than Mexican we can't put
them in expedited removal if there's children involved so they know they you
know they know better than Congress they know better than most of us the
smugglers so they know the loopholes they're exploiting them are you in the
president good now there was some concern last week
he's very impatient for change I've noticed that Madam Secretary it can be a
patient he's frustrated rightly so I mean can you imagine here's the
president of United States saying I want to secure this country Americans must
come first and Congress is saying yet where we
don't have time we're busy we gotta go in recess
you're here for the long haul I am yes ma'am it's great to see you thank you so
much my pleasure I really appreciate thank you despite what you hear from the
media and the left the president and the Republican Party are winning on the
issue of immigration a majority of Americans support tighter border
enforcement are against by the way even increases in legal immigration and
support defunding sanctuary cities now check this out even in California a
new UC Berkeley poll finds that 59 percent of Californians say it is very
or somewhat important to increase deportations of illegals music to my
ears a full forty nine percent support temporarily banning people from majority
Muslim countries from entering the United States do you realize that goes
even further than president Trump's travel ban from just six majority Muslim
countries did I mention that's California
determined to fulfill his campaign promises and focus on Americans first
the president urged Congress on Capitol Hill today as he has since taking office
to tighten restrictions on illegal immigration we are calling on Congress
to secure our borders support our border agents stop sanctuary cities and shut
down policies that release violent criminals back into our communities we
don't want it any longer we've had it the American people have had it it's
about time we end the old twisted approach of catch and release at the
border now for all you common sense voters out there this get-tough approach
makes perfect sense the grassroots I think the majority the Republican Party
is more unified than ever behind this agenda of the President so
leave it to a small liberal band of Republicans to try to splinter the party
just before the midterm elections this is beautiful
and by the way over daca of all things it turns out that at least 18
Republicans you see the rogues gallery there have signed something called a
discharge petition it would essentially give the Democrats and a few liberal
Republicans run of the House floor and the ability to bring several immigration
bills to a vote including a bill granting amnesty to the daca kids now
normally a discharge petition is launched by the opposition party it
requires 218 signatures to engage so in this case
twenty-five Republicans and all the Democrats would need to be in favor to
support it so CNN is reporting tonight by the way that they already have the
numbers to do the discharge position petition but the lawmakers could provide
no evidence to that fact now the peculiar thing here is that the
discharge petition again was launched by Republicans as a challenge to GOP
leadership and of course to the president Florida Republican Carlos
Cabello in Jeff Denham of California notorious open borders Republicans were
the prime movers but the petition has been signed by
others as well including unbelievably Utah's Mia love we'll heard of texas
mario diaz Villard and Ileana ros-lehtinen of Florida charlie dent of
Pennsylvania whose vote still counts even though he's already resigned fred
Upton of Michigan David Reichert of Washington Colorado's Mike Kaufman Chris
Collins Elise Stefanik of New York and mark Amodei of Nevada New York's John
Catco is also considering signing these representatives should be ashamed of
themselves at this point I mean come on by defying their leadership and the
White House what do they do they demoralize the base
of the GOP and they weaken unity before the midterm elections so rather than
keeping a focus on the economy that is booming these Republicans have decided
it's in their political interest to turn the spotlight to immigration and the
daca kids who cares if it means handing over party power to the opposition to do
it on Thursday speaker Ryan reacted to this discharge petition uprising during
a press conference when we never want to turn the floor over to the minority and
what I don't want to do is have a process that just ends up with a veto we
actually want to solve the daca problem going down a path and having some kind
of a spectacle on the floor that just results in a veto doesn't solve a
problem and that is why I think it's important for us to come up with a
solution that the president can support well the president already offered
something and the demo Cret said no to it last February come on
we all knows from wasting time it's not up to a minority of Republicans who view
it was views by the way did not prevail in the 2016 election cycle - now at this
point try to reset the national debate on daca it's absurd if they want to do
something to actually help America what they should do is urge some more
moderate Democrats to help reform let's say the asylum process that is being
abused today by illegals do you know that asylum applications have increased
by seventeen hundred percent over an eight-year period alone huh I wonder why
that's happening at a moment when the Real Clear Politics average now has the
generic ballot tightening from a previous 13-point advantage for
Democrats to basically within the margin of errors they're basically a dead heat
now this is not the moment to distract voters from their number-one priority
the economy to allow this discharge daca petition to proceed could be a midterm
turnout killer and it will splinter the party focus on the things that are
working and the things that will win you the majority in November keep the
majority jobs wages safety and yes pocketbook issues so if you're upset
like I am about what these liberal Republicans are trying to push call your
Congressman call your congresswoman tell them how you feel about this this
parliamentary stunt will not go down well with the GOP base I can tell you
that right now my radio lines were ringing off the hook today you would
think by the way that Republicans just just back up for a moment would learn
their lesson at this point after that disastrous twenty two thousand seven
excuse me Bush McCain amnesty that went down in flames a lot of us on talk radio
were up in arms about that and led the revolt against that and after the
disastrous 2013 Schumer Rubio gang of eight fiasco that amnesty behemoth was
so bad even Rubio himself disowns it now Lisi learned his lesson Republicans as
the party power have a real chance to break the
midterm election curse not lose many seats maybe not lose any maybe even pick
up a few seats but only if the amnesty fanatics are defeated once again
