Over 6 million illegal immigrants have been apprehended at the southern border since 2021, leading to concerns about deliberate planning by government and non-government entities. The migration pipeline starts in South America, with migrants flying into Ecuador before crossing the dangerous Darien Gap jungle into Panama. Various international organizations, including the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders, aid migrants and provide maps and instructions on how to reach the US border. This organized mass migration is part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which promotes world socialism and views migration as a core development consideration. The facilitation of illegal migration poses national security threats and could lead to permanent political demographic change in the United States.

Concerns about terror cells crossing the border arise when hundreds of thousands of people are allowed in. While terrorists and individuals on the watchlist have been caught, the accurate number of those who have sneaked through remains uncertain. The influx of migrants, with videos showing long lines at the border, raises questions about the wisdom of such a policy. Building a wall is suggested as a solution, but opposition to it is often labeled as racist. It is also speculated whether other countries, like Russia, are engineering social media outrage surrounding this issue.

Nobody in this country cares about watching bombs go off, but they are interested in the Mexican border, which I just visited for three days. Mexico is a cesspool of barbarism and criminality, and that's our existential threat, not China, Russia, or Iran. The cartels run everything in Mexico, and everyone knows the truth. My son was just in Mexico City, and people told him where not to go and what not to do to avoid the cartels. If you cross them, you're dead. The cartels also take care of their own, providing healthcare and other benefits. The weapons they have are serious, including RPGs and Javelin missile systems. Border patrolmen and Texas guard people have seen them just across the border. Some of these weapons may have come from Ukraine, where corruption is rampant and a lot of the aid we send ends up on the black market.

There are concerns about the infiltration of terrorist organizations into the United States, particularly those sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. The open borders and weak policies of the Biden administration have allowed for potential threats to enter the country. The Mexican cartels, responsible for killing Americans with fentanyl, could also collaborate with terrorists. It is unknown how many sleeper cells or terrorists are present in the US, but the close alliance with Israel suggests that the conflict between Israel and Hamas could spread to American streets. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies are worried, but their ability to address these threats is hindered by distractions and resource limitations. The US is seen as a likely target due to its support for Israel.

Speaker 0: Decision on whether to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine or sell them to NATO and let them sell them to Ukraine. Speaker 1: Yeah. I've sort of made a decision pretty much if if if you consider. Yeah. I I think I wanna find out what they're doing with them. Yes. Speaker 0: Yes. Speaker 2: Donald Trump's recent statement to the press about mulling over sending Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine has elicited a response from the Kremlin today. Putin announced that the peace process with the Trump administration to end the Ukraine war is officially, quote, unquote, exhausted. Trump and Putin have had a very, you know, strange relationship, a little touch and go since Trump returned to the presidency. At first, to end the Ukraine war on his very first day in office, Trump has meandered a bit on the issue and is now apparently settling on the Biden administration's policy of arming Ukraine and NATO to the hilt. But can Tomahawk cruise missiles even make much of a difference given that the Russian military has achieved supremacy on the battlefield and maintained that dominance for at least the last year and a half, maybe even longer, if you will. We're now joined by, and we're so pleased he's with us, retired US Army colonel Douglas MacGregor. He's the author of I'm sorry. We also have Brandon Weichert with us, the author of Ukraine. Go cross wires there, a disaster of their own making, how the West lost to Ukraine. Thank you both for being with us. Speaker 3: Sure. Speaker 4: Thank you for having me. Speaker 2: Colonel McGregor, welcome to the show. We're so glad to especially have your perspective on this. And what we're gonna kinda do is a tour, if you will, around the globe because there's several, ongoing and pending conflicts. Right? So let's start with this breaking news out of Russia where Putin says that these talks, these negotiations are exhausted. Are they, as a matter of fact, exhausted, colonel? Speaker 3: Well, I think he was referring specifically to what happened in Alaska. And I think president Trump showed up, you know, in grandiose fashion with the goal of overwhelming, president Putin and his team with his charm and grace and power, and it all failed miserably. President Trump never really listened carefully to anything the Russians said to him. He didn't read any of the material that was pertinent to the discussion. He came completely unprepared, and that was the the message that came out after the meeting. So the Russians were very disappointed. If you don't read their proposals, you don't read what they're doing and what they're trying to accomplish, then you're not gonna get very far. So now, president Trump has completed his transformation into Joe Biden. He's become another version of Joe Biden. Speaker 2: What it is so unexpected. And, you know, it's hard for a lot of a lot of Trump voters to hear because specifically part of voting for him and the mandate that he had going into this term was in these conflicts. Right? Specifically, the one in Ukraine. He didn't start any new conflicts while in office in the first term. Why this version of Trump this term? I know you, like I, look into the hiring, the administration, the pressures from the outside on the president. What is influencing where he is now on Ukraine, colonel MacGregor? Speaker 3: Well, that's a that's a difficult question. I mean, first of all, he grossly underestimated the complexity of the of the war. If you don't understand the foundations for the conflict, how this conflict came about, I mean, I I was standing around listening to someone like Brzezinski in the nineteen nineties trying to tell president Clinton that it was critical to address Ukraine's borders because Eastern Ukraine was, quote, unquote, Russified and effectively not Ukrainian. Nobody would listen to Brzezinski, and so we walked away from that very problem. And in the run up to this thing back in 2014, I was on several different programs, and I pointed to the electoral map, And it showed you who voted for what where. It was very obvious that the East and the Northeast voted to stay with the Russian pro Russian candidate, and everybody else voted against the pro Russian candidate. So none of this should come as a surprise, but I don't think president Trump is aware of any of that. I don't think he studied any of that. And so he's got a lot of people around him pushing him in the direction of the status quo. He went through this during his first term, disappointed all of us because he could never quite escape from the Washington status quo. So he simply returned to it, and I don't see anything positive occurring in the near future. Speaker 2: That's sort of the same as well, with other agencies like the the DOJ, which I wanna get into a little bit later. Brandon, you've been writing about this as a national interest. So what what do you make of it? Speaker 4: Well, I think that right now, this is a lot of vamping from Trump. I think the colonel is a 100% correct when he says Trump really didn't come prepared to the Alaska meeting. I think ultimately Trump's default is to still try to get a deal with Putin on things like rare earth mineral development and trade. I think it's very important to note, I believe it was Friday or Thursday of last week, Putin was on a stage at an event and he reiterated his desire to reopen trade relations with The United States and he wants to do a deal with Trump on multiple other fronts. So that's a positive thing. But ultimately, I think that people need to realize that Trump says a lot of stuff in the moment. The follow through is the question. I am very skeptical that he's actually going to follow through on the Tomahawk transfer if only because logistically, it's not practical. Ukraine lacks the launchers. They lack the training. The the targeting data has to come exclusively and be approved exclusively by the Pentagon, which means that Trump will be on the hook even more for Joe Biden's war, which runs against what he says he wants to get done, which is peace. Regardless of whether it's been exhausted or not that process, Trump I think default wants peace. So I think this is a lot of bluster and I think ultimately it will not lead to the Tomahawk transfer. Last of all because we don't have enough of these Tomahawks. Right? I mean, that that is a a finite amount. I think we have about 3,500 left in our arsenal. We have 400 we're sending to the Japanese Navy, and we're gonna need these systems for any other potential contingency in South America or God forbid another Middle East contingency or certainly in the Indo Pacific. So I think that at some point, the reality will hit, you know, hit the cameras and Trump will not actually follow through on this. Speaker 2: So speaking of South America, let's head that way. Colonel McGregor, I I don't know if you know. I've been covering this pretty extensively what's been going on with the Trump administration's actions on Venezuela. So a bit of breaking news. Today, the US State Department claims that Venezuela is planning to attack their embassy, which has a small maintenance and security board other than, you know, diplomatic staff. Meanwhile, Maduro's regime argues they're just foiled a right wing terrorist plot that's that was planning to stage a false flag against the US embassy to give the US Navy fleet. There's a lot off in Venezuela's coast the impetus to attack Maduro. I've been getting some pushback, you know, on this reporting related to Venezuela, because, you know, Trump's base largely doesn't want any new conflicts. They're afraid this is sort of foreign influence wanting wanting him to go there. Are we justified in what Trump is doing as far as the buildup and what we are hearing is an impending invasion? Is it is the Trump administration justified in this action, colonel MacGregor, in Venezuela? Speaker 3: No. I I don't think there's any, pressing pressing need for us to invade or attack Venezuela at all. But we have to go back and look at his actions to this point. He's just suspended diplomatic relations with Venezuela, which is usually a signal of some sort of impending military action. I don't know what he's being told. I don't know what sort of briefing he's received, what sort of planning has been discussed, but we need to keep a few things in mind. First of all, the Venezuelan people, whether they love or do not love Maduro, are very proud of their country, and they have a long history of rebelling against foreign influence, particularly against Spain. And they're not likely to take, an invasion or an intervention of any kind from The United States lately. Secondly, they've got about 400,000 people in the militias, but they can expect, at least a 100,000 or more paramilitaries to come in from Brazil and Colombia and other Latin American states. It's why the whole thing could result in a Latin American crusade against The United States. And finally, we ought to keep in mind that the coastline is 1,700 miles long. That's almost as long as the border between The United States and Mexico. The border with Brazil and with Colombia is each of them are about 1,380 kilometers long. You start running the math and you're dealing with an area the size of Germany and and France combined. This is not something that one should sink one's teeth in without carefully considering the consequences. So I don't know what the underlying assumptions are, but my own experience is that they're usually a series of what we call rosy scenarios and assume things that just aren't true. So I I'm very concerned we'll get into it. We'll waste a lot of time and money. We'll poison the well down there. If we really want access to the oil and and gas, I think we can get it without invading the place. And they also have emerald mines and gold mines. So I think they'd be happy to do business with us. But this obsession with regime change is very dangerous, and I think it's unnecessary. Speaker 2: That is definitely what it seems they're going for. When I talk to my sources, ChromaGregor, and then I'll get your take on it, Brandon, they say it's a four pronged issue. Right? That it's the drug that, of course, the drugs that come through Venezuela into The United States, Trend Aragua, which we know the ODNI and Tulsi Gabbard, DNI, Tulsi Gabbard was briefed on specifically, that the right of trend in Aragua and how they were flooded into the country, counterintelligence issues, a Venezuelan influence in, you know, in some of our intelligence operations, and, just the narco terrorist state that it is. But you feel that given even if all of that is true and the Venezuela oh, excuse me, in the election fraud. Right? The election interference via the Smartmatic software. Given all that, you still feel it's not best to invade, colonel. You how do we handle it? How do we counter these threats coming from Venezuela? Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you secure your borders. You secure your coastal waters. You get control of the people who are inside The United States. We have an estimated 50,000,000 illegals. Somewhere between twenty five and thirty million of them poured into the country, thanks to president Biden's betrayal of the American people and his decision to open the borders with the help of mister Mayorkas that facilitated this massive invasion. I would start at home. The drug problem is not down in Venezuela. The drug problem is here in The United States. If you're serious, anybody who deals in drugs or is involved in human trafficking, particularly child trafficking, should face, the death penalty. Unless you do those kinds of things, you're not gonna fundamentally change the problem here. Now as the narco state title, I think, is a lot of nonsense. The drugs overwhelmingly come out of Colombia. They don't come out of Venezuela. A very small amount goes through Venezuela. I'm sure there are generals in the Venezuelan army that are skimming off the top and putting extra cash in their banks, but it's not a big it's not a big source from our standpoint. We have a much more serious problem in Mexico right now. Mexico is effectively an organized crime state, and I don't think, what Maduro is doing is is really, in that same category. On the other hand, I think Maduro is courting the Chinese and the Russians. And I think he's doing that because he feels threatened by us, and he's looking for whatever assistance or support he can get. And right now, given our behavior towards the Russians in Ukraine, it makes infinite sense for the Russians to cultivate a proxy against us in Central And South America. This is the way things are done, unfortunately. We there are consequences for our actions. I don't think we've thought any of them through. Speaker 2: Well, in in in talking about turning this into a broader conflict or a bigger problem, I I I I know, Brandon, you had heard that that Russia basically told Maduro, don't look to us. Don't come to us. But now this was a couple weeks ago. Yep. Yep. Like you just said, colonel MacGregor, things have changed a little bit. Right? Especially looking at what Putin said today. So will Russia now come to Venezuela's aid, to Maduro's aid? Speaker 3: I think it's distinctly possible, but it's not going to be overt. It'll be clandestine. It'll be behind the scenes. The Chinese are also gonna do business with Maduro. They have an interest in the largest known vindicated oil reserves in the world. The bottom line is and this you go back to this tomahawk thing, which I think Brandon talked about. It's very, very important. The tomahawk is a devastating weapon. Can they be shot down? Absolutely. The Serbs shot them down back in 1999 during this Kosovo air campaign. However, it carries a pretty substantial warhead, roughly a thousand pounds. It has a range of roughly a thousand miles. And I think president Trump has finally been briefed on that, and he has said, yeah. I I wanna know where they're going to fire them, whom they're going to target. Well, the Ukrainians have targeted almost exclusively whatever they could in terms of Russian civilian infrastructure and Russian civilians. They've killed them as often and as much as they could. So the notion if you're gonna give these things to these people or you're gonna shoot for them, you can expect the worst, and that would precipitate a terrible response from the Russians. I don't think we understand how seriously attacks on Russian cities is gonna be taken by the Russians. So I would say, they will provide the Venezuelans with enough to do damage to us if if it's required, but I don't think they expect the Venezuelans to overwhelm us or march into America. That's Mexico's job right now with organized crime. That's where I think we have a much more serious problem. Speaker 4: I I agree with the colonel on that. I think also there's an issue. Now I happen to think we we because of the election fraud that you talk a lot about, Emerald, I think there is a threat in Maduro, and I I do think that that there is a more serious threat than we realize coming out of that sort of left wing miasma in Latin America. And I I think the colonel's correct though in saying that we're we're making it worse with some of our actions. I will point out on the technical side. I broke this story last week. The Venezuelan government, the military Padrino, the the defense minister there, claimed that his radar systems actually detected a tranche of US Marine Corps f 35 b's using these Russian made radars that they have. This is not the first time, by the way, a Russian made radar system using these really and I'm not going get into the technical details here, but using really innovative ways of detecting American stealth planes. It's not the first time a Russian system has been able to do this. And so we are now deploying large relatively large number of f 35 b's into the region. Obviously, it's a build up for some kind of strike package. And there are other countermeasures that the f 35 b has in the event it's detected. But I will point out that this plane is supposed to be basically invisible, and we think the Venezuelans are so technologically inferior, we do need to be preparing our forces for the fact that the Venezuelans will be using innovative tactics, in order to stymie our advances over their territory. It's not to say we can't defeat them, but we are not prepared, I don't think, for for having these systems, seen on radar by the Venezuelans, and that is something the Russians have helped the Venezuelans do. Speaker 2: Very complex. Before we run out of time, do wanna get your thoughts, colonel MacGregor, on, the expectation that Israel will strike Iran again. Will we again come to their aid? And do you think we should? Speaker 3: Well, first of all, stealth can delay detection but cannot resist it. Yeah. I think the stealth is grossly exaggerated in terms of its value. It causes an enormous price tag Yeah. When you buy the damn plane. And the f 35, from a readiness standpoint, is a disaster anyway. So, you know, I I think we have to understand that, yes, mister Netanyahu has to fight Iran. Iran has to be balkanized and reduced to rubble the way the Israelis with help from us and the British have reduced Syria to chaos, broken up into different parts. This is an Israeli strategy for the region. It's always been there. If you can balkanize your neighbors, your neighbors don't threaten you. Now I don't subscribe to the Israeli view that Iran is this permanent existential threat that has to be destroyed, but it doesn't matter what I think. What matters is what they think. They think Iran is a permanent existential threat and therefore must be destroyed. Your question is, will they find a way to attack Iran? The answer is yes. Sooner rather than later. The longer they wait, the more robust and capable Iran becomes. And, I think that's in the near term that we'll see we'll see some trigger. Somehow, there'll be a trigger and Iran will strike. And will we support them? Absolutely. We're already moving assets into the region along with large quantities of missiles and ammunition, but our inventories, as I'm sure you're aware, are limited. We fired a lot of missiles. We don't have a surge capacity in the industrial base. We need one. Our factories are not operating twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. The Russian factories are. Their manufacturing base can keep up. And by the way, the Chinese are right there with them. They have the largest manufacturing base in the world. So if it comes down to who could produce and fire the most missiles, well, we're gonna lose that game, and Israel is gonna lose with us. But right now, I don't see any evidence that anyone's worried about that. Speaker 4: Yeah. Speaker 2: You know what? Colonel McGregor, I I I don't know if I feel any safer after you joined us today. It is very concerning. It's it's a concerning situation we find ourselves in, and I feel like so many people because they feel the election turned out the way they wanted to wanted it to, are not concerned anymore. Right? But we are in Speaker 1: a finite amount of time and there's still great pressures upon the president. There are many voices whispering in his ear. And so we constantly have to be calling out what we Speaker 2: see and explaining to people why it matters. Speaker 3: Remember, this president has said this. Everybody dealing with the administration has said this. It's a very transactional administration. Yep. Follow the money. Who has poured billions into his campaign and bought the White House and Congress for him? When you understand those facts in, you can explain the policy positions. Speaker 1: And I think that's also why we're, the leading conversation we're seeing on acts and social media. Right now, Colonel McGregor, thank you so much for joining us today. We hope you'll come back soon. Speaker 3: Sure. Thank you. Speaker 2: And, Brandon, as always, good to see you, my friend. Thank you. Speaker 4: See you again. Nice to meet you, colonel. Speaker 3: Very nice to see you. Bye bye.

Afghanistan, Egypt, Russia, and China are coming to our border because the federal government has failed to secure it. Governors, like in Texas, are sending National Guard troops to help. The border crisis affects everyone in the country, leading to drugs flooding into communities. This is a national security and humanitarian crisis caused by the administration's failure to act.

Chairman Perry and members of the caucus, I thank you for inviting me to discuss what I describe as the most historic mass migration crisis ever to strike The United States. What has happened at the Southern border is history-making in scope with long-lasting second, third, and fourth order implications for American citizens. The mass migration that began around inauguration day 2021 calls for a broader public discussion about what it is and how it works. During its first year and now into its second, I interviewed hundreds of immigrants, most recently on an eight-day fact-finding journey to Tapachula, on the Guatemala–Mexico border. From my vantage point, there is one root cause most often cited by the immigrating foreign nationals for coming now: that President Joe Biden opened the American southern border wide to them. They see on social media, from hundreds of thousands who have gone before, secure quick releases and resettlement into America—the ultimate golden chalice—and they decide to gamble large smuggling investments that criminal smuggling gangs will get them in to stay too. With such an enticing return on smuggling investment, no thinking person should wonder why this global migration hit a national record of nearly 2,000,000 border patrol apprehensions in a single year with probably 500,000 more gotaways, an undercount. The caucus should know that nonprofit advocacy groups and, more notably, the United Nations appear to be working alongside the criminal smuggling organizations on the same mission. United Nations agencies such as the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are providing hard cash, food, shelter, legal services, and psychological services along the migrant trails, which also materially facilitate journeys that everyone involved knows lead to illegal American border crossings. In various forms, the UN and the nonprofits it funds contribute to the current mass migration crisis. I found a UNHCR stamp booklet discarded on the Rio Grande riverbank on the Mexican side, and I observed handout cash debit cards to migrants in long lines. Workers reported that they give $400 every fifteen days to families of four, renewable every two weeks. The UN tells me only the most vulnerable receive this cash, yet in Reynosa and Tapachula, long lines at UNHCR offices revealed regular family units, many with debit cards, who said they might have to leave the migrant trail and go home without this money. The cards are part of a vast and escalating UN program called cash-based interventions along the migrant trail through Latin America, including unrestricted, unconditionally usable plastic cash cards, cash-filled envelopes in some areas, money transfers for lodging and pharmaceutical prescriptions, and something called movement assistance—transportation money to move forward when camps empty and reform further north. Credible reporting shows the UN is providing these forms of assistance along the trail from South America to Texas. On a Kakuta to Bogota, Colombia segment, the UN was seen handing out food, clothing, and necessities worth an estimated $200 to $300 per migrant per day. Non-cash assistance keeps migrants on the US trail; in Tapachula, Mexican asylum approval is important for permission to move legally beyond the southern provinces toward the US border. But many coming from Guatemala tell Mexican immigration they are seeking US jobs, which is not an eligible asylum claim, so they are denied. I did learn of a UN-funded migrant advocacy center where a full-time staff of certified psychologists helps migrants recover repressed memories of more eligible persecution. This manager said his group also trains migrants on how to pass muster with Mexican asylum interviewers the first time around, producing a 90% success rate for thousands a year. Other UN-funded psychologists offer similar work. If true, the UNHCR in Mexico has found another way to keep thousands more on the trail toward the American border. Some will defend this UN assistance as lifesaving; others will view it differently, and they will want to know more. Americans deserve to know the full extent of it, because the United States is the UN’s largest donor, and the US Congress appropriates a huge amount of money to the UN each year. Thank you. I note that the border is a national security concern. Recently, I reported a Venezuelan crossing the Rio Grande from Matamoros to Brownsville, and the FBI-wanted individual held in ICE headquarters here in Washington, D.C. intervened and demanded he be ordered released because he might get COVID in detention. He is now living freely pursuing an asylum claim in Detroit. Thank you.

Another group of migrants arrived at the border, highlighting the continuous flow of people entering and leaving. This situation has become a profitable industry for some, who exploit the suffering of others. The dangers faced by migrants, such as rape and murder, as well as being robbed by cartels, are alarming. The organizations profiting from this crisis are the real problem. Taxpayer money is being used to fund transportation for these migrants, but the situation is not improving. This is just the beginning of what is to come for America. There are those who simply seek personal gain, while others aim to destroy America from within. It is crucial to hold these individuals accountable. A journalist was confronted and told they couldn't film, which is absurd considering the circumstances.

Donald Trump is seen as the main threat as he wants the border problem to worsen so he can use it for his own political gain. He is even willing to cheer for an economic recession, which would harm people's jobs and savings, if it helps him in the upcoming election. This shows that Trump prioritizes himself over the United States. If Republicans in Congress are influenced by Trump's attempts to sabotage this deal, it reveals who they truly put first. They used to prioritize millionaires and billionaires, but now it's Trump at the top, followed by the wealthy, and then everyone else. They are not focused on improving and ensuring safety.

The speaker addresses the historic mass migration crisis at the US Southern border, asserting its root cause is President Biden's open border policy, as perceived by immigrating foreign nationals via social media. They are motivated by the success of those who came before them. This has led to record border patrol apprehensions and significant "gotaways." The speaker claims that UN agencies like IOM and UNHCR are materially contributing to illegal border crossings by providing cash, food, shelter, and legal/psychological services along migrant trails. They cite examples of cash debit cards given to migrants, and psychologists helping migrants recover memories of persecution to pass asylum interviews. The speaker suggests this UN assistance, funded partly by the US, keeps migrants on the trail to the US. They also raise national security concerns, citing an example of an FBI watch-listed Venezuelan released by ICE and now pursuing asylum in Detroit.

The borders are open and countries like Venezuela, Iran, Russia, and China are collaborating, including drug trafficking. There are concerns about sleeper cells infiltrating the US and using various pressure points to exert influence. The Securities Exchange Commission is turning a blind eye to hold them accountable due to financial gains. This situation poses a significant threat to American foreign policy.

There has been a continuous influx of migrants at the border, with numbers being hidden through the use of the CBP one app. Migrants are being told to return to Mexico, fill out the app, and then enter the US where they are immediately released. This violates immigration laws. Additionally, the number of terrorists crossing the border is increasing, with 29 apprehended this month. There has also been a significant rise in Chinese nationals, some of whom are linked to the PLA. This open border situation poses a national security crisis under Mayorkas' responsibility.

A cartel admitted it is easier to move human beings, drugs, guns, and fentanyl across the border now than in the history of their cartel. This has occurred within the last 3 years. Law enforcement resources are quickly depleted due to the Biden and Harris administration.

Chinese nationals crossing the southern border of the United States is a serious issue, raising concerns about China's intentions. Many Chinese nationals claim asylum, but if rejected, China refuses to take them back. There are worries that some of these individuals could be CCP spies, potentially creating havoc in the US if directed by Beijing. The number of Chinese nationals apprehended has significantly increased, indicating Beijing's exploitation of the current administration's perceived weakness. This situation poses a national security risk, considering China's history of surveillance, intellectual property theft, fentanyl distribution, COVID cover-up, and infiltration. Interviews with key figures like Tony Bobolinski and James Comey will shed light on these matters. Additionally, the Republican Party is experiencing changes, with calls for Mitch McConnell to step down and discussions with major donor Woody Johnson.

Chinese nationals are coming to America through the open border, raising questions about whether Xi Jinping is directing them. Many people want to leave China due to Jinping's dictatorial rule. The US Embassy's consulate staff may be facilitating their entry. Exploiting America's vulnerability, the open southern border becomes an attractive option for enemies.

The Venezuelan government has dispatched Trende Aragua, this gang, to come into The United States and commit mayhem. And one of the things that was leaked from someone in the intel community was that didn't happen. There is no official link between the Venezuelan government and Trendy Aragua. Therefore, it's not an incursion. It's not an invasion. The FBI very clearly is the intelligence element that is responsible for domestic security. The Maduro, Venezuelan government is supporting Trendy Aragua and their criminal activities here enabled by president Biden's four years of open borders where they very freely came in and out of our country and were able to to begin to control territory here in The United States.

A person in Mexico witnesses individuals crossing the border illegally, highlighting the lack of border patrol agents. They mention the involvement of cartels and blame leftist NGOs and Democrats for the open borders. The person warns that this situation is happening all along the border and accuses those who support open borders of endangering America. They emphasize the potential harm caused by allowing illegal immigrants into the country.

Secretary Mayorkas has put national security at risk, allowing terrorists and enemies to flood across the border. There's been a surge in Chinese nationals, many military-age men with ties to the PLA and CCP, released into the U.S. by Secretary Mayorkas. It's likely China is using Russia's template of sending military personnel into the U.S. There are 10,000 Chinese nationals illegally crossing into the U.S. being released into the country this fiscal year. Today's hearing will investigate the details and effects of Mayorkas' dereliction of duty. The speaker hopes the American people, the press, and the President will take note of these failures.

Chairman Perry and members of the caucus, I am here to discuss what I term the most historic mass migration crisis ever to strike The United States, noting that what has happened at the Southern border is history making in scope and will have long lasting second, third, and fourth order implications for American citizens. During its first year and now into its second, I have interviewed hundreds of immigrants, most recently on an eight day fact finding journey to the Guatemala–Mexico border city of Tapachula. From my vantage point, there is but one root cause that the immigrating foreign nationals most often cite for coming now: that President Joe Biden opened the American southern border wide to them. They see over their cell phones, social media, hundreds of thousands who have gone before, secure quick releases and resettlement into America, the ultimate golden chalice, and they gamble huge smuggling fee investments that criminal smuggling gangs will get them in to stay too. With such an enticing return on smuggling investment, no thinking person should wonder why this global migration hit the all time national record of nearly 2,000,000 border patrol apprehensions in a single year with probably 500,000 more gotaways, and that’s an undercount. But the caucus should also know that nonprofit advocacy groups and, more notably, the United Nations appear to be working side by side with the criminal smuggling organizations on the very same mission. United Nations agencies such as the International Office of Migration (IOM) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are providing hard cash, food, shelter, legal services, psychological services along the migrant trails, which also materially facilitate journeys that everyone involved very well knows despite any protestations to the contrary always lead to an illegal American border crossing. In whatever small or large way the United Nations and the nonprofits it funnels money to can reasonably be said to contribute to the current mass migration crisis. I found my first clue on a Rio Grande riverbank on the Mexican side, a discarded UNHCR stamp booklet. Hand out cash debit cards to migrants in long snaking lines. The workers handing them out said they give $400 every fifteen days to families of four, renewable every two weeks. The UN tells me only the most vulnerable get this cash. But in Reynosa, and again most recently in Tapachula, Mexico, where I saw the same long lines at the UNHCR office, nothing about them indicated acute vulnerability. They were regular family units of the sort crossing by the tens of thousands right now. Some showed me their debit cards there too and said, were it not for this money, they might have to leave the migrant trail and go home. Further inquiry showed the cards are just part of a vast and sharply escalating UN program called cash based interventions all along the migrant trail through Latin America. According to the UN documents and migrants, these include the unrestricted, unconditionally usable plastic cash cards, but also cash filled envelopes in some areas. Never a good look cash filled envelopes. Money transfers for lodging, pharmaceutical prescriptions, and something called movement assistance, which means transportation money to move forward when camps empty and reform further north. Credible reporting shows that the UN is providing these forms of assistance all along the migrant trail from South America to Texas. On a Kakuta to Bogota Colombia segment, the UN was seen handing out food, clothing, and necessities worth an estimated 200 to $300 day per migrant. And then there’s important non-cash assistance keeping migrants on the US trail. In Tapachula, approval for Mexican asylum these days is important for permission to move legally beyond the southern provinces where I was, always to The US border, of course. But many coming in from Guatemala innocently tell Mexican immigration they’re going for US jobs, which is not an eligible asylum claim. So they get denied. But I found a UN funded solution recently. The manager of a UN funded migrant advocacy center told me a full time staff of certified psychologists help these migrants recover repressed memories of more eligible government persecution. This manager told me in a recorded conversation that his group also trains migrants on the front end of the process how to pass muster with Mexican asylum interviewers the first time around. He said these operations produce a 90% success rate for thousands a year. Other UN funded psychologists offer what sounds like similar work. If all this is true, the UNHCR in Mexico has found another way to keep thousands more on the trail over the American border. Many can and will defend this UN assistance as lifesaving, but others who learn of it reasonably interpret this in a very different way, and they wanna know more, of course. However, Americans wanna interpret this assistance to migrants, they undoubtedly know they are joining a historic mass migration. All Americans deserve to know the full extent of it because The United States is the UN’s largest donor, and the US Congress appropriates a huge amount of money to the UN every year. I’ll also mention that the border is a national security concern. Just recently, I reported that a Venezuelan crossed the Rio Grande from Matamoros to Brownsville and that the FBI wanted that FBI watch listed individual held in that ICE headquarters here in Washington DC intervened and demanded that he be ordered that he be cut loose because he might get COVID in detention. That individual is now living freely pursuing an asylum claim in Detroit. Thank you. I thank the gentleman.

More people are now entering the US through ports of entry rather than crossing the border illegally. This is because of an app that allows them to enter easily. However, the app has been hacked by Mexican cartels, who are now selling the service to migrants worldwide. They use a virtual private network to override the app's security and bring in as many people as possible. This shows that the Biden administration doesn't understand the extent to which cartels will go to make money. The question remains: Is Mexico an ally in the fight against illegal immigration?

According to Speaker 1, the open border is the biggest national security vulnerability the country has ever seen. CBP data indicates that 1,272 Iranian nationals were released into the country under Joe Biden, compared to zero under the Trump administration. Speaker 1 claims that under President Trump, the U.S. had the most secure border in history, preventing the release of special interest aliens. While over 10,000,000 people crossed the border under Joe Biden, the biggest concern is the 2,000,000 known gotaways. Speaker 1 states that these individuals crossed undetected because Border Patrol was overwhelmed, creating a significant national security vulnerability.

The Western Hemisphere, particularly Latin America, has been largely neglected by U.S. administrations, allowing hostile powers like China, Russia, and Iran to gain influence. The Venezuelan mega gang, Tren de Aragua, has emerged from prison systems, exacerbating security threats as it expands through the region, aided by the Venezuelan government. This gang's operations, characterized by territorial invasions, pose significant risks to the U.S. homeland. Additionally, Iran and Hezbollah exploit Venezuela as a base for illicit activities, potentially targeting U.S. interests. The need for a comprehensive response, such as Operation Aurora, is critical to counter these threats and secure borders. The shifting political landscape in Latin America, with increasing autocratic regimes, further complicates U.S. engagement and necessitates a strategic approach to support democratic forces in the region.

It's alarming to see FBI Director Chris Ray alert Congress about security threats while urging them to push the DHS and the White House to secure the border. Recent statistics reveal significant numbers of individuals from various countries, including 21,100 Afghans, 33,000 Chinese, 541 Iranians, 520 Syrians, and over 31,100 Uzbeks. Additionally, an ISIS smuggling ring has infiltrated over 400 people, with some plotting attacks similar to the Pulse nightclub incident. The situation is escalating, and the responsibility lies with Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas.
