Published | Video Starts at 07:32

Keep in mind that in six months, there were over 1 million individuals that came into the United states just in six months. Multiply that by $8,000. That's $8 billion that the cartels made. So The cartels are going to be enriched by Title 42 going away on May 23. An interesting idea from you, Congressman. I want to just reinforce it here at the end. You want to see these judges do it in Guatemala, do it in Honduras, send the asylum, you know, enhance our presence down there. (07:32–07:39)
