On this episode of the podcast, Art Del Cueto, Vice President of the National Border Patrol Council, discusses the decision by Mexico to deploy 10,000 troops to its northern border to offset the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump roughly one day ago. Del Cueto questions the effectiveness of this specific move and stresses the need for enforcement beyond Texas, particularly in Arizona and California. He also breaks down the growing threat of cartel copycats, the importance of targeting cartel finances, and the ongoing issue of gotaways despite a drop in daily border crossings. Furthermore, he shares his perspective on President Trump’s effective border policies and why long-term strategies like continuing border wall construction are critical to securing the nation.
