Arizona sheriff tells Biden to 'do your job' as border crossings surge

BORDER, IT WAS UP 71% FROM FEBRUARY THIS YEAR. STUART: FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR VIEWERS, THERE WERE 172,000 APPREHENSIONS IN THE SOUTHERN BORDER IN THE MONTH OF MARCH, BORDER IN THE MONTH OF MARCH, UP 71%, THE SHERIFF OF FINAL COUNTY ARIZONA, BORDER CROSSINGS ARE UP, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION BLAMES TRUMP. >> THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY WOULD BLAME DONALD TRUMP. THEY DID THE BEST THEY COULD TO UNDERMINE HIM FOR FOUR YEARS. THE NUMBERS DON’T SUPPORT THAT. DURING TRUMP’S ADMINISTRATION WE SAW A DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TRYING TO CROSS THE COUNTRY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 2019 WHEN THE MIGRATION OF PEOPLE CAME UP AND THEY WERE AFFORDED. THEY COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR DONALD TRUMP’S POLICIES. IT IS JUST NOT TRUE. MY MESSAGE, STOP BLAMING DONALD TRUMP AND DO YOUR JOB. I 20 HEAR THE BLAME GAME NOR DOES AMERICA. WE WANT YOU TO DO YOUR JOB. WE WANT YOU TO DO YOUR JOB. STUART: YOUR COUNTY IS 50, 60 MILES NORTH OF THE BORDER. I SUSPECT YOU SEE A LOT OF THE MIGRANTS COMING THROUGH YOUR COUNTY. WOULD YOU SAY YOU ARE BEING OVERWHELMED? >> ABSOLUTELY. THE PEOPLE WHO COME INTO MY COUNTY ARE RUNNING FROM US IN PURSUIT, THEY BAILED OUT, INTO THE COMMUNITY. THEY DRESSED IN CAMOUFLAGE CLOTHES, WEARING CARPET SHOES LIKE THIS TO MASK THEMSELVES SO WE CAN’T FIND THEIR TRACKS, DRUGS LIKE METHAMPHETAMINES AND FENTANYL, THEY ARE LITTERING MY DESERT WITH THESE KIND OF THINGS. I DON’T LIKE THAT. WEARS THE SIERRA CLUB TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO OUR DESERT? THE FACT IS WE HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM. IT IS A CRISIS. IT IS EXTENDING 60, 70 MILES INTO OUR BORDER AND DOESN’T STOP THERE. STOP THERE. THIS IS GOING THROUGHOUT AMERICA, IT WAS DONE BY SHERIFF TOM HOSKINS OUT OF BRISTOL COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS SAYING WE NEED TO HONOR THEIR OATH TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE. STUART: I EXPRESSED A STRONG OPINION THIS MORNING, I AM SAYING DEMOCRATS DO NOT WANT TO STOP THE FLOW BECAUSE THEY SEE THESE MIGRANTS AS FUTURE DEMOCRAT VOTERS. THAT IS AN EXTREME OPINION. ARE YOU WITH ME YES OR NO? ARE YOU WITH ME YES OR NO? >> I’M WITH YOU AND THEIR RHETORIC, THIS IS ANOTHER EFFORT, THEY ARE WILLFULLY NOT ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAW. WE DON’T GET THAT OPPORTUNITY, OUR JOB IS TO ENFORCE THE LAW. IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE IMMIGRATION LAW GO TO CONGRESS AND MAKE THOSE CHANGES AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENFORCE THE LAW. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO WHAT WE CAN. FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO A PROTECT AMERICA, PROTECTAMERICANOW.COM, THE SHERIFF IS STILL UNDECIDED
