(Few notes. Go to CSPAN link for full interview)

Throw away their IDs

complete strangers

criminals

Towns emptied out in other countries

Mansions being built from money sent back home

Western Highlands

Asylum fraud

I interviewed villagers

no police officer near here

millions more will come

we are subjected to this over and over again

this will go down in history

this is an Ellis Island type event

8-10 million

15-20 million

they seem to breaking rules because Americans don’t mind allowing it

The United States should not be the first country to blow off its border

why should we be a grand global experiment

it hurts the democratic base

hurts their wages

hurts poor people

hurts Latinos and blacks

Impacts benefits, schools, healthcare

many are uneducated in their own countries

Plum Grove in Texas

can’t keep up with classrooms and ESL teachers

suffering in silence

These 3rd world cesspools are sending us their rapists, criminals, cartel, gangs, and mentally ill.

President Trump was right!

We need to shut down ALL foreign aid.

They do not want these people in their country, and USA does not want them either.

It should by mandatory they give the death penalty to their rapists, gangs, terrorists and cartels or they get NO visas, no entry into our country, and no more foreign aid.

These vile, violent, vermin are destroying their countries. Put these feral animals down in the thousands or NOTHING will ever change in these corrupt countries.

They are locked up in prisons, they are taking over prisons, they are killing the guards. Put them the hell down and out of OUR misery.

They shove them here over our border and they are now destroying our communities like cancer spreading all over our nation.

SEND THEM BACK!

None of them can stay here and send their UACs with them.

We do not want Ellis Island!

No immigration for 10 years.

They should apply back home, wait their turn. No showing up on our doorstep.

Todd Bensman - Jeh Johnson (Obama’s DHS Secretary) said if he woke up and there were 1,000 coming across a day it would be a bad day.

“And I’d look at [the numbers] every morning, it be the first thing to look at, and I probably got too close to the problem. My staff will tell you if it under 1,000 apprehensions the day before, that was a relatively good number. If it was above 1,000 it was a relatively bad number and I was going to be in a bad mood all day,” Johnson said.
