stations, fake or shadow police stations in new york. the idea chinese party has tentacles in our country, that is foregone conclusion, how much do we know, are we monitoring it? we don't know. >> lawrence: back in the trump administration, we had the opportunity to do ride-along with the border patrol, this administration wants to keep us out. border patrol union has to invite us in. we would go through tunnels. they were on the offense. we would see an illegal that was chinese, but it was unheard of. now you have to say what is going on, bill melugin tweet. why is this happening, this is on x. there is now an orchestrated, well organized cartel smuggling operation of chinese to southern california and appears there has

been zero effort to spop it. why? >> rachel: listen to this, bill melugin has an incredible piece of video, he intercedes with two turk irk guys. we are okay, but we are worried about you guys. illegals are going what is going on in this country. there is a california mom, her name is let me shmake sure i ge her name. brittney mayer. coming down, chinese and illegals, end up after they get processed, at this transport center and n.g.o.s are there. you are going to a shelter, you need a bus ticket, you go to the airport to go where you want to

go. they are charging their phone for illegal migrants. all of them are getting shuffled off and this mom there witnessing said everybody had a place to go except chinese and she witnessed chinese being picked up by other chinese. there is a operation, something going on and the question is, where is the media, our government, national security? something strange is going on, they are mostly military age. in the dareien, down in the journey they take in the darien gap, the chinese have a different system, staying at nicer hotel, not camping out like the other migrants. something is happening and our government is not on the up and
