RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY (FOX NEWS HOST): It doesn't make any sense. If you just scratch the surface of that, it makes no sense. The border is open as you rightly pointed out. The smugglers, the people, the Border Patrol, the people who live in the area will tell you the border is open that they -- And by the way, our border is the most dangerous border crossing in the entire world. That Alejandro Mayorkas is not embarrassed to be the secretary of homeland security while our national border has become the most dangerous border crossing in the entire globe. He should be ashamed of himself.
JOEY JONES (FOX NEWS HOST): No, and the problem with the border that we have right now is quite simply that there's no policy that the Biden administration is looking at putting in place that can slow it down. It's not, it's not so much oh this is music to the smugglers' ears. No, the smugglers aren't unsophisticated. They understand exactly how to get people across, how to get drugs across, and how to take advantage of it, and they also see that there's no policy coming down the pipe that would change it.
CAMPOS-DUFFY (FOX NEWS HOST): There is though, Joey. There's one policy. They've decided that they don't want anyone who might potentially oppose socialism —
JONES (FOX NEWS HOST): Venezuela.
CAMPOS-DUFFY (FOX NEWS HOST): And so they've decided to take Venezuelans, just Venezuelans, and reinstitute Title 42, which was the "Remain in Mexico" policy of the Trump administration, and apply it just to people who hate socialism.
PETE HEGSETH (FOX NEWS HOST): Just like they did with Cubans at one point as well.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: Exactly.
