Morgan credited President Donald Trump’s border security policy with the reduction of migrants getting into the United States.

“This president, under the auspices of the CDC, provided us with what we call Title 42,” Morgan said, referring to that U.S. Code that gives the CDC authority to protect the public health.

“It’s not an immigration enforcement policy,” Morgan said “It is a public health law.”

Morgan also talked about the ongoing construction of the wall on the U.S. border with Mexico and how it is improving national security, including protecting the public health during the pandemic.“Even with all of that, we have continued to work tirelessly with the United States Army Corps of Engineers to continue to build the wall system,” Morgan said. “In fact, we have actually increased the speed at which we are building the wall system these past few months.”

“We’re changing their behavior so that we can have more resources where we know they’re going to be and, again, we’re going to apprehend them and remove them right away and not bring them into our facilities or introduce them into our health care system,” Morgan said.

Morgan also credited Trump for “a network of tools and policies” that led to a vast reduction of boarders crossers, which in May of 2019 was about 144,000 encounters, which was reduced by January and February of 2020 to about 30,000 a month — representing a 75 percent reduction before the start of the coronavirus outbreak.

Now, Morgan said, the number of daily encounters is about 1,200 a day.

“But the key now is, under Title 42, from a public health standpoint, we’re returning 90 precent of those back to Mexico within two hours,” Morgan said.
