00:00 Right on. Right on! Adam Curry, John C. DeVore It's Thursday July 5th 2018 This is your award winning Gimbo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1048 This is no agenda Even more acronyms than before and broadcasting live from the camel of the drone Star State here in downtown Los Anteos In the Cluedio in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley Where we're asking, if they abolish ice how will we make cocktails? I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning... Yeah a joke i have not heard yet No one made the connection Well that is... You're taking it too seriously maybe I did get a good email by the way
00:58 from one of our producers who was a former member of CBP. Okay, because we always get everything mixed up this is... Oh we do Paul US Border Patrol retired and douchebag things have changed since Department of Homeland Security came into effect and so let me run this down So people understand exactly whose role is what at the United States border? Yeah, I will read this to you verbatim. The US Border Patrol is a component of CBP, as is ICE. They're all under DHS. Much of the media make the same mistake—understandable but not accurate. That's why we are the best podcast in the universe—we try to correct things. ICE was formed at the onset of Homeland Security in 2003 and combined legacy INS criminal investigators with U.S. Customs criminal investigators
01:56 So there you go. It's not like it was a bunch of other things folded into one. Interestingly, it was not always easy then and probably now to get ICE to even work immigration cases since many of the legacy customs investigators couldn't speak Spanish Spanish language ability was mandatory within INS enforcement agents, but in recent years their focus is back on aliens in a bigger way. And then he goes into the checkpoints which if you don't mind I'll just read that too so we understand exactly what the rules are on that Interior checkpoints within 100 air miles are operated by the U.S. Border Patrol I spent 15 years working at three checkpoints before transferring to a line station where we work the border itself. I'm happy to see you research that checkpoints are upheld by the Supreme Court, The idea behind them is as secondary lines of defense to funnel and apprehend illegal traffic after it was made
02:49 after it has made it away from the actual border. A factor that was instrumental in making checkpoints so prolific was the court's propensity towards suppressing roving patrol traffic stops The government used to be able to legally get away with stopping everyone, So that's why this was changed Okay And then regarding asylum which as we talked about on the last episode It's not so much the immigration system That is broken but the asylum requirements which allow you to request asylum even after entering the United States illegally. And so our friend Paul here says, The US is being gamed by asylum seekers...the vast majority of claims will be denied since their real reason for coming is financial. Activist groups and the open borders people are spreading the word to ask for asylum and please bring children along to bog down the ability to detain pending a decision
03:48 It buys time and if you're released, you can just disappear. The answer is either changing the law or simply speeding up the adjudication process. Conduct credible fear interviews and asylum hearings every day at detention centers then immediately remove those who are denied When I was still on the job until 2010 it was very rare for any OTM which stands for other than Mexican to even claim asylum Isn't that interesting? So in 2010 It was really only people from Mexico who were claiming asylum. No, he didn't say that it was rare for any OTM other than Mexican to even claim asylum He says otm other than Mexican? Yes, you're gonna mexican claim asylum Well they can't That's I think that's his point. He says all most of them are bogus anyway
