Navarrette: I Give More Credit to ICE Agents and Border Control than to W.H. for the 70% Drop in Crossings

‘I give a lot more credit to ICE agents on the ground’

NAVARRETTE: "These are complicated things. This is not just because of President Trump. It's because of the economy in Mexico, some apprehension about coming into the United States and also some really creative policies by ICE. I give them credit. They have found a way to discourage border crossings."
DOOCY: "I did not hear the last part of what you just said."
NAVARRETTE: "I'm sorry. I said there is really creative policies by ICE. They found ways to create situations, for instance, they separate families at the border to create disincentive to cross the border. I give a lot more credit to ICE agents on the ground or border patrol agents on the ground than I do the White House."
