PDB Situation Report | January 25th, 2025: The Border Crackdown Has Already Begun & Trump Cleans House in DC

I gotta say the end of catch and release where instructing the border patrol that they are not to be letting people go, period. You know, there are things that follow from that. They need enough detention space to detain people, but that's the fundamental thing is not letting people go once you have them in custody. Because if you do, it's game over.

They'll send their selfies home and say, La Migra let us go, come on up, and they'll let you go too. So, that's the single most important thing to end right away.

Because nobody's going to spend all the money and take the risk if the odds of getting let go are low. When the odds are high, they're like, hey, it's worth it. Let's take the chance. When the odds are not that good, then some people will still do it, but it's not going to be as attractive, and so you're not going to have the huge numbers we've been seeing.

PDB Situation Report | January 25th, 2025: The Border Crackdown Has Already Begun & Trump Cleans House in DC

There's two ways they used it, either at the Mexican border, like your footage is showing here, or people who flew over the border and came to airports. It's over a million people because there's different pieces of it, but it's well over a million people came in that way. And they got work permits too. They were paroled in. It's astonishing.

And the rationale from Biden was, well, this is how we reduce illegal crossings at the border. Well, sure, if you just let everybody in, there's no more illegal immigration. It was crazy. So that stopped right away. I mean, they stopped that at, you know, 12.01 on Monday afternoon.

Yeah, no, that was their rationale. Was this how we reduce illegal border crossings by just letting people line up and come through the ports of entry and schedule their illegal immigration? It's bananas. All right, so that's been kicked to the curb.

That's one of the two uses of CBP-1 was this Cuba-Haiti-Nicaragua-Venezuela program where they didn't even have to go to the border. They just were able to fly over the border into the United States and They didn't have to come from Haiti or Venezuela. We actually got, we had to submit a Freedom of Information Act request.
