GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): Judge, imagine you're a country that has a super, terrible gang problem and you have this opportunity to send all your gangs far away and never have to see them again. You would be Venezuela. Why wouldn't you do it?

JEANINE PIRRO (CO-HOST): Yeah, I was going to say. How did you know that I'm Venezuela? I mean, look, we know that. We know that they've been emptying out the jails. They're not sending their best. And I don't mean to even quote Donald Trump, but he was right: They're not sending their best. Look, what's happening now is that the individuals who are here illegally -- I don't care what you see. You can tell me they're asking for asylum, they're not going to ports of entry -- they're like coming down like ants coming down a mole hill in various parts of the country.
