California Republican and former Trump senior advisor react to Fox News' exclusive border report from Sara Carter on 'Hannity'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Last week we brought
you an exclusive from Sarah
Carter authorities telling her
that mexican drug cartels are
growing marijuana with illegal
immigrant labor inside LOS
Angeles county.
You can see the pictures we have
right there on the screen.
Yeah that would be marijuana
grown illegally.
They are grow houses.
Local residents are terrified
here with more of Sarah Carters
Report is Sarah Carter.
You are speaking without
showing your face because,
because we have a fear,
they do not,
but the residents here do have. I
fear
it should issue the other way
around
a fear.
My son is here and his children.
He was concerned about it.
He is surrounded where he lives
with these houses.
They are more brazen,
its lawlessness in the desert,
the wild West.
Yes, very much so
if we dont do something, it will
get worse,
not knowing who the people
are and knowing what they are
doing, which is illegal, its
unnerveing.
What is your worst fear?
Well, I assume people who live out here like myself for
live out here, like myself for
years, are in the same boat.
We move or something worse may
happen.
Republicans are
fighting back, sending a letter
to the attorney general demand.
Demanding hetake action
here is congressman MIKE Garcia,
with Steven Miller.
Congressman lets talk about the
letter,
any response,
yes very important topic
here.
We initiated this letter with my
peers from California.
This is a national security
issue,
not just for the local citizens,
but Edwards AIR Force Base is in
my district and their personnel
are not feeling safe and have to
go to places with escorts.
These are criminal organizations
getting free land and water and
growing illegal marijuana over
several acres.
The problem has grown just in
the last two months.
We put a light on
this, but this is why you dont
defund the police.
This is why you dont stop
funding border security.
There is a direct result of both
of those things
it got out of control.
We are hoping that the attorney
general plays attention and the
local sheriff is helping us get
more attention on this.
We need to support him.
California is
experiencing drought for
farmers,
taking about ten millions of
water daily,
its bigger than that
this is one part of it.
They are just growing their
illegal crops in the U Dot S using
our electricity and our water.
Ninety percent of all the heroin in
this country crosses that
southern border,
the same with fentanyl
thats, killing over three hundred
Americans every week.
Addiction is way out of control.
What I learned firsthand
working with the border patrol
over the last four years. What
happens at the border does not
stay
there. The criminal organizations
allowed access into the country
they end up in New York,
California, and Virginia and
everywhere in between
you see this time and time
again.
You have criminal organizations
operating with impunity in
California, because this
administration dismantled
immigration enforcement.
If we were in charge right now,
we will be on the phone and be
down there. Making arrests
protecting these communities
want its not happening because
Joe Biden made this a sanctary
country for criminal, illegal
immigrants,
members of gangs and cartels,
they will hurt and kill innocent
Americans
congressman. If I aided
and abetted criminal activity, I
would be locked up and put in
jail.
I am one of the few rule
followers
I realize conservatives are
treated differently.
How is it not aiding and
abetting criminal activities
when we have laws to prevent
people from entering this
country Illee illegally
illegally?
They are getting assistance from
the Biden administration.
They need food, water and
education.
Who is paying for that?
You are spot on
where California goes. The nation
goes
its no surprise when he starts
behaving this way.
He is an enabler at a national
level to one of the largest
humanitarian crises. This nation
has ever seen
it creeped into my back yards.
We need to fight back.
We will fix this problem.
This is not just a problem in
California,
its coming to a neighborhood
near you
last word,
Steve Miller.
I talked to border agents in
recent days who described
a sophisticated strategy on the
southwest border, where smugglers
sent massive numbers of family
units and minors and border
agents are diverted to address
them.
Drugs and weapons and cash
criminals are pouring into the
country.
Border agents know its
happening, but they are forced to
continue this catch and release
policy that makes our nation
less safe and putting
communities in every part of.
