You're talking about sort of potentially launching strikes in Mexico or putting American troops or American personnel into Mexico. Would I launch strikes in Mexico to stop drugs. It's okay with me.Whatever we have to do to stop drugs. So when we knock out about it, we save 25,000 lives. That's great.Now, do I feel the same way about the two corridors that they use. We know every one of them. We have every one of those corridors under major surveillance.We have nobody coming in through our southern border. B ...

The courts have acknowledged it. That is all spreading into our communities.So, it's a history and an agency we've created and that Congress has created. Uh, but for far too long, people haven't scrutinized what border security really means. And I think that's a problem, especially as Democrats are trying to find a way forward ...

I mean, it's insane even for the history of the modern border patrol because these tactics that they're using and I'll say, you know, I always say I'm from a border community. I'm familiar with this with this force and I've worked at the Department of Homeland Security. I understand their mission set. This is so far outside of their mission set.And what I want people to understand is this agency has been resistant to training and reform.
