0:00.0	It's Wednesday, July 17th, 2024 from Peach Fish Productions.
0:07.7	It's the gist I'm Mike Pesky.
0:09.2	You meet so many interesting people at the RNC. So last night a major theme was immigration.
0:15.0	Here's the statistics, the US southern border, has experienced almost six and a half
0:19.7	million migrant encounters so far during the Biden presidency.
0:23.4	The numbers for Trump with an assist from COVID were 2.5 million, which is still a lot.
0:29.1	This leads to the cry, we need to secure the border. It's not phrased as to better secure or to stem the

1:23.3	absolutely unacceptable. We are not a sovereign nation if we continue to allow this.
1:28.9	And so there are steps to take after that.
1:33.4	But it can't just be a blanket amnesty.
1:36.9	That's been tried before, even by Reagan.
1:39.2	And it's not a system that is sustainable.
1:43.2	So we have got to put bigger checks on even the visa programs,
