After holding American hostages for over a year under Commander in Chief Jimmy Carter, became so scared of a tough, independent-minded Ronald Reagan coming into office, they let those hostages go on the very day he was sworn in. So they didn't risk him taking military action against them. This is another story from Jessica Vaughan, January 2017, that reports that ``ICE Deportations Hit 10-Year Low.'' This is January 2017. DHS has hit a 10-year low in deportations. We see stories about how border control is almost nonexistent on our southern border, stories that expectation of amnesty is attracting immigrants to our U.S. border. Here is another story from January 10 by Brittany Hughes, ``Border Agents Catch Another Wave of Illegal Aliens From Cuba Amid Escalating Spike.'' I have been told, when I am down there, they are seeing more and more Cubans coming across the Mexican border of all places. So the insecurity--not mentally--of the United States, but the actual insecurity of the United States because of our vulnerability to people that hate us and drug cartels that want to make billions of dollars by hooking people on drugs that they will deliver, has reached insane levels. That is probably part of the reason that Donald Trump was elected President by an avalanche in the electoral college.
