Situation at border rapgdly situation at border rapgdly deteriorating and theres no crisis, but a challenge. This is more than a hundred illegal grants who tested positive for Covid 19 virus at the border of being allowed to travel even further in the country. Is this unthinkable? Is this illogical? Danielle is the president of the initiative SEN, a former Interior Department official under George W Bush? You live right there, Daniel how bad I live a quarter mile from border Brian Look, you know Latinos and Americans, and especially those of us. You know who live along the border want order and control and Ofnl were seeing surges up and down border one hundred and forty one percent in the Big Bend area, one hundred and twenty two percent and sixty five percent along southwest border, so youre, seeing these massive spikes, Brian weve always had serges and spikes, but I think you know it doesnt matter what administration

chooses to call it truth is theres theres a matter of urgency here because it involves now children, some, according to some reports as young as three years old, that are left on other side of the border. So it has turned into a humanitarian crisis and, like I said, it is naive to think that border is going to take care of yourself, whanch youre. Seeing is the walls stop what youre seeing Remane in Mexico over seventy thousand people there, what youre seeing more humanitarian approach to border, but why more humanitarian to tell on unaccompany minors were going, give you a sponsor here and interior of the country? Why is that not more humanitarian causing dangerous situation for those who are opting to make trek to the border and face human traffickers, sexual predators and cartel recruiters? Look that administration is concerning signals to say the

least, that they be laxed in detention and enforcement, and this is a major problem. Look. I think that this situation, I think, is yet another single that the status quo is not serving us well here in America we need a effective, secure and bipartisan reform that focuses on security, but you know, of course, also to deal with future flow of images needed in America who contradict with their industrious, hard work and those are undermining of reform, and I hope it doesnt and remedy the situation quickly. So interesting, Rio, Grand Valley area that won for Donald Trump. They said if you crack down on border, it will come off as Anti hispanic. People know the difference. It is not anti hispanic. Basically, they have the Biden logo. They have

Joe Biden. That says, basically let me in they said american politics. They know who is in charge yeah. You know we can get caught up in false choices of either or stz to be this compassionate open border situation or it has to be just a wall. Look we can do both and secure the border, make sure people get the signal if they are going make that trek theyre going to face strong security measures, but at the same time we need to be flexible and accommodate for flow of grants who are necessary, especially in AG sector and livestock service sector, so needed in America, and again immigrants have contributed to America for so long. We need to do both, but again we put that immigration reform in peril because of this loosens revickses to allow worker visas to come in go into countries. Let people know what the embassies, how to get people here legally and make it safer for everyone at a time theyre telling Americans you have to wash your handle

wherever you go now it wants you to wear two masks. How dare you eat outdoors make your own decision. It is okay to let our southern border with people coming from other lands, testing positive for a virus, not social distancing. You cant have both of those messages out of one administration and expect to have any credibility. Daniel, unfortunately, were going to be back here. It is now March back here in prel and may, and it is Geng to be worse thanks for joining us.
