From the March 24, 2021, edition of America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer & Dana Perino
BILL HEMMER (ANCHOR): Here is Tom Homan. I don't know if you heard him earlier in the hour. He was hot on fire. This was his issue. Here is what he said about that.
(VIDEO BEGINS)
TOM HOMAN (FORMER ACTING DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT): There is over 1,000 a day -- Border Patrol estimates 1,000 a day are getting away. So there's over 30,000 that are getting by the Border Patrol in a month. Who are they? Do they have COVID? Are they criminals? Are they carrying drugs -- fentanyl and opioids? That's what makes this a national security crisis.
(VIDEO ENDS)
HEMMER: How much money are they making do you think, Derek, based on all that?
DEREK MALTZ (FORMER DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL): Millions of dollars a week just from the migrants, but they're making billions of dollars. You saw Chapo Guzman on Forbes' richest people in the world. But here's the bigger picture, Bill: The Chinese are using the Mexican cartels as proxies to destabilize America by killing our youth, right? They're providing the chemicals, they're moving the money for the cartels. It is just like Iran uses Hezbollah as proxies. This is a national security threat and, unfortunately, the mainstream media is not covering the topic. They're covering it up. Tom Homan is an expert, he knows what he's talking about. Brandon Judd is an expert from Border Patrol. He said that Trump had the migrant crisis resolved basically with the migrant protection protocols that have been eliminated. So we have a very serious situation, but the kids are being exploited with the human traffickers and the drug smuggling, and it is really, really scary times.
