Reinstating the border policies put in place during former President Donald Trump's administration is the best way to restore a secure border, former acting Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Mark Morgan told Newsmax on Sunday.
"I'm not trying to be flippant here," Morgan, now a visiting fellow for the Heritage Foundation, commented on Newsmax's "Wake Up America." "We reach up on the shelf and look for the book that says 'Trump Era Border Security Plan.' We pull it off, dust it off, and implement it."
That would mean reinstituting the safe third country agreements with all three Northern Triangle countries, and the "Remain in Mexico" program, and "We remove criminal aliens from our streets and we rebuild the wall," said Morgan. "It's all part of a multilateral strategy of infrastructure, technology, and personnel on top of policies. We do that, and you have a secure border."
Morgan said he was in El Paso last week, and he wanted listeners to understand that the humanitarian dangers are real, as are the risks to national security and safety, and the crisis has been driven by the Biden administration's open border policies.
"It's unconscionable what's going on right now," said Morgan. "My question is, How many more Americans have to die? How many more migrants have to die before we demand that enough is enough?"
Texas, meanwhile, is redirecting illegal migrants to the nearest ports of entry, which is what the federal government should be doing, said Morgan.
"It is extremely successful because it acted as a deterrent wherever they were applying that strategy," he said. "I really applaud the efforts of Gov. [Greg] Abbott and all the incredible men and women of the Texas DPS and National Guard."

They claimed for 4 years they had a smarter way to secure the borders. Guess the insane left was lying.
Just bring back Trump.
He won the election anyway.
