Immigration attorney Rolando Vasquez told the network that while many of his clients are self-deporting to avoid being detained by Trump's federal immigration agents, others are opting to go to Mexico due to new laws that would have the greatest impact on Cuban and Venezuelan migrants, as these countries generally do not accept deportation flights from the United States but may accept them from Mexico.
"This is causing many migrants to leave on their own, knowing that they're either going to be deported to their home country or be deported to Mexico," Vasquez said. "The overwhelming majority of them do not want to be in Mexico.
However, many migrants do not want to stay in Mexico due to historical persistent threats from the country's criminal cartels. Ventura was informed by sources in Mexico that it is probable that newly deported migrants will be exploited, extorted, or abducted by the country's numerous cartels and human smugglers.
The United States experienced the most significant immigration influx in its history under the Biden administration, with an annual average of approximately 2.5 million illegal migrants entering the country between 2021 and 2023, according to CBP data.
Border officials informed NewsNation last month that illegal migrants who were in the process of asylum proceedings had terminated their proceedings and proceeded to ports of entry that would enable them to depart prior to Trump's inauguration.
During the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump advocated for a variety of border security policies, such as resuming border wall construction, the elimination of sanctuary cities and states, and carrying out the largest mass deportation operation in the nation's history.
“As you know, the market for U.S. Treasuries is the largest in the world at $28 trillion, and it's critical for the financial stability of the United States. There's actually a proposal for an entity to clear U.S. treasury futures at the London clearing house which is overseen by the Bank of England. Some argue that the Bank of England would have control over ...a default scenario in this critical market instead of the U.S. Is this of concern to you?”
Scott Bessent replied: You raise a very important question and one that I will investigate further. I was unaware, until the past few days, of this with the new exchange. What I can tell you, as a student and professor of economic history, is that it is important for the U.S. - for the U.S. Treasuries, for us to be able to resolve any stress issues in the markets in the U.S. We saw during the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, that much of the, many of the problems emanated from the U.K. subsidiary, so this is something that ... my inclination is that the resolution authority must lie here in the U.S., but I will get back to you in writing with an answer on this, if confirmed.
Before declaring his "inclination," Bessent thanked Senator Cornyn for bringing the matter to his attention, and during their exchange, Cornyn made it clear that the two have visited together at his office and discussed the issues. The first, obvious question is, why should American treasuries be cleared in London, through a clearing house under Bank of England's control? Who wanted this to happen, and where did such a proposal originate from? Why is there no public debate about such a major development? Why are the media ignoring it?
