00:00 We definitely feel your pain. I talked to President Trump this morning and he says

00:05 this is a scam and people will see through it. I think he's dead right. If

00:10 you want the border secured and you're waiting on this group to do it,

00:14 you're going to die waiting. So the policy as I understand it is going to be

00:19 an economic boom for the cartels. This is literally some of the best things that

00:23 could happen for the business of illegal immigration because there's going to be a

00:27 cap where you kind of shut it down every day. So if you're a cartel you're going

00:32 to rack and stack them. You're going to find out exactly how many can get

00:36 through a day. You say who would like to pay more to move up to the line. The

00:40 biggest beneficiary of this policy is going to be drug car human trafficking

00:45 cartels who will charge more to get in the group that's going to go through and

00:49 at the end of the day you'll have to wait longer and pay more but you're

00:54 coming in and if you want to stop the flow here's what President Trump said he

01:01 he will do on day one. They will keep coming until they see people leaving. He

01:08 told me this morning when he gets to be president not only is he going to secure

01:13 the border he's going to deport hundreds of thousands of people here illegally.

01:17 And if you want to shut down illegal immigration those coming need to see an

01:23 outflow by the tens and hundreds of thousands that will deter. The only

01:29 policy change that will work is to have mass deportations because people will

01:34 stop coming when they see people leaving.
