I said, my God, how did the president get here ahead of all of us? It was about the same time that Vance and Tulsi and Hegseth went to Eagle Pass. And this was Kinney County, and this was Sheriff Coe. And Sheriff Coates says, oh, things have gotten so much better. You know, that's right. The optics are much better. There are no longer thousands of people marching over the border anymore. But.

what about the legal ports of entry? The border patrol has nothing to do with the legal ports of entry. Those are controlled by police authorities, customs police, and others. And I said, well, what's the problem with the legal ports of entry? Well, most of the drugs and a lot of the human trafficking comes through the legal ports. I said, well, how does that happen?

They said, well, if somebody comes up to you and you make normally three or 4,000 a month, and they say, here's 20,000. Let us through, you get through. And that's part of the problem on the border.

No, they just sent a brigade and that's fine. But we have, I think, six or seven of these brigades of motorized infantry, these light armored vehicles, put them on the border. We need 40, 50, 60,000 troops down there. We need some aviation brigades down there. Now, they don't all have to stay there forever, but they need to stay there until the barriers are built and the border is secure.

Because the cartels are infinitely better armed than the police and the border patrol. They have javelin missile systems. Yes. Yes, they've got unmanned systems for ISR, for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance. They've got armed unmanned systems.

And the thing that nobody seems to understand is what happens when we finally stop it. You stop the drugs. You stop the human trafficking along the border. Now, they're going to try and go around you. They'll try to use the coastal waters. I think the Coast Guard belongs in the United States, not in the South China Sea, not in the Persian Gulf. They belong here, and they're not.
