Border Patrol agents have revealed how easily terrorists and killers
get into the US because
they're being rushed through the migrant process.
Former Border Patrol chief of the Yuma Sector,
that's Chris Clem, joins me now.
Describe what it takes, what it is,
the process. Describe how it's being rushed.
Yeah. Good morning. Well,
warp trains have about 72 hours to get people from
the time they make an arrest.
The time they complete process and to be placed and
out of their custody.
So when you're dealing with with thousands and thousands of
rest a day,
it becomes
a a factory. You just have to get people you
know in and out as quickly as possible out of
custody.
You know that these are the regulations and policies and
it kind of just to the segment leading in this
is the problem with that Senate bill that they want
to revisit. It is about migrant facilitation.
It's not about securing the border.
We need to stop people from even making it to
the border and coming in illegally like they are so
we can actually make America safe and secure our borders.
But yes, border trainers are taking people into custody,
but they have an obligation and expectation coming down from
the White House to the department to get them out
of custody quickly.
But if they've only got
72 hours from the moment they're apprehended at the border
to the moment they're released into society,
that doesn't give them time to vet anybody,
does it?
No, it doesn't. That's the big problem,
right?
When we take somebody into custody,
we take their biometric data,
fingerprints, photographs, we're asking questions,
but it's only mirrored or matched up against a system
that is that,
you know, has data in it.
So if we have people from countries that we do
not have a relationship with,
we're not going to know who they are other than
the information they provide us at the time of the
arrest.
That's the problem. When we hear they're being vetted,
they're not being vetted. They're,
if they're not in our system or there's not an
Interpol match,
they're we've got to take their word.
And you know, and again with the numbers and how
quickly
they just get released. So we've got 8 to 10
million people in this country that immigration process been rushed
through.
They're here 8 to 10 million.
And Trump says we're going to deport him.
And Marco Rubio says he fully supports a mass deportation
of illegal migrants.
Is it really possible to deport 8 to 10 million
people at a cost of estimated at a trillion dollars?
Well, I think I think the,
the short answer is yes,
it's possible. But the reality is,
is you're going to really have to narrow that scope.
You know first and foremost anybody that has
a final order of removal,
OK, some of that's already been deported but never left,
we can go after them.
The folks that have been paroled in under under this
administration because that's controlled by the executive,
we can go after them,
those that are here illegally.
If they are encountered, we can go after them.
But if they've been processed and released for a notice
to appear,
they are in a process,
they have the right to due process.
So there's a good chunk of that immigrant population that
we wouldn't be able to touch until they're hearing.
So it could be done,
but it's going to have to be done very thought
out strategic maybe offer some
voluntary departures and other otherwise put them on notice that
you can you can leave now or we're coming after
you.
But it it's going to take a lot of planning,
a lot of logistics. But the bottom line is Biden
has really changed the face of America.
Like it or not, that has happened.
Absolutely, got it. So thanks for joining us this morning.
Very important subject and we appreciate your expertise.
Come and see us again please.
Thank you very much. Yes,
Sir.
