President Biden's executive action on the border being met with
criticism over the timing and the amount of illegal crossing
still being allowed.
My next guest posted this thread on X on why
this order won't work.
Writing quote, a cap of
2500 illegal crossings a day is more than a million
a year.
How does that shut down the border?
This is what the Biden administration is normalizing,
a boom for cartels and smugglers rights.
Chad Wolf. Joining me now is the man himself,
former acting Homeland Security secretary and America First Policy Institute
executive director,
Chad Wolf. Chad, great to see you.
Thank you so much for being here.
I don't understand. We know that 10 million people at
least have come into this country illegally on Joe Biden's
watch.
Why is is he allowing
2500 a day further and and saying that that is
going to secure the border?
Yeah, it's a great question.
Obviously, the goal should be 00 illegal apprehensions,
0 individuals coming into the country illegally.
The idea of somehow allowing and legitimizing
2500 a day, that's almost a million
a year. It, it, it defies logic.
It doesn't make any sense.
It also signifies to the cartels and others that up
until
2500, we're likely not going to do much.
It's going to be business as usual as it has
been for the past 3 1/2 years.
And only after a certain
figure is hit, then the United States will start to
take action.
It's the wrong signal. It's the wrong approach.
It does nothing to stop,
catch and release the asylum abuse,
the parole abuse and everything else that is incentivizing these
migrants to come.
Kusha. Yeah. Chad, I mean,
you're exactly correct in terms of all the issues with
this executive order.
I mean, why don't we have catch and release,
especially criminals who like the two,
like the individual who shot the two police officers in
New York City.
I mean, that wasn't incorporated into the executive order.
What do you make of all of that,
you know, in terms of an assessment here?
Well, again, what we see from this executive order is
the administration managing the situation.
They're not actually trying to solve the issue.
And solving the issue means how do we stop the
flow?
How do you disincentivize individuals from coming?
How do you hold people accountable for when they do
come?
All this is is a cap,
and it's a cap that allows the Biden administration to
turn individuals back around quickly.
But what they're not telling the American people is at
the same time they're doing that,
they are allowing untold numbers of individuals through ports of
entry every day through the CBP One app and through
the use of parole authority.
And so the flow is not diminishing.
It's not going to stop.
They're simply rerouting these individuals from the desert and from
the Border Patrol,
which are which is this Cap
2 ports of entry. And so
the flow is going to continue.
And it doesn't, as you indicate,
it doesn't address those public safety threats that are coming
across the border
and the national security threats either.
I mean, the other thing is about all the unknowns,
you know, these unknowns of the people who got away,
2 million people apparently got aways.
Or how about the unknown of
50,000 Chinese nationals coming into America just since October?
What is that about? Is Xi Jinping creating his own
mini army here in America?
What do you make of that?
Well, there's certainly something at play when you see that
increase in Chinese nationals coming across the border in about
12 to 18 months.
The number went from about 1000 per fiscal year to
upwards of
25,000 in a fiscal year.
So something is at play here.
There's something organized going on.
And again, the Mexican government is allowing this to happen.
They know that it's happening.
You can't have that many individuals come into your country,
fly into your country, and then cross illegally on your
northern border,
our southern border, without some knowledge,
without the government knowing. And so look,
it's time for the New Mexican government,
which won't be in power just yet.
It's time for them to do something as well.
But again, the God aways
will continue to increase because what you're going to see
from this cap is individuals get turned around.
They're simply going to come into the country as God
aways because
they, you know, they're going to want to get in
one way or another.
And we're not, again, disincentivizing them to come.
Yeah. All right. Well, we went on the streets and
in Bartiromo Blvd.
and asked peoples about Biden's executive action.
Watch this.
Whatever he does is just like,
I'm not even really paying attention to it.
I'm really focused on the Donald Trump.
It's a balance about being
safe, Ansari. I've seen shows where people cross and it's
it's very deadly and dangerous.
So trying to dissuade people from coming through that because
it's their it's their risking their life.
This is a great country,
you know, and people want to come here.
And so ideally they follow the rules because that's what
you do here in America.
He's already screwed everything up.
So now he's out there saying,
oh, he's going to shut down this and shut up.
Hattie had just left everything like Trump had set up
in the first place to keep America safe.
We wouldn't be in the mess we are today.
Illegal aliens coming in have more rights
and are getting more of our taxpayer dollars to allow
them to come in.
I see them sometimes on the street homeless.
It's such a political hotbed.
I think taking a strong stance
is where we have to start.
It's affecting our whole country and it's something that we
have to really get behind.
He could have done this a long time ago.
He said he couldn't, but obviously he can't.
So why didn't he do it?
Wow. Look at the sentiment of the ordinary people on
the street.
Trisha, jump in here. I mean,
this is not this is just people in New York
that that my team went on and around and asked
people.
They are ripping mad over the state of this economy,
the state of this country and what we're seeing from
the Biden.
You're right, people are pissed.
And this is New York City.
Yeah, exactly. I mean,
it's so alarming though. Maria
Gordon Chang was on earlier today and he was talking
about,
you know, the Intel and
really the spying that's happening through our military,
them trying to recruit these new pilots and get information
to into our technology.
And then you have 50,000 Chinese nationals coming over illegally.
You have to wonder just since October,
you have to wonder what's going on.
But Chad, you and Christian talked about the litany of
exceptions
for a lot of these illegal immigrants.
Talk more about the CBP One app because that seems
like another loophole that's going on here.
It seems like it allows another
1500 people come in daily.
When is enough enough?
Yeah, not only the CBP One app,
but also the parole. Look,
they're flying in upwards to 40,000 individuals every single month
into US communities under the guise of parole,
which is an unlawful use of parole.
They're exempting unaccompanied alien children of what we call UA
CS from this.
So you're going to see continuing to see human trafficking
of children on a scale that we have never seen
before.
Almost 500,000 children have come into the United States trafficked
in the last 3 1/2 years because of the policies
of the Biden administration.
So, look, the clips that you showed,
the American people aren't stupid.
They're not going to forget for the past 3 1/2
years,
it was this president in this
administration's policies that created this crisis.
And now they stand up at the White House with
a sign that says securing the border.
It's exactly the opposite of what they've done and purposely
for the past 3 1/2 years.
Yeah. Fox News is Bill Malusion,
meanwhile, caught up with a group of illegal migrants crossing
the border this week.
And this was after Biden's executive order came down.
Watch this.
Jordan. Jordan. Yeah. Why'd you come to Egypt?
Why'd you come to America?
For a job. For a job?
Yeah. You know it's illegal to cross the border like
this,
right? Yeah.
You don't care. Yes. I'm
OK. Chad, your reaction?
Well, I mean, they know what the rest of the
world knows,
that there's no consequence and that that's what this is
at the end of the day,
there's no deterrence and there's no consequence.
These individuals know that it's illegal,
but they don't care because they know that they will
be released into American communities probably 48 to 72 hours
after they're picked up by the Border Patrol,
if they are picked up at all.
And that's just the reality.
We can talk about asylum and parole and all these
other immigration terms,
but what these immigrants are migrants and illegal aliens care
about most is are they released into American communities?
And you have a 7 or 8 out of 10
chance getting released under President Biden's policies
than you have previously. Chad,
what do you make of the
AG, Merrick Garland, as well as the FBI,
Christopher Wray again this week talking in front of the
Senate saying that they're expecting a terrorist attack on our
soil.
How much of that expectation is now as a result
of the open border?
Well, I think there's a lot that contributes to that.
Obviously, when you talk about attacks to the homeland and
threats to the homeland,
a lot of that originates overseas.
But the question is, how do you get individuals that
are perhaps conspiring and and want to do Americans harm?
How do they come into the country?
There's a variety of different ways that they do that.
But when you have a southern border so wide open,
they are going to take risk and they're going to
take chances to cross that border.
And you only have to look to about the
360 individuals that we've picked up on terrorist watch list
over the past 3 1/2 years or that over 100,000
special interest aliens that we've picked up along that southern
border. We know that bad individuals are trying to cross
that border.
It's just common sense. They embed themselves in the,
in the massive flow of individuals coming across in the
hopes that Border Patrol and the DHS will not recognize,
will not identify who they are and so that they
can come into the United States to do whatever it
is that they're going to do.
So absolutely that southern border and the policies and the
fact that we have record numbers that we have never
seen before
absolutely contributes to the to the state and to the
threat and to the risk for the homeland.
Really concerning moment in time,
Chad, thanks very much for weighing in.
Chad Wolf joining us this morning.
