When it’s truly documented – you’ve done a lot of the great work documenting – that the intelligence community has this intelligence.

And you analyze everything. And a lot of that is in this book. So I highly recommend everyone to purchase this book. I

It probably has some of the most inciteful, first-hand accounts of what’s going on with our immigration all throughout Latin America and up through to the border and how that migration chain has evolved and can be abused by nefarious actors that are looking to basically sneak illicit actors into the United States.
