NBC’s Gutierrez: Coyote Told Me Trump’s Policies Caused His Business to Decline About 80% Since Inauguration On Thursday’s broadcast of “NBC Nightly News,” NBC News Senior White House Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez reported on a conversation with a human smuggler in Mexico who he said told him that “Trump’s stricter border policies have caused his business to plummet about 80% since Inauguration Day.” Gutierrez said, “Illegal border crossings dropped dramatically after the U.S. tightened asylum restrictions during the last part of the Biden administration. Since Trump was re-elected, they’ve fallen even more, 35% from December to January. Trump’s border czar now says they’re down to 229 a day, down from a peak of 11,000 a day during President Biden’s term. Marcos is a coyote, a human smuggler in southern Mexico who’s concealing his face and last name. The troops won’t make a difference, he says, it’s foolishness, but he does concede Trump’s stricter border policies have caused his business to plummet about 80% since Inauguration Day.” Gutierrez also stated that Marcos told him he might have to raise his prices.
Yep. The part where the coyote said the troops will make no difference but his business was down 80% was not a very tidy argument for the dems. I look forward to some more of that there "making no difference."
TRUMP EFFECT: Single-Day Migrant Apprehension Numbers on Southwest Border Fall Below 200 Olivarez reported that this represents a 95 percent decrease from the 4,393 migrants apprehended on the same day one year earlier.
We will wait for official figures from the CBP rather than claims from politicians posting stuff on X/Twitter.
Yup, clear as day you can see the ridiculous levels of invasion before Biden entered the election year and then finally found out that immigration was an issue. WTF is he issuing an EO in June of 2024 for? He had years to order reductions. Try to take a wild and crazy guess what the numbers would revert to if he had been elected and did not need to face re-election or the wrath of voters. C'mon man. You can do it. But we tossed his sorry arse out along with his sidekick Kamala, whatever her last name is.
Mayorkas....a stupid man Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday blamed House Republicans for record-high migrant crossings at the southern border after they voted largely along party lines to sink the bipartisan border security bill that included foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. During an interview on NBC News' “Meet the Press,” Mayorkas was asked by moderator Kristen Welker whether he bears responsibility for the overwhelming number of migrants trying to cross the border and the backlog of asylum claims, which President Joe Biden has called a “crisis.” “It certainly is a crisis and we don’t bear responsibility for a broken system, and we’re dealing a tremendous amount within that broken system,” he said. “But fundamentally, Congress is the only one who can fix it.”
