Duncan Hunter

We have one of the participants from the debate up the F and a guy who is absolutely impressed me each and every debate that up -- and I haven't missed one yet. The one and only congressman Duncan hunter joins -- era veterans from demonic congress a good morning -- listen Tom actually I was excluded from the fox debate last -- yes and you know shame on fox I like the way fox has reached out to a lot of people on a lot of issues including nearly on the try to get the Democrats come on fox -- talk about racial issues and the damage Ron and I from fox. But fox really could not live up to -- in my opinion to its tradition. We had a tradition by not having you on that opportunity in each time you've spoken I think with an emphasis on immigration. The war on on the war on terror and economic challenges in a way that I find very very compelling so delighted to have you on.

Hey Tom -- immigrate to be within you know. Before the debate we won I got -- we want to delegate we want to caucus in Wyoming. And actually have a point on the scoreboard at close quarters as pat Buchanan just said that John connally spent ten million dollars got one delegate -- but the interesting thing is fox when they -- that debate. I have a delegate. John McCain has zero Rudy Giuliani their hero direct and those boys are on the on the die as and I'm not. And you know I think it's a real disservice because boxes. Motto is we report you decide in this case I think they decided a little better like.

Yeah I do to I do -- you know what I want to -- what -- congressman immigration you live it your congressional district is down there on the border very close tabs a lot of them and it was a notoriously porous pot of our border with with Mexico helped the RKO listeners understand what it was that you did. Specifically is the interior of border control a double fence in the --

Hey great Tom Willis and I want you to. I want to take you down to the to the border with Mexico is -- this let's let's imagine that the sun is starting to go down it's in the evening. And you look across from the bluffs overlooking Tijuana Mexico from the American side and you see people forming. It -- almost military like units in blocks of 102030500000 people at a time. And you'll see that each in each of those blocks each of those battalions you'll see coyotes are guides. Cutting out there -- twenty or thirty people that they intend to lead crossing illegally cross the border. As soon as the sun goes down that which you have each and every night every action every -- a multi million dollar per night business they would extract 3400 bucks apiece from each of these illegal crossroads and interspersed would be people with backpacks of cocaine and marijuana. Who would come across with the groups of people just entering illegally they would form up and when the sun went down they would come across. Then imagine you have the armed gangs that they -- there people with automatic weapons they would. Make their living playing on the illegal aliens coming across Robbie -- be murdering. -- you had a no man's land that existed was so bad that the album and that the book lines and shadows was written about it by the by the the bestselling author who wrote the onion field. Oh Joseph L ball coach Joe -- Joe Allbaugh is and he wrote about the that was so bad we had hit a plainclothes police unit that dressed up like illegal aliens. Headed by a sergeant Lopez they would go to other way to be attacked by the border games. Then they'd pull out -- guarantee that out either have a shoot out or series of -- That's what it was like before I've dealt the double border fence and went when did you build that in what's the length of like right now -- put the result of it. Well there's a fort the first the number one smugglers court and that's where most of the illegal aliens came across the coming of the entire country. He -- area from the Pacific Ocean to the coastal hills. -- imagine that that's it that's -- southern boundary of America. Between San Diego and Tijuana Mexico. We built up the first -- built a fourteen mile fence built out of steel landing that that's this these steel planking you can get together and make a runway in the desert. If you make put -- vertical and Wheldon -- you make good sense. When we put that thing up. We stopped all the drug drive through here at 300 drive trucks a month on average of roared across sagebrush and we slowed down the illegal -- But then I've built the second border into it to double fans. With the road in between I wrote that in the law during the Clinton administration 1996. And it that said and I wrote that law myself that said the administration had the bill. The double border fence I actually -- to triple to start out they should we have to build all three layers -- out anyway. We'll built to keep all three layers on the books if we don't need the third layer we won't build it. Tom we've never needed it because that double fence with a high speed border patrol road in between in the second vintage fifteen feet -- with a big overhang. Has reduced the smuggling people and drugs I'm more than 90% the crime rate in the city of San Diego fell by FBI statistics. By 53% when we built it. And the border murders went from ten a year on average to zero.

Let me jump to the larger issue congressman again -- district would encompass hospitals schools social social service agencies welfare offices and the like we do we do a lot of commentary on the over burdening in the challenge that would occur in the particularly in California new Mexico Arizona Texas. What do you see as a congressman in -- area in the nose and in those realms of schools and in hospitals well. Massively overblown and into on the one place where -- where people haven't looked -- besides the social services. -- right now we've got 250000 criminal aliens those are guys that came across not to get a job to hurt Americans. We were in -- federal state and local penitent trees in jails. They cost history billion a year besides that the human pain they've inflicted on the victims on this side of the border. So the the open border has had a massive effect. On our social system also won a criminal justice system. -- and ultimately it's also overriding thing. And primarily a terrorist issue. You've got a 2000 mile open border mentioned by every anti terrorist panel that we employees. As a major exposure in this country. And you know what you have is a very professional smuggling organization on the south side of the border. So the same smuggler on the south side of the border who take 10000 dollars to -- a -- of cocaine for you cross tonight. -- 10000 dollars to -- 300 illegal aliens across. We'll also take 10000 dollar commute. To move explosives to cost they don't have there's don't know controversial bullet that vulnerable so so I wrote the law that expansive San Diego border Phoenix 854 miles. Across Arizona New Mexico and Texas. The president signed that law. On the 26 of October 2006 and I wrote that law it says you shall bill. The border foods it's that you shall build. He shall fans all of Arizona -- ambiguous -- we're no ambiguous and at the same language used that the Clinton administration that they are followed to build their border. To date the administration's only -- five point 15 miles of 854 -- help but listen -- understand the political resistance on the Democrat who served in the Massachusetts legislature for a number -- became speaker of the house but I shake my head and say why we no longer a serious as a nation. Why would some Democrats and Republicans be resistant to this notion of in the aftermath of 9/11. Becoming very serious about border security Tom there's no answer because obviously it's a non negotiable that every country should. Be able to know who's coming in their country and what to bring -- let's hope that should be non negotiable. And we've got the biggest front door in the world and you know there's not even a humanitarian component to it in -- humanitarian component to the border into let me explain that. Last summer we have over hundred illegal aliens dying in the Arizona desert I know because my brother puts out water formed save their lives. Over a hundred of them died of heat in the Arizona desert. I had the Arizona desert slated for mandatory construction all of it -- with a double faults. By may of oh wait that you had -- if you had hundreds high school students. Drowning in the canal every year what would you do -- significantly in medium welfare -- so that's right so the lawyers would call an attractive nuisance apps rightly so so the open border crowd. Has no ground to stand on and why this administration. And we had 800 million dollars sitting there. All year in cash available for construction of the border fence mr. Chertoff acknowledges that they've -- case -- as president. Offense that border all of it only 54 miles in six months that's my commitment.

I have no doubt the president Duncan -- would do a -- great and join us continue the fight we didn't even get to talk about the war on terror but let me say while I have you on the a year and I KO. Thank you FiOS service even if probably accurate on this US son's service as well yup thank you Tanya he just got back from Afghanistan is third tour to interact want to -- On Thanksgiving Day walk him. Her family. Really think I'm sure they were that's a special that's a very point in thanksgiving congressman -- one of the good guys very impressive and all the debates he's plugging away -- trying to get traction in the snows of New Hampshire delighted to see him here to welcome him to. --
