This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Expecting the biggest border surge in decades, they are saying this Secretary Mayorkas says this: we are on pace to encounter more individuals on the south was border than we have in the last twenty years, but the situation we are currently facing is a difficult one. You think. So what do the border communities seen on the ground lets begin sheriff, Mark Lam from Arizona for it first sheriff when people say this is as bad as its been. You been doing this job five years. Could you put it in perspective? Oh yeah, this is as bad as it bad and worse then, the Obama days its like the wild west of there in the desert on the south end of our county. We are back to that again where we can go out almost every time we go out. We are finding twenty people last night and think with forty nine apprehensions in my county. This is just like. It was back in the Obama days, probably worse and on target to be worse, Brian, think about this sheriff. We are worried about coming into the mall and getting encountering someone within
six feet of us and not wearing a mask. Are these illegal immigrants driving with rapid tests? No? No, they are not being tested. Now. Weve got some five page e mail telling us how its not a crisis and how they will do a better job of trying to get these people tested. But look they are not being tested in coming in here with who knows what and then we are having to deal with them in our counties and its unfair at the same time were telling businesses and kids they cant go back to school and cant open their businesses, but we are opened our borders and letting people come in unchecked. Its ridiculous to me, Brian, by the way lets have the numbers back up your words right now. Look in February over one hundred thousand four hundred and forty one and two hundred and twenty one thats up twenty percent from the previous month. One hundred and thirty four percent compared to February two thousand and twenty and the President of the United States, said there was a surge before him in past years, putting it in perspective. How bad is that? What they want to do is
continue to do the blame game. They want to blame President Trump President Trump, never denied. We had an issue at a crisis on the southern border. We were trying to fix it and building the wall in doing these things. But now we sent a message to the world that we have open borders and we are not stopping people and not. We are paying the price for it. Theyre sending unaccompanied minors and the cartel knows what our policies are and thats why we are coming together as sheriff Spirit. I started an organization to protect american now and you can check it out, protect America now com. We are fighting to protect our borders in our communities. Brian. You are look at these numbers into songbird of forty five percent with unaccompanied minors in Yuma up one of four percent single adult encounters of two hundred and sixty percent in Yuma people. Come down and look or dont show up, like President Biden has no plans to go down and you have to limit live it every day and living it every day and having it ignored has got to make everything worse.
It drives us crazy, ive extended the offer, and I will do it again to any congressman or woman or senator who wants to come down to see the problem firsthand. Please come down and see it, so you can vote with actual knowledge of what is going on because truly they are voting and talking about this issue and they dont know what they are talking about. Brian sheriff. What bothers me so much is to see some of that barrier, the fence, the wall built in the huge gaps as if everyone was told drop, your hammer dropped the tractor and go home we paid for this already and just for pure political purposes, because Senator Joe Biden voted for the secure fence act. It is not completed. They literally just told the crews to go home. Ive talked to a lot of the workers from one day to the next. They lost their jobs and those families were put out of work and they stopped it in. You know what the cartel knew that and they started busting people and left and right hundred thousand people is an
extreme amount of people, and there is no way think about that. Then handling that amount of people on the border, especially unaccompanied minors, in the cartel, is making so much money off of this lets not forget the drugs. Last week we had a 12 pound heroin seizure and its going Brian Sheriff keep fighting. We will keep the sirens on and.
