But when we realize this is actually something that's being wielded against us,

by countries like China, but also Mexico with a real agenda behind it.

An agenda, by the way, that I quote them as explaining in the book.

I think it puts the immigration debate in a whole different level.

Yeah, this is back in 1980, the Mariel Boatlift.

And a lot of people that were around will remember that the United States was flooded with Cuban refugees.

And Jimmy Carter, when this first started developing, said, you know, we're a compassionate country, which is true.

We're going to welcome them with open arms.

And Fidel Castro told his top aides.

Well, we're going to fill their arms with excrement.

He used a different word.

And this was really the first modern example of weaponized immigration, because what Fidel Castro recognized was we can actually attack the United States by sending them criminals, people that are mentally ill, but also people that are going to set up criminal networks and drug networks inside the United States.

And so what we thought was a sort of random humanitarian event was actually a targeted attack.

And I quote from a government panel that later looked at the Mario Boatlift and concluded that it was probably the third most lethal foreign attack on the United States.

Besides Pearl Harbor and 9-11, the Mario Boatlift was probably the third most lethal attack.

And the thing that's so genius about what Castro did is, you know, Pearl Harbor in 9-11, you attack us, what happens?

We strike you back harder than you hit us.

That's the American way.

If it's a humanitarian attack through immigration, who do you attack?

Who do you launch the military against?
