Trump Laying Down The Law On Border

[HALL85]

90% have not received a notice. Of the 10% who have but failed to show up, did they miss a court date or are they actually missing?

I went back and corrected my statement. If someone has not received a notice, it’s probably because we don’t know where they are….hence missing.

Again, not saying there is zero risk here… but we have no idea why they missed a court date and suggesting that the 300k, are missing as in could have been trafficked is very misleading

But I didn’t mention before, it’s likely 300k is the low number. There are many more children that are smuggled in that are never intercepted. We have virtually an open border. We’re traffickers can move these kids in multiple ways without even getting caught.

That’s fine, but what is your suspicion based on?



Not sure what you’re asking.
Yes, if and when that happens it’s horrible. We should do what we can to limit the opportunity to smuggle anyone in.



Curtail their efforts? Naive to think of a cartel is making money trafficking people that they would stop because it’s harder. It’s more difficult to smuggle someone in today vs 20-30 years ago. They didn’t curtail their efforts because the incentive to make money is still there. Have to go after the cartels directly to make progress there.

We’ve made it easy for cartels to make a fortune, trafficking, children, women, and drugs. If you secure the border, intercept most of these attempts and prevent them from even getting to the border, if I were a cartel, I would probably direct my efforts in other directions to make money.
