What actions did President Trump take on immigration in his first days back?
Well, a lot has changed. That's what really needed to get done was change. Trump ended the Biden policy of catch and release, where illegal aliens crossed over, turned themselves in, and then Biden let them go. He ended these mass parole programs, parole in an immigration sense, which is basically just letting people into the country who have no right to be here, inadmissible aliens. And there was like 2,000, 2,500 a day. They were just letting them schedule their illegal immigration. either at the Mexican border or flying into the interior and they'd let them go and they had work permits. It was just, it was crazy. So that's stuff they've just ended. The question is, of course, how much are they going to be able to unwind of what Biden did?
And that's the kind of thing that's going to be, we're going to see how that works out. One of the big issues there is what are they going to do with all these Venezuelans? Because Mexico takes its own people back. Central American countries are going to take their own people back. We don't have any relations with Venezuela. We don't even have air travel there.
