We open the hour with former Border Patrol official Greg Bovino’s long interview with Tucker Carlson. Bovino calls illegal immigration the greatest threat the country has faced since its founding and warns about amnesty, voting and national identity. We agree with the push for mass deportations, but we separate that from our view of Bovino himself: Shawn argues his highly public approach created damaging publicity, while Nick says the administration’s quieter tactics may produce better results without abandoning the underlying enforcement goal.
