The Trump administration has done various things to protect our safety, one of which includes meaningful border control policies.  Such policies are helping to stop the free-flow of illegal drugs in the U.S. and keep illegal immigrants from committing very egregious crimes.  

Returning to Crosstalk with an update on this subject was Mark Krikorian.  Mark is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues serving as the executive director of Center for Immigration Studies.  They are an independent, non-partisan research organization examining and critiquing the impact of immigration on the United States.  He has testified numerous times before Congress and has published articles in many outlets.

We're 10 months into the Trump administration and according to Mark, by the end of the year we could see as many as 800,000 deportations.  In addition, we are at the lowest levels of encounters at the border since the 1960's, and while some individuals may be released on bond by an immigration judge, no one is being released into the country at the border.

That's the good news.  However, there are still issues to be noted and watched.  For example, Mark also reported on the following:

• What is the current status of the border wall?
• What's the latest concerning the drug cartel tunnels?
• California's admittance of issuing 17,000 CDL licenses to foreign nationals.
• Why are some cities fighting the use of federal help to protect such areas?
• What about the children that went missing under the Biden administration?
• How have illegal aliens affected our healthcare and the SNAP program?
• Should we get out of the U.N. refugee treaty?
