| 0:04.0 | Mr. Chief Justice, may it place the court. |
| 0:07.0 | This is Hans von Spakovsky, and this is the latest episode of Case in Point. |
| 0:12.0 | And the title of our episode today is The Radical's newest Heroes, Gangsters and Human Traffickers. |
| 0:19.0 | As we all know, President Trump has been tried to fulfill his campaign promise to take care of the immigration problems we've had now for a number of years, to secure the border and to deport the millions of illegal aliens who were allowed into the country during the last administration, |
| 0:40.5 | in particular the many criminal illegal aliens who are now loose throughout the country. |
| 0:47.1 | The Biden administration holds the dubious record, I believe, of allowing the largest number |
| 0:52.8 | of illegal aliens in the country of anti-presidency |
| 0:56.3 | since we started keeping records on this. The estimates range from 8 to 10 million to even |

| 1:53.4 | an El Salvadoran citizen illegally in the U.S., who has been betrayed by many, |
| 1:59.5 | such as Senator Chris Van Holland of Maryland, as a hero, whereas you |
| 2:05.3 | have judges, law enforcement officials, and others who say that he was a member of MS-13, |
| 2:12.2 | a domestic abuser, and a person involved in human trafficking. |
| 2:25.3 | Garcia, who keeps being referred to in the media, as a Maryland father, even though he's a citizen of El Salvador, and as I said, is here illegally, has been portrayed as a cause-celeb by the glitterity of the liberal, |
