. >> first, the government has a failed flawed strategy of patrolling the border.fact is, they come into work, the 650 agents in the tucson station come to check out gun and vehicle and to get in their truck it is three hours to the international border. so they don't go to the international border they merely go about halfway and try and apprehend people 15- 20 or 30 miles inside of the united states. and as a consequence, the border approximate trol strategy has ceded hundreds of square miles to the cartel. >> the cartels figured that out because they want the comings and goings of the border patrol agents. what is it like for you and your family land. what kind of things is happening that was unguarded? >> well, there's no border patrol between my house and that fence that you see on your screen. i have stumbled into drug loads and cartel druggers have run and there are cartel scouts and there is a tremendous amount of drugs and trash and cartel led people through our ranch. they have arrested 4100 people on our ranch or north of our ranch having tromped through

the border patrol will still be patrolling the u.s. border. anything that's considered an essential service, the protection of lives and property, that's going to continue even if we are shut down. moving on to what is affected: there will be employee furloughs and taking a look at the projections for this time around and what's happened in the past, what shutdowns have happened, we can expect 800,000 or so government employees to be working less than they do now. passports and visas will not be processed. the centers for disease control will be impact. also, veterans benefits will be paid but because of the draw down and people working on the government payroll, we can expect those vet transbenefits to be a little bit delayed. so that's what's going to happen and not happen in the sort of broad brush on this thing. if you are going to south seattle to get a passport or a visa processed, it's probably not going to happen. let's remember that's if, in nine days, no deal is made and if that shutdown happens. jonathan? >> plan accordingly. alan s
