Former CBP chief Morgan says Trump needs to implement his border policies 'on steroids' if reelected

Former U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan said Thursday that if former President Donald Trump is reelected in 2024, he needs to re-implement his border policies.

"We're going to implement many of those same policies such as the signing of the cooperative agreements we had with all three Northern Triangle countries [and] the remain in Mexico program," Morgan said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "We're going to start rebuilding the wall system. "We're going to increase interior enforcement. We're going to start removing those that have had due process and remain in the country illegally."

"I think what we're going to do though, is we're just going to apply that strategy on steroids," he added.

Trump has already said earlier this year that if reelected, he will conduct mass deportations and use local police to do so, according to Axios. 

"It's going to be the local police are going to turn them over, and we're going to have to move them back to their country," he said during a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity. 

Morgan said he thinks more and more Americans are becoming more aware about the problem with the border.

"I think finally the American people are getting more aware that what happens at our border doesn't stay at the border, and the drug crisis is one of those," he said.
