Thanks Todd for this alarming yet entertaining report from the ominous Border Security Expo. The symbiosis of governmental authoritarianism and corporate profiteering is so blatant...I admire your ability to attend these conventions and talk to the vendors with a straight face!

Just so you know, we do have additional live feeds from the expo. Now mind you, just learning how to do this, so my ineptitude is rather amusing, you can take it as comic relief. But the last one I did, I was able to walk on the expo floor and give an idea of what was going on there.

🚩Hello from San Ysidro California ! Migrant arrivals at this border have been down 90% since early 2024...long before Trump was elected in Nov 2024./ of course Trump & Co take all the credit.. ! Vivian Marlene Dunbar Editor Baja News and San Ysidro - Tijuana resident since 1995.🇲🇽🇺🇸

Yes, thanks, Vivian. They took complete credit.. I think I heard the 94 percent decrease a hundred times. But there was no mention of the downward trend of crossings starting in early 2024...

Taking the deportation argument to its ultimate logical conclusion, native American leaders should stand up and call for the deportation of everyone of European decent in the US

In my experience I've found the most fervent supporters of deportation/border enforcement never want to hear that argument.
