Yeah, the Mexican government has adopted a tactic known as dispersion and exhaustion. According to Fox News, Mexican authorities will let immigrants on their way to the U.S. walk for days until they are tired. Then Mexican authorities will offer the migrants a ride to a nearby Mexican city under the guise of reviewing their immigration status.

But immigrants have said they can't get any help after they arrive. They can't even buy bus tickets out of the city. So these large caravans are slowly broken up and the migrants are basically forced to turn around back to their home countries. Mexico has, of course, done this after Trump threatened to put a 25% tariff on its goods unless it takes action on the border.

Mexico has, of course, done this after Trump threatened to put a 25% tariff on its goods unless it takes action on the border.

There are some signs that point that way. For instance, Mexican authorities last month announced the largest seizure of fentanyl pills in Mexico's history. But at the same time, the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has welcomed collaboration against the drug cartels. She has accused the United States of making false claims about the drug trade.

But at the same time, the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has welcomed collaboration against the drug cartels. She has accused the United States of making false claims about the drug trade.

Sheinbaum said that fentanyl is a much bigger problem in the U.S. and Canada, and that stories about Mexico's Sinaloa cartel manufacturing massive quantities of the drug are false. Of course, there are many experts in the U.S. that disagree with that. In fact, Trump's team is considering a move to designate Mexican drug cartels as terror groups.

That designation could open up possible military action against the cartels that have plagued the southern border with drugs, human trafficking, and other crimes. Now, Trump explored something like that during his first term but held off because the Mexican government didn't like it. But Trump may have a different mindset now after four years of unprecedented illegal immigration.

Yeah, the Lake and Riley Act passed the House on Tuesday by a vote of 264 to 159. The bill was named after Lake and Riley, a Georgia nursing student who was killed by an illegal alien last February. If it's signed into law, that act would require illegal aliens to be detained if arrested for certain nonviolent crimes.

The bill passed with unanimous Republican support as well as with 48 votes from Democrats. That's a positive sign that it could get past the filibuster in the Senate. This was also a big victory for House Speaker Mike Johnson. Before the vote, Johnson said that Democrats who voted against the bill last year put politics ahead of principle.

So we'll see what happens in the Senate. But there's a chance that the Lake and Riley Act could be the first legislative achievement of Trump's new administration.

Thanks for having me on.

Trump was convicted back in May on 34 felony counts related to so-called hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. He's asked the high court to halt the proceedings during his transition to the Oval Office. This comes after a New York appeals court yesterday rejected the president-elect's latest attempt to delay the sentencing.

Trump was convicted back in May on 34 felony counts related to so-called hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. He's asked the high court to halt the proceedings during his transition to the Oval Office. This comes after a New York appeals court yesterday rejected the president-elect's latest attempt to delay the sentencing.

Trump's lawyers argue that the Supreme Court's recent decision on presidential immunity should cover the current transition period and that the hush money case undermines the presidency. The Supreme Court filing comes alongside a similar request to New York's highest court, as Trump continues to challenge what he calls a politically motivated prosecution.
