When it’s truly documented – you’ve done a lot of the great work documenting – that the intelligence community has this intelligence. I think it’s very feasible that, if you’re President of the United States, you have access to this intelligence information.

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.
