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.

That’s not what the OIG reports said (which is where this all originated from) you can read it instead of guessing.

Not saying it doesn’t exist, but trafficking worldwide is nowheVictims from Mexico are around 7% of that. Not insignificant, but no where near the narrative going around that these 300k kids were victims of trafficking.

The border getting more secure means it’s more difficult and the cartels can charge more. Cartels make more money the more secure the border is.

If there’s border were wide open, no one would be paying them to transport anything.

It’s more than Mexicans being trafficked. What about other South/Central American countries? Have you seen the prostitution problems in Queens with illegals?

This makes no sense. You can’t arbitrarily raise the fee on people that don’t have the means to pay.

And you’re conveniently taking the term “open border” to the extreme that no one is stopping anyone. The numbers don’t lie. Its a mess.

Again, not saying it’s not a problem. This started because you were talking about the 300k missing children you brought up. That had just popped up on my twitter feed beforehand and it sounded crazy so I looked into it.

This makes no sense. You can’t arbitrarily raise the fee on people that don’t have the means to pay.

And yet Cartels have been raising the price in recent years.

And you’re conveniently taking the term “open border” to the extreme that no one is stopping anyone. The numbers don’t lie. Its a mess.

It is a mess, that point we have agreed on many times. Biden has been to lenient in how to deal with an asylum request to where even when those being trafficked get caught, they can request asylum and we let them in. The trafficker still can face penalties, and they have been being arrested at a higher rate.
